If anyone weighs the same as a duck, it’s Netanyahu.

They should all turn round and give them the old brown-eye.

Turnout is down by at least 10 million from 2020.

A left that isn’t popular with the lower classes is doing something wrong

There are always lumpen elements that are too bought-in to serving the ruling class to be capable of class consciousness, and the US system has made sure that they have proliferated.

First and foremost, I blame the racist shits who voted for Trump.

It hasn’t been a cold war in Ukraine.

Taking a broader perspective, social media and those who manipulate it played a huge role in Trump’s win. And Lemmy’s part of that, like it or not.

Yeah, they’re gloating now. But who knows, maybe Trump will backstab Putin like he backstabs everyone else. Though it’s unlikely, since he seems to cower whenever he’s near his Daddy Vladdy.

Badenoch is such an arrogant lightweight. Even someone as experienced at toadying as Kuenssberg must find it difficult sucking up to her.

Supporting Thatcher didn’t make the Tory membership suddenly stop being sexist, and choosing Badenoch isn’t going to stop them being racist. In both cases “except her, she’s one of the good ones” is all they need to say.

Nobody with a functioning brain thinks Russian army is beat to hell.

I have heard Western military people say this, in person. It doesn’t mean Russia is not still a threat, but their capabilities have been degraded during the two years of the “easy 2-week war.”

If they’re doing so well, why haven’t they been able to defeat a country with a population a tenth that of Russia?

Even more, if they’re expected to engage in another sustained campaign, who’s going to be fighting it? They can barely keep their conscription pipeline full now. Who’s going to sign up to sacrifice themselves in Meat Grinder round 2?

Like the Russian Baltic fleet has been battle-hardened by its contact with the ocean floor.

Iran and Israel are held to entirely different standards.

By body count, there’s no comparison.

I will, however, add an obligatory Fuck the Mullahs-- the Iranian people deserve much better than that.

Trump loves a large-scale crime against humanity.

The Israelis are unlikely to enter a full-scale war with Iran. They’ll instead try to get the US to commit war crimes on their behalf.

Israel is a vassel of the US

Then why does it ignore pressure from the US? I think that the relationship is more that of a not entirely trustworthy ally.

Lib Dem’s back in clegg days when I voted for them were always more left than Labour.

And yet they went into coalition with the Tories.

as the Administration refuses to level with Congress

Any plan, classified or not, shared with the Republicans will be in Putin’s sight within seconds.

Yeah, so it’s the west that’s been bombing, shooting and raping civilians in Ukraine? How could I have not noticed that before?

And you are not my friend.

A peace deal proposed by arms suppliers to one of the parties in the conflict just might be a bit one-sided, don’t you think?
