It is ridiculous that from spring 2027 the army will increase the age for ex soldiers for recall to 65 !!!!! Shows the sorry state the army is in now as the government knows that they will have difficulty getting young blood for the front lines without National service. I can't see them sending anyone over 50 to the front line of any battle field. I wouldn't want to go now at 40 although I feel it is coming, I doubt many are as fit as me at my age so it will be interesting to see how we fair up in the event of recall. Dads army may be the reality of the British army as desperate times are not far away.

Trump has had a grudge against Iran ever since the Tehran hostage crisis and other events which he considered a humiliation of USA.

I doubt he remembers anything that clearly. He recently confused Iceland with Greenland.
He was convinced that other nations' NATO troops "stayed a little back" in the sandy places, so knows nothing about Sangin.

I think you can mark this one down as a persuasion success for the Israel lobby.

Israel has a good reason for attacking Iran, Trump has no reason other than they deserve it.

Long term , when the world realises it has to move away from oil , Isreal might also regret it. That said war is hi tech now so pretty one sided.

All Trumps rantings about 48hr deadlines or about the war being already won, are nonsense.
Hegseth has asked Congress for 200billion dollars, that means the war is going escalate and go on for a very long time unless the Iranian government capitulates and surrenders, that scenario doesn't seem likely at the moment.

He puts stuff out on his 'Truth' Social threatening this that the other, then to varying degrees it doesn't happen. Conversely, he advised the Iranian people to rise up and that help was on the way. What? x weeks later? I reckon those statements likely led to 100s (1000s?) more getting killed.

As for the $200 billion, I know it's not the way money works (i.e. it's not one big pot), nevertheless it does beg the question, what the feck is it all about? Think what good the $200 billion could do.

We'll never learn.

Best if the world just implodes and takes us all out.
