I posed this question the other day, but do you see the Pahlavi family having any role to play? The Persians I know have very black or white feelings about them. If you know people who belong/belonged to the wealthiest part of the society, they will sing the praises of the Pahlavi, their support of...

Well that is one theory. How about we all look in the mirror and congratulate ourselves on decades of appeasement which allowed it to get to this point.

I'm reasonably confident at this point that if Iran don't surrender they will get bombed by the US. And despite their threats to suggest otherwise, they wouldn't have any means to counter it or attack American bases. So do the Iranian leaders try and protect their people or continue fighting a war ...

And you know this was always their intention and they have never been honest about it with the IAEA. Blame the orange one if it lets you sleep better.

This slavish public "fellating" of Trump by what seems like nearly everyone in his administration is something. They have all learnt to not be too specific as well, lest the message from Trump changes overnight based on his "vibes".

Next up, big hats and notebooks.

$47.45 a month. I bet Skia has signed up already.

The Trump name has been "whored" out by this stage. If only there was a precedent to how past Trump branding efforts have gone.

Rubbish. The vast majority of people in Israel today are not 'indigenous' to the area.
Some of them do and they have every right to live there.
All Palestinians do.

Hoping for a Chiefs win. Saders are a hard watch this year.

Mr. Malhuret, 75, a retired physician and a right-leaning centrist, was the mayor of Vichy for 28 years until 2017. The town in central France is a symbol of the country’s wartime ignominy.

The disturbances in LA are definitely not as benign as some on here make them out to be. Nor are they as bad as others say they are. Truth lies somewhere in the middle as per. Yes, but warranting the federalizing of the Cali National Guard and bringing in Marines for *checks notes* crowd control?

I see that Kim Jung Don has organised a military parade this weekend to celebrate his birthday. The ego has truly landed. The other axis of evil leaders are all group-chatting him: “call yourself a leader? Where’s your parade??!!” I will be using Kim Jung Don, moving forward. No love for "Dotard"?
