 | Forum Reply | Starmer’s judgemen at 09:29 24 Jun 2025
Given Starmer's barrister/legal training, he's doing exactly what i'd expect him to. Balancing attack and defence at the right time and knowing when there is no point arguing over smaller points. But that 'concession' is actually setting up a bigger 'win' further down the line. Trump is so unpredictable (and a liar), it must be almost impossible to manage him. What he says 60 seconds ago can change and then he'll say it never changed too. Starmer has dealt with him well imo, but will be hating every moment of having to deal with such an unethical and morally repugnant adversary. The way his dealings are portrayed in the media are very different to the reality of within the civil service and Government departments. It's not what matters to the public though, which is a problem Starmer needs to address. |

Yeah, ceasefire is the usual Israeli type right now. Still attacking Iran and telling their own citizens to shelter in place due to potential retaliation. |

Ceasefire agreed apparently. He’ll claim full credit of course and demand that Nobel Peace Prize (again) Of course, this is Israel agreeing a ceasefire… |

‘Normal’ leaders would now say “you’ve both had your turn” now lets deescalate. However a 4 year old is in charge in the USA and just last week he said he didn’t care what the intelligence community said, he would act upon his instinct. |

Media are saying the US was pre-warned, but that won’t matter to Trump. He will want to strike back again. Once he’s stopped calling people names that is |

Clearly, replacing Khamenei would be a welcome result. It's just not a coincidence that Trump calling for "MIGA" yesterday is followed by the main opposition leader's very public call for change. |

I think as was covered in the thread above to some degree and it was never likely to have been. Iranians had been talking of moving the Uranium out of those sites for nearly 3 weeks and there are even satellite images of a stream of trucks leaving as late as end of last week. No-one wins, everyone is lying to whichever audience they need to 'impress' So, Trump may very well have bombed some now empty warehouses/labs, but that's it. Israel's assassination of the scientists behind the programme is more important as a delaying tactic I'd say. For context Israel's child-killer in chief has been saying Iran has been "weeks away" from having a nuclear weapon since 2011. All feels a bit WMD Iraq doesn't it? [Post edited 23 Jun 13:21]

Trump’s other issue, not that he’ll care is he has broken the law to bomb Iran. Both international law and US domestic law which mandates Congress is the only place that can approve this, not the Presidency by itself |

Trump saying sites were obliterated, Iran saying they weren’t. More important is IAEA saying no spikes in radiation which you’d expect with the extensive damage Trump is saying has happened. Also the other line from Iran is they said they moved all their Uranium weeks ago. Someone lying and it is probably both of them to some degree. |

He’s also selling devices, made in the USA. This sprang to mind [Post edited 16 Jun 22:09]
