Maybe you should take a lesson from what's happened in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and Libya before you start brainlessly warbling on about the Green party.

It's funny how the same people that hate immigrants from war-torn countries turning up here, are now in such a rush to cheer on another illegal war elsewhere.

The fucking pretence that Trump and Israel are doing this for the benefit of the oppressed Iranians is for the birds, anyone who believes that should probably avoid bridge related purchases for a while.

Let’s be honest - if we are about supporting a regime change for the benefit of persecuted populations, No.1 on the list should be Israel and the wiping out of Netanyahu.
He also said ‘what if they bring in anti Semitism’. Criticising Israel is anti Semitic now is it?

This could end badly for Trump. Elected on ‘America first’ campaign, Straight of Hormuz apparently affectively closed for now which will push up oil/energy and in turn inflation in US. All before mid terms later this year

He'll lose the midterms heavily anyway, but yeah this certainly isn't going to help.

Haven't you said countless times about how you don't give a fuck about what's going on in Gaza?

I hardly think Palestine will threaten my pension through instability or airport security for any holidays I take

But Trump will threaten your pension, he already has, but you're fine with him.

He hasn’t - growths been pretty steady - even if it wasn’t I can’t do much about him. I didn’t elect him.

We’re talking about in the short term, you can’t just start extracting oil in time to keep prices low prior for the midterms

Why are you bothering?

It's got one of the largest reserves in the world, it'll help quite a bit.

He hasn't got his hands on it yet, as I understand it. No U.S. company is willing to go back into Venezuela currently.

It's almost as though rational actors like big businesses don't trust someone as crazy and impulsive as Trump, at his word.

Compared to Iran, Trump's coup d'etat in Venezuela is straightforward, and that's nowhere near resolved. Iran will be a bloody mess for a long time yet.

‘Just rise up and overthrow the regime’ the Iranians are told. That will lead from anything from bloody reprisals to a civil war.

There is no obvious successor regime to this one. A puppet government will go the way of similar entities in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s not like we don’t have recent historical lessons to learn from either.
