The Iran war resulted from: Trump's personal belligerence and his need to wield American military might to satisfy his inner potentate; Rubio's neocon hawkishness; Hegseth's toxic masculinity — with the hard-right Israeli PM providing the crucial catalyst.

Let us be clear here.

Keir #Starmer is no more left wing than Nigel #Farage is. In fact Farage and Starmer have much in common. Both shill for a foreign potentate (those Starmer has yet to openly betray Britain) Both take foreign money. Both hate free speech.
