Replying To TheFlaker:  "So America admit there was no strike planned by Iran and they acted because Israel were launching an attack on Iran."
Yeah, they do what the boss tells them to do.

You couldn't make it up. The whole region is unstable now. Oil prices will skyrocket. Take a look at what the secretary of defence said yesterday….absolutely unbelievable and disgraceful.

Only time i've ever agreed with you!

Trump was elected in 2016 on promise to stop following Bush, Clinton, Obama into these stupid adventures.

This one potentially the worst of all.

You and I don't often agree either Barney, but I agree that this one has the potential to bring the world to its knees

It seems as if POTUS is making up his narrative to reflect the train of events. Reactive in that he is trying to turn everything so that he looks good. He just contradicted Rubio on the initial sequencing of the commencement of hostilities. He now says that he influenced Israel to get stuck in. Rubio painstakingly laid out a different version last night. That one didn't suit POTUS as it took the "limelight" away from him. It's important to spin it so that it looks as you are in charge, even if it's obvious you aren't.

It's like an episode of South Park. Latest this evening sees Trump making fun of Starmer (who I'm
No fan of but you can't have one leader mocking an ally).

Starmer should fire back…"I may be no Churchill but your ain't no Obama"
