    So, what happened today?

    The disconnect between the 2 situations is just mind-boggling.

    Raya is a top keeper but he is playing behind one of the best CB pairings in the division. Arsenal slipped badly without Saliba. Utd's defence has been a shambles for a number of seasons. Onana isn't as 'bad' as the last 2 seasons have suggested. An increase/decrease in exposure defines how...

    Not disagrreing with that at all but the timings of Gutterboy's response to SillyMSF - that the US wasn't a strategic effort and the hard yards to get everyone in NI around the table. All that strategy went on 3 to 6 years before 9/11.

    Such BS. Israel don't want a two state solution. They have engineered the consistant intifadas to make sure peace is never achieved,. Israel wants a Greater Israel, from the river to the Sea as Likud put it way back when. To think Hamas is the only problem here is pure, and probably wilful...

    Bombing North Korea tomorrow?? Or any time in the last 3 decades? Much more credible threat to USA and its Allies and yet .....

    American politics

    @Silly McSilly Face So given there was no immediate credible threat to the USA, can we agree that under usual international standards them bombing a soverign country with no provocation is illegal? Even if they were doing it on behalf of their puppet regime?

    By the timelines referenced I assume you mean the Bible? They have a 'better' written history than many other tribes that were enslaved or deported etc (but what can be deciphered from other non-jewish sources suggests that they were just one 'other' people out of many) in pre-literate times...

    Nothing to do with Labour (or Kamala Harris for that matter which was an earlier iteration of this meme) as far as I can tell.

    Always a bit cautious about what Gabbard says. She is even deeper into Putin's orifaces than Trump and so could have been transmitting the Kremlin line in order to protect Iran.

    Bit harsh to say Egyptians, Babylonians and Romans persecuted the Jews specifically. They were just another conquered people to them and were treated no differently to other subjagated communities (which at times made them the specific spacegoat and at other times meant other communities felt...

    Oct 7th was 18 months ago. Pay back time? Israel has been paying back with interest for decades through asymmetrical warfare.

    Accepting your position (obviously) that Iran is providing the weapons so is a legitimate target, why now rather than any time in the last 3 decades? The risk from conventional weapons hasn't changed so does that factor in to the legitimacy? There is no new greater threat. Basically taking a...

    Trump taking two weeks to think of his response would suggest it isn't an immediate threat. I imagine opinions on whether it meets the test or not are available in all hues. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/06/19/eu-divided-over-israels-right-to-bomb-iran...

    Yes, but it still needs to have an immediate threat that it is responding to. No such one exists currently to justify a pre-emptive strike. Wow, Israel has used it to justify illegal actions before and not been called up on it. What a shocker!

    Because USA had been funding terrorist organisations overseas to encourage regime change and some of those involved decided that an attack on USA territory is therefore justified. Funding is funding, surely? Targetting civilians doesn't seem to be here nor there when it is USA/NATO/UK, Israel...

    Yeah but we know the US and Israel (amongst others) ignore the UN whenever it suits them which has allowed other countries to ignore them. Much as the USA devalued the League of Nations and the ICC by refusing to sign up to them or being answerable to International norms.

    Caroline Test (from the frigging 1830S for GHod's sake!!!) states the need for a "instant, overwhelming, leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation". This would mean that Iran HAVE nuclear weapons and were going to the use them now, NOT in a few weeks time. Neither of those are...

    That really isn't enough under International Law for a pre-emptive strike against another soverign nation. Under that reading the 9/11 attack was justified, right?
