The US is now the biggest terrorist state.


You're on fire tonight, Greggery. Just think, twenty years of stool.

You'd probably be gasping a bit yourself, dear.

Right, so you support your DL going in, declaring victory, leaving and giving Iran the Strait of Hormuz, do you?



You really are reaching aren't you. So many mistakes so many times.Actually all lies from you. Roll Eyes



Not at all, it's a question. There's no need to get defensive, dear.

Now, do you, Lee, support your DL's invasion?

You have one of two possible answers. Over to you.


lee seems to have gone missing.

Perhaps he's consulting a book on semantics.



No - he has memorised all publications on that topic.

Tell us all why you refuse to say why you support this invasion.



You still don't understand. Invasion is boots on the ground. Air space invasion - like the Russians have done over Poland etc is not an invasion. If you thought so surely you would have protested against Russia. To not do so would be hypocritical. Wink

Being an ex-serviceman I don't support war as a kneejerk reaction. However, Iran has been funding terrorism for decades now, and there is only one way to stop that. The UN hasn't tried at all.


And now the UN has finally tried and failed.


So you support your DL absolutely. Why did you try to stall to uncover that little revelation?

As an ex-serviceman (in the bush fire brigade), one would have thought you'd have more respect for intelligence and integrity. People tell lies, and you get fried.

Iran will now be paid to fund more terrorism. Their oil sanctions are now lifted, and they're about to get a toll on every ship that passes through the Strait.

Your DL is about to send over actual palates of cash in reparations, unlike Obama, who just lifted sanctions on their citizens' foreign bank accounts.

Not at all, dear boy, it's about coming clean. The truth shall set you free, no?

In your case, we know. Yes, you moaned away about endless wars with all the rest. You played America First. You even quoted Zizek.

But all along, we knew. Deep down, you're just a naughty old carpet bomber, aren't you? The tinted races are to be blown back to the stone age, you said. When we reminded you of this, you got ever so toosh, but we held firm.

Not at all, dear chap, we said. How do we know? You said.

Now it's happening, and there you are, always absolutely never ever. You'll support the double-taps on bridges, the bombing of university campuses, even girls' schools. You support it all and always have.

Lee, on the other hand, is far more cunning. He likes to play gotcha. Oh? He says, so where did I say that? Quote me.

Lee preens away, pretending he's not revealing his hand, but we know. You know it too. If Lee wanted to differ with your jaundiced view, he'd say. How very dare the biggest military in the world attack university students and schoolgirls? He'd say. It's not cricket.

But he won't, so we know.

Quote me.

It would be good, if it were actually true. But the reality is the opposite. Iran isn't being crippled, it's adapting, extracting tolls through the Strait and strengthening alternative trade flows away from the US dollar. Once again, the outcomes are the reverse of what you were promised.

Your problem, Frank, is the same as it's always been, pride. You were sold a version of reality that isn't holding up, and instead of adjusting, you're doubling down to avoid admitting you were wrong. Some of the MAGA base have already figured that out and moved on, others are still looking for someone else to blame.

Meanwhile, the real-world indicators don't lie. Cost of living is up, economic pressure is rising, and the people who were told they'd benefit are the ones most exposed. You can ignore that if you want, but refusing to face reality doesn't just protect your ego, it stops you adapting, and that's where the real damage gets done.  You're lucky you're not in the US, because those MAGA supporters who refuse to adapt will be those who lose everything.

And for some, that refusal goes further. When people build their identity around being right, and reality strips that away, the fallout can get ugly. They lash out, or collapse inward, because admitting they were lied to feels worse than the consequences. That's where this path leads if you keep choosing denial over reality.

Just so, but for all the old boy's preening, hissing and booing about groceries, he is, and always has been, a jolly old Armageddonist.

Everything else is just mindless, tit for tat rhetoric. The old boy would rather see the Western world collapse than have a little brown girl in as prez. Any demented old retard will do.

Only he.

To think, if the US had voted in Harris, right now the left would be complaining about the Republicans she included in the bipartisan teams for the structural reform she's making and the right would be complaining about weed being removed as a controlled substance, all during their lunch breaks while they get in with their lives.

Life in the US could have been normal, not filled with dread about ICE murdering you in the street for excercising your 2nd amendment right, while you wait in line to get fuel you can't afford, so you can drive to a food bank because groceries are too expensive in between the two jobs you have to have because you are in fact being taxes on tips and overtime, if AI hasn't replaced you yet or the company you work for had gone out of business because of the tariffs they've had to pay but couldn't pass on to the consumer, while you base tax rate was increased and now through all of that you may have to spend more time and money getting a passport or other forms of ID just to be able to cast a vote that you'd already proved all of that information to when you registered to vote, which you now have to do in person because only the President is allowed to vote by mail, IF he allows the midterms to go ahead at all.

Instead of that, it could have been normal.

So according to you if Trump is got rid of, before his deadline, we are globally screwed.

A TIMELINE OF TRUMP "DEFEATING" IRAN:
Mar 3: "We won the war."
Mar 7: "We defeated Iran."
Mar 9: "We must attack Iran."
Mar 9: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully."
Mar 11: “You never like to say too ⁠early you won. We won. In ​the first hour it was over.”
Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet."
Mar 13: "We won the war."
Mar 14: "Please help us."
Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it."
Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all."
Mar 16: "I was just testing to see who's listening to me."
Mar 16: "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad."
Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help."
Mar 17: "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO."
Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz."
Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip - step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz."
Mar 20: "NATO are cowards."
Mar 21: "The Strait of Hormuz must be protected by the countries that use it. We don't use it, we don't need to open it."
Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours. Open the strait"
Mar 22: "Iran is Dead"
Mar 23: "We had very good and productive talks with Iran."
Mar 24: "We’re making progress."
Mar 25: “They gave us a present and the present arrived today. And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.”
Mar 26: "Make a deal, or we’ll just keep blowing them away."
Mar 27: "We don’t have to be there for NATO."
Mar 29: “talks were progressing”
Mar 30: "Open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, or face devastating consequences."
Mar 31: Claimed a deal was "very close" and that Iran would "do the right thing"
Apr 1: "We’ll see what happens very soon."
Apr 2: Repeated that a deal was likely, while warning of continued strikes if not
Apr 3: "Something big is going to happen."
Apr 4: Said Iran must comply "immediately" or face further consequences.
Apr 5: "Open the f*ckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah."

This is a leader who treats war like a reality TV show, declaring victory one day, demanding obedience the next, and oscillating between begging for help and deriding allies, all while the conflict rages on. His messaging is chaotic, performative, and self-serving, prioritising ego signalling over strategy, consistency, or reality. By alternating between threats, braggadocio, and cryptic posturing, he undermines both domestic credibility and international trust, turning diplomacy into a theatre of absurdity. Every statement escalates risk, confuses allies, and invites miscalculation, leaving the world to wonder if the supposed “victories” are anything more than a narcissist’s daily improvisation, dangerously detached from the facts on the ground.

25th Amendment, or one of the White House chefs giving him a special coke.

That's the best we can hope for.

So Amrikkka is, in turn, a Chinese agent, a Russian agent, a Persian agent.
Whatever Amrikkka does or doesnt do, it will be contrary to Amrikkka's real interests.

Ta. That was easy.
Next week we will learn how to play the flute while performing brain surgery. Pip pip, toot toot!

JD's balls are in his wife's coin purse, and he wasn't born with a spine, so I don't think the 25th is gonna happen.

A special coke?  Hmm, maybe   Undecided
