The headlines should be: Iran inflicts a strategic defeat on the USA over the Strait of Hormuz.
Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 2h agoThis would amount to a complete capitulation from the US. Literally no way to even attempt to spin this as a win.

Two of the biggest pricks ever known get together. In case Americans are unaware, Red Ed Milliband is a Marxist, like his boss Burnham & as thick as two short planks. Proven here by asking Likkle Marco Rubio to re-open the Strait of Hormuz, that Trump said was open, but Iran controls it not the USA.

Trump's game on Ukraine is not hard to figure out, what Putin wants Putin gets from his Washington poodle.
Ann A@asburand3.bsky.social · 4h agoI believe this is exactly what Trump is about. Trump has always wanted Putin to win and to carve up Ukraine between the two dictators, as if Ukraine were not an independent nation. I loathe and despise Donald Trump. I am so sorry that a sizable portion of U.S. electorate is profoundly stupid
Rutte is a coward & a lickspittle, he must resign. He's failed to protect NATO states, he's failed to sufficiently help Ukraine. He's failed to stand up to Putin. He's the SecGen of a failed & useless organisation, NATO. Get rid of the clown!
Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 5h agoHow? By calling “daddy” and reminding him that he has promises to keep.
Well when it comes to Trump & Iran we've had Schrödinger's war, which is a war but isn't a war, Schrödinger's cease fire which is a cease fire but firing doesn't cease, Schrödinger's Strait of Hormuz, which is simultaneously open & closed & now Schrödinger's stockpiles, depleted but not depleted.
Elf M. Sternberg@elfsternberg.bsky.social · 5h ago"Our stockpiles are depleted because of Biden. But they're not depleted. The people saying they're depleted need to be found and put in jail." - US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz www.reuters.com/world/us-has...
Putin fires commanders after failures in Ukraine. Since Trump copies pretty much everything his Kremlin hero does then does this mean Piss Head Pete Hegseth's days are numbered after his failures in Iran?
rogue_corq@corq.bsky.social · 6h agoIt doesn't matter how anyone tries to dress this up or spin it, leaving Iran in charge of the Strait of Hormuz, it's nuclear programme intact, its nuclear material under its control, its ballistic missile capability in place is 100% a strategic defeat for the USA, worse even than Vietnam.
Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social · 9h agoas noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.
Amazingly Trump has managed to lose two wars in less than two years. First the USA surrendered to Russia when it indicated it wouldn't provide military side to Ukraine any longer & now it's surrendered to Iran, who won't even negotiate with them about the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's a total loser.
Well it's exactly what he did in Ukraine, took Crimea & waited to see the reaction from the west, when the cowards did nothing, he then took some more, still the cowards did nothing so from Putin's perspective why not go for a greater Kaliningrad? 100% nailed on the yanks will leg it under Trump.
Robert@ewile.bsky.social · 6h agoPutin has threatened to invade a corner of Poland and then hold it hostage in exchange for Ukraine. Basically willing to risk WWIII with NATO because he's in a stalemate. And doesn't think the US will join in.
Cowardly Europeans will find lots of excuses to do nothing other than produce more hot air. When the full blown war reaches them and their towns and cities become like those in Ukraine maybe then they'll get it, then again maybe not, but by then it will be too late anyway.
AmplifyUkraine 🔱🇺🇦@amplifyukraine.eu · 6h agoThe Leipzig drone bomb marks a dangerous escalation for Europe #Ukraine
Contrast what the DPRK do, i.e. send tens of thousands of troops & ballistic missiles to attack Ukraine with what Europeans do, just talk about daft peace keeping forces but only if Putin allows it. How did Europe become so weak & cowardly? It's an open invite for Putin to carry right on to Paris.
Maria Drutska@mariadrutska.bsky.social · 6h agoNorth Korea started deploying a missile unit of around 90 personnel to Russia. Pyongyang is expected to transfer 120 KN-23/KN-24 ballistic missiles and 6 launchers. A new batch of 40 missiles was already delivered, while the final scale and configuration of the deployment will be agreed later.
They can't possibly be referring to Vlad's buddy Trump can they, that guy that hardly knew Epstein, betrayed Ukraine then started a war with Iran and lost?
Peace@dogsmile.bsky.social · 22h ago
Yes but the Mancunian Marxist Burnham found a way around that and subverted democracy by rigging a by election in Makerfield so that he could get installed in a left wing coup.

And of course they could 'accidentality' hit Poland, Romania, The Baltics etc, likely will. 120 Ballistic missiles & that's just the DPRK Unit hitting civilian targets in Ukraine, in Europe, while NATO & so EU 'leaders' waffle. The cowardice of Europeans makes them the next targets at some point.
godofindifference.bsky.social@godofindifference.bsky.social · 11h ago“North Korean Missile Unit Moves Into Russia—120 Ballistic Missiles Could Soon Target Ukraine”
This is lunacy, is this true? Trump is such an abject moron that he's allowing Iran to control a vital international shipping lane and has been reduced to a bit actor trying to negotiate a discount? If so this is a bigger strategic defeat for the USA than Vietnam, no matter how the moron spins it.
John Collins@logicallyjc.bsky.social · 12h agoWhat was the rate before he started the war? Just curious.
Yes it's exactly what Trump wants, because quite simply what Putin wants, which is Ukraine, is what Trump wants, they are two sides of the same shitty coin.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 13h agoThe reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.
Well Russia is at war with Europe inside & outside of Ukraine with drones, missiles, air incursions, sabotage, murders, cyber attacks etc. but Europe is too cowardly to deal with it for fear of escalation, meanwhile Putin (& the DPRK now) escalate anyway.
Cambridge for Europe@cambsforeurope.bsky.social · 12h agoEurope outside Ukraine may not technically be at war, but we need to start mobilising our societies as if we are, and that includes making sure that no-one is left behind. If we don't, the future is bleak. (6/6)
French President Macron: In Kyiv and its region, Russia has once again chosen to target civilians. This policy of terror, carried out with missiles and drones, is unacceptable. Yes Mini Macron but like Merz, Starmer (I & II) & the rest you just waffle about Ukraine but are too cowardly for action.
The hypocrisy of the Leftards in the UK. The UK has the highest taxes on oil companies anywhere in the world, so much so that they are pulling out of the UK. But no, due to Putin & Trump's war (*not the fault of the oil companies) the idiots claim they 'are cashing in on human misery'.

Exposes the cowardice of the west yet again. The DPRK send tens of thousands of troops, plus ballistic missiles to wipe out Ukraine, meanwhile the Coalition of the Waffling are too weak & cowardly to send any troops at all unless Putin agrees they can, which of course he never will. Total farce.

Completely & utterly the wrong approach, sending money to pay for the destruction is not going to stop the terrorist state of Russia destroying more stuff. Europe needs to stop Russia destroying Ukraine, whatever it takes, not hide, make speeches & send them money. It's a proven failed strategy.

Delusional, just another gimmick by the Mancunian Marxist Burnham to make it look like he's doing something. He'll get nowhere with this, Trump is already withholding and/or redacting the Epstein files against the wishes of the US Congress so a few daft Brits aren't going to get anywhere.
Andy Gabriel-Powell@andygabrielpowell.bsky.social · 15h agoAre you watching to learn how it's done, America? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Trump: The Strait of Hormuz may open today or tomorrow, Thursday. The oaf told us the Strait of Hormuz was already open and ships were transiting it under the watchful eye of the US Navy. Now he's admitting that it's only open when Iran tells him it's open. The oaf's a total loser and a tosser.
I thought at least the Mancunian Marxist might have more political acumen than Two Tier Keir Starmer but no, he's still letting illegal migrants in & murderers out. Prisons will be safer with them out, the streets won't. The Burnham Bounce is well & truly over. metro.co.uk/2026/08/04/t...
