I’ve been predicting Iran as the real target since the first gulf war
People forget that the only reason Iraq wasn’t wiped out in the war with Iran in the eighties was US backing
American troops were confused to find Iraqi soldiers with US weapons, they forget their history so quickly
Riots that were encouraged by US actors in the region to destabilise and give this excuse
It’s an old play by the yanks, but it has worked more than once
Israel has some real, incontrovertible dirt on Trump that they are holding over him
He’s also desperate to have the US at war so he can suspend elections, because he knows that he will be hurt by the midterms
He’s also pathetically insecure, and history has traditionally looked back fondly at wartime leaders like Churchill and the like. He’s hoping for that
And the worst motivation, but one that I sincerely believe is accurate, is that he wants to use nuclear weapons. He wants to be remembered as a president who pushed the button. He’s a child, and he wants to play with all the toys
I hope he dies before he can do more harm
I didn’t give a shit
My account on the old nsfw stopped working because apparently someone shit the bed or stopped doing something or whatever
It’s not something that I care about, so I just did whatever
I have no idea what instance I’m on
I don’t even know what instances are, or what difference it makes
I sent her a dick pic
!There’s a lot more to the story, but that’s the essence of it. I do not recommend it to anyone unless you were in the same circumstances as we were!<
No, they can’t
Your friend is likely to be a bit of a numpty
Absolute twaddle.
Most of us in the civilised world pity Americans
We understand that there are systemic problems that individuals can’t be held responsible for, unless they have chosen to be a part of the problem
It’s the obnoxious ones who expect the we give a fuck that they’re yanks that have a hard time, regardless of their politics
The ones who travel wearing Trump hats or otherwise forcing their idiotic politics into things reap what they sow
I seldom lock my doors, and even if I lock the front door, the back door is always open for my dog to go in and out as he pleases
I never worry about being hit, and firearm crime here is vanishingly rare
Nowhere is perfect. My nearest pub isn’t the sort of place if ever go because the regulars are morons, but I live somewhere peaceful and serene
In a crisis, I know that I’m infinitely more capable and useful than someone who shuffles paper and pretends that they add value to society
I am a tradesman
I also have a bachelor of science degree
What I do is most definitely skilled labour
The bullshit, classist crap about what is and is not skilled labour is pathetic
I can promise that when the chips are down, the most useless people are the ones who sneer at those of us with calloused hands
For-profit healthcare is beyond disgusting
Slavery never went away in the US. It was rebranded, encompassing all but the ruling classes, with people’s health tied to their employment
All so some people who were already rich could get richer, and the cost to the American public is a fucking disgrace
Long live Luigi!
Can you blame them?
The US is a fucking hellscape
I spend quite a bit of time there. I’m over several times a year and I genuinely don’t know how people can live like that
There’s a constant thin thread of fear, wrapped around everything, running through everything
People are afraid of the people around them. They’re afraid of their government, they’re afraid of the people who are supposed to be there to protect them, they’re afraid of their employers, they’re afraid of the unknown
I’m very careful not to take my charmed life for granted
Carina Burina O Fortuna
If it’s worth watching, I’ll watch it on my telly
It’s hardly an “effort”
Baden Powell was a fucking paedo
I didn’t say that it was staged
Capitalising on a problem is much easier than creating one
But I think you already know that and are being disingenuous
Or, you’re stupid
