That is very true. However, there are other places where countries have been "liberated" and the country becomes way more stable than before.

Eg the former Yugoslavia. All (most?) of the states are thriving after independence. Note that Slobodan Milošević was ousted under Tony Blair's watch.

Also South Korea is doing OK.

Further back in time: many of the defeated countries after WW2 thrived such as Japan and Germany.

Re "further back in time"

Germany (and Europe) had the Marshall Plan, and Japan had the US backed Yoshida doctrine - in both cases, the plans had been formulated before the War was over.

Indeed. Both Germany and Japan were basically taken over and run by the allied forces. It was then a gradual process to stabilise the situation, allow various democratic systems to be set up and then slowly withdraw.

Imagine that on April 30th 1945, the allied forces had decided that ‘OK, Hitler is dead, we can go now’’, and simply left and left Germany to it. How do you think that would have worked out?

There were ‘boots on the ground’, as per the modern parlance, and that is something that the US tends to want to avoid for obvious reasons.

Dear Americans,

Better get the hell out of building we set on fire, oh, and we aren’t going to help you get out.

Screw you.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War
 
I'm no Trump fan except when he's crapping on Starmer! At today's press conference (with Merz of Germany), he said that the UK "had ruined relationships", that "it's not Churchill we are dealing with", "we are not happy with the UK".

He was particularly critical that the UK would not allow him to use Diego Garcia because of doubts as to legality of what the USA is doing.

Btw, he crapped even harder on Spain, instructing his Trade Secretary to stop all trade with Spain.

Back to Starmer - because our sovereign territory (Akrotiri Base) was directly attacked by Iran when we had not been involved in the initial attack on Iran, we now have the right under International Law to defend ourselves including by offensive means to take out the enemy's capabilities. The man is a cretin.

He has trashed the special relationship, he nevertheless is now putting UK military assets into play.

Jeez.


Hugh 03-03-2026 17:22

I think you may find that Trump’s definition of "the Special Relationship", and in fact, any relationship, is "Do what I want, when I want (even if I keep changing my mind), say "thank you" lots, and praise me to high heaven, even when I’ve treated you very badly".

An abusive relationship is not a Special Relationship…

The "special relationship" goes well beyond Trump. We should not jeopardise the big picture. The UK is a bust - we can't stand on our own.

A competent PM would be able to handle Trump and ride out his presidency.

It's not often I defend Starmer but he called this one right. Unlike the Conservatives and Reform, Starmer actually stood up for British sovereignty and not curtseying and taking orders from an untrustworthy overseas power. I can understand Farage's concerns with his tax exile funders wanting a bit of support now that Dubai et al have been attacked.

The war is with Arabs. But other than a pound note in their pocket they have just created a monster by keeping the peace. Iran wants Mecca. The region is doomed.

Trumps a curious one. He tells countries to pay up on defence then takes over from the rich Arabs. Huh are they paying up in other ways :confused:

Pete Hegseth (US Secretary of Fox News) has stood up and claimed an American submarine just became the first since world war 2 to torpedo a warship. I can’t help wondering how ‘facts’ like this get circulated - surely if someone imagined it might be true, they would have to go and check to make sure first? Otherwise by what basis would you imagine it was true? Annoyingly, this little candidate for Most Stupid Thing the Trump Admin Has Said Today (and let’s face it, it’s a crowded field) just gave handwringing Bowen the chance to remind everyone watching the 10 o’clock news how ‘controversial’ the BBC has always thought the sinking of the Belgrano was.

Mr Hegseth, the crew of HMS Conqueror would like a word.

"I have to be ​involved in the appointment, like with Delcy (Rodriguez) in Venezuela," Trump said.

Mojtaba Khamenei, son of ​Iran's late Supreme Leader, has survived ​the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran *in ⁠which his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, Iranian sources told Reuters on Wednesday.

A mid-ranking cleric with close ties ​to Iran's ​elite ⁠Revolutionary Guards, hardliner Mojtaba is one of the most ​influential figures in the Iranian ​clerical ⁠establishment and is seen as a possible successor to his father.

Indeed. It's funny how those on the right who criticise Blair for the UK's part in the Iraq War are keen to criticise those who didn't assist Trump in his illegal war on Iran. Party politics before patriotism. ;)

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2931933.html

Quote:

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has said President Donald Trump’s decision to attack Iran — which subsequently ignited a conflict that has sparked chaos across the Middle East — was grounded in what she called a “feeling based on fact” that Iran would imminently attack the United States and its allies.

“The president was not going to be just another president on a very long list who sat back and stood by and passed the buck of this direct threat to the next administration,” she said at a White House briefing when The Independent pressed her on the shifting explanations for the war offered by top administration officials since the weekend.

“The president had a feeling, again, based on fact, that Iran was going to strike the United States was going to strike our assets in the region, and he made a determination to launch Operation Epic Fury based on all of those reasons,” Leavitt added.
And so did Trump

Quote:

Trump himself contradicted that claim during a media availability with reporters Tuesday after he was asked if Israel had “forced his hand” with their own attack plans.

“Based on the way that the negotiations was going, I think that they were going to attack first. And I didn't want that to happen,” Trump said. “So if anything, I might have forced Israel's hand. But Israel was ready and we were ready.”

There may be a US constitutional question, i.e. legitimacy within US law; but there is no doubt that the USA was under threat and attack after the Israeli first strike which, in international terms, legitimises the USA action.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say


The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war, according to three officials familiar with the intelligence.

.The assistance, which has not been previously reported, signals that the rapidly expanding conflict now features one of America’s chief nuclear-armed competitors with exquisite intelligence capabilities.


Since the war began Saturday, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft, said the three officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.



"It does seem like it’s a pretty comprehensive effort,” one of the people said…

… Analysts said that the sharing of intelligence would fit the pattern of Iran’s strikes against U.S. forces, including command and control infrastructure, radars and temporary structures, like the one in Kuwait where six service members were killed.


The CIA’s station at the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital, also was struck in recent days.


Iran is “making very precise hits on early warning radars or over-the-horizon radars,” said Dara Massicot, an expert on the Russian military at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “They’re doing this in a very targeted way. They’re going after command and control,” she added.

Wake up. Iran had to be stopped in its quest to achieve nuclear capability which the would have used to obliterate Israel.

Were they under threat of attack, seemed like a long list of rationales were thrown at the wall before that one stuck, sounded the most sensible and resonated a bit more than nuclear bombs, regime change, ballistic missiles, being mean to donnie etc etc

Bibi has been banging on about Iran being on the brink of having a nuclear bomb for 30 years, in fact the only time frame he never used was 30 years away from a bomb, besides donnie told their nuclear programme was blown to smithereens last year, if you didnt believe him then, how can you believe him now.

Well, it worked before…

Quote:

President Trump made a bit of a historical blunder during his Fourth of July “Salute to America” speech Thursday when he said that the Continental Army “took over the airports” from the British during the American Revolutionary War in the 1770s.

During his hour-long speech at the grounds of Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., Trump stayed largely off politics.

Trump praised the Americans’ military efforts in the war against Great Britain. “Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory,” he said.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt offered an explanation of what Trump means by his unconditional surrender demand on Iran.

“When Trump, as Commander in Chief, determines that Iran no longer poses a threat to the US and the goals of Operation Epic Fury have been fully realized, then Iran will essentially be in a place of unconditional surrender, whether they say it themselves or not,” she explained.

Quote:

As the war entered its seventh day with intensifying strikes and retaliatory attacks across the region, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio informed Arab foreign ministers that the conflict is expected to continue for several more weeks, according to a report by Axios.

On Friday, the American news outlet Axios, citing sources with direct knowledge of the conversations, reported that Rubio conveyed the message during a series of phone calls with Arab foreign ministers on Thursday.

According to the sources, Rubio explained that the current military focus is on Iran’s missile launchers, stockpiles, and factories.

He also told the ministers that the United States’ goal is not regime change, while simultaneously making clear that Washington wants different people running the country, the sources said.

In both cases

I think they're already in trouble, the UAE has sent 30 times defending itself than it cost Iran to attack them, they are running out of weapons and so are other Arab states, hence donnie has demanded US arms manufacturers quadruple their output.

Those negotiations didn't matter much to Israel. They set the agenda on this special military operation and Trump complied. He was a little bit disappointed when Europe didn't do the same.

Quote:

Britain will mass-manufacture explosives for the first time in a generation as the government faces fresh calls to end its reliance on the US military.

The Ministry of Defence has earmarked at least 13 sites across the UK for potential munitions and “energetics” factories.

The Times understands they will produce high explosives, rocket propellants and ignition systems at scale for use on the front line.

John Healey, the defence secretary, will announce the plan to create an “always on” munitions pipeline in a speech in Westminster on Wednesday morning.

Details of the move were shared on the same day that parliament’s defence committee warned about the UK’s inability to defend itself from attack due to years of underinvestment in defence and its dependence on US firepower, hardware and intelligence.

The Middle East is learning the lesson Ukraine now knows well. Meanwhile Trump, who is genuinely just not very clever, hasn’t understood the economics of high-intensity missile defence and still thinks America can just finance and build unlimited Patriot interceptors to fix the problem he and his fellow idiots have caused.

I see el gov has placed an aircraft carrier on 5 days’ readiness, with absolutely definitely no inkling at all that this would be misunderstood (and misreported) by the media as ZOMG WE’RE SENDING AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER TO IRAN and conveniently kill off the questions from the press and public who were *finally* starting to realise what successive governments have been doing to the Royal Navy since the 1990s.

FWIW HMS Prince of Wales was already on 14 days’ notice and was already being prepared for deployment because of a forthcoming NATO exercise. And there’s scant chance of us having any reason to send a floating airbase to the eastern Mediterranean anyway, what with us owning a massive land-based one on an island out that way called Cyprus.

It’s also functionally impossible for us to deploy an aircraft carrier outside of a NATO exercise or operation with the RN in its current state thanks to the RN having insufficient ships to escort it. So no, HMS PoW is not going anywhere near a combat zone unless Starmer can persuade allies its in their interests to go along with it.
