The kingdom is modelling its framework on the 1975 Helsinki Accords, which sought to reduce tensions between the US, Europe and Soviet Union

    This is Saudi Arabia signalling what is effectively surrender to Iran.

    The only nations not certain that the illegal and offensive war against Iran is lost is the perpetrators. Israel, the US, the UAE and for some reason the UK on and off.

    The US will lose all allies except stupid fucking Israel before they finally capitulate and end this moronic offensive war.

      Not to hijack this or go off topic but that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

      The UK government is insane. And I mean that literally and as a Canadian born firmer immigrant and current British citizen feel very uniquely placed to say with some authority.

      It makes no sense. And the actions of Starmer and the labour government have no real clear reasonable explanation. If Starmer were a paid plant, a Manchurian candidate, he could not be doing a better job of non violently surrendering Britain to the far right. But to be genuinely clear, I TRULY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT.

      I do believe Starmer has a spine cast in a jello mould and all the personality and charm and charisma of a wet towel, he’s a useful idiot to some powers that be somewhere. And he somehow honest to goodness believes his own shit and he’s a working class hero out there fighting for us with his fancy lawyer degree

      Somehow since a historic great majority victory for this man’s labour government after 15 years of Tory rule we roundly said no more to austerity and cuts and hospitals crammed with beds in the halls and blah and on and on, and the labour government immediately begins is move rightward, to “consolidate the voter base” and Bering the. Iuntey together of course.

      Now we’re here today. Keir starmers thacherlite government, thatcheism with a smile and a you go get em lad (soz we can’t fix your polio just now)

      How did we get here
