Tehran denying any talks have taken place with the US ... one of them is a big fat fibber ... <laugh>

Trump is now on his climb down

Thankfully

He’ll spin it as a victory of course

Funny that Iran have denied that he held talks with them

It's all so obfuscated.

Meanwhile no one even knows if the supposed new Ayatollah is even alive as he hasn't been seen in public and all of his 'statements' are written out for others to read.
 
Iran parliament have dismmised all claims by Trump re discussions, it's all been done by Trump to manipulate the oil markets, because he knows he's ****ed up. He's certainly being made to look incredibly weak, suppose it's a lesson there for the UK and the rest of Europe, learn to stand up to a bully.

As I mentioned. It's classic disaster capitalism

Jacob Rees Mogg's father wrote the bible on this issue 'Blood in the streets, investment profits in a world gone mad'

It's literally a manual to make money out of other people's misery

We've allowed these people to control our markets and economies and in turn they have got control of our politicians.

I met a British guy who was in a Japanese prisoner of war camp, I'm pretty sure he would have been calling them something a lot stronger than 'Japs' back in 1945 - he despised them for the rest of his entire life.

I'm not uderstanding her Japanese example is what I'm saying.

It's much like my father not liking that I had a German friend, that's what World War brings hatred of the population of certain countries.

Not sure that's right blaming that on the Americans, considering they did attack Pearl (Harbor) Harbour to gain pre emptive advantage.

Oh and while on about the 'Japs' -
  • Persecution (China & Burma): In occupied China, Japanese forces destroyed around 220 mosques by 1941, killed thousands of Hui Muslims, and engaged in "killing policies," sometimes desecrating mosques with pork fat. Similarly, Japanese forces brutally mistreated Rohingya Muslims in Burma.

Trump was wrong to bring up Pearl (Harbor) Harbour in his recent meeting. I've always felt it was wrong that the Americans dropped the atom bomb on the Japanese, not once but twice - some ppl on here have disagreed with me on that view over the years, that's their view and I accept it for that.

History is written by the victor - remember being taught at school that the A bombs ended the war and saved more lives as a result - as I grew up, and started to question things, soon realised that this was complete and utter bullshit - Japan was isolated and vulnerable - the first 'bombs of peace' were more a statement of US military might and posturing as a new world order took shape ... plus a bit of payback for having their pants well and truly pulled down at Pearl Harbour...

I saw the Enola Gay when I was in Washington many decades ago, it was an eerily feeling seeing it and knowing what it had brought about.

It didn't bring about chatter in me, just silence, quiet thoughts to reflect on the evil side of human nature. I think at the time it was being moved about various locations, and it just coincided with my trip at the time.

One of two thought provoking sights in my lifetime, the other being the Lorraine Motel which had been turned into a Civil rights museum and Jesse Jackson (rip) visited while I was in the place.

When I was young I don't remember all this nonsense over attacking people's beliefs. Yes I heard Catholics mentioned a few times, certainly not enough times to be counted on one hand, never ever Muslims. Yes I remember the IRA, but I would because of the Maidstone pub bomb and Deal Barracks attack. But that was it, don't know where all this other nonsense has come from, even hating Jews was something confined to WW2 films and portrayal of the Nazis'.

Think not606 has a lot to answer for, it's like an unrealistic bubble or maybe I was just sheltered from it all in the Garden of England. <whistle>

The clue is in the name not606, like Not the Nine O'Clock News

The GIF was not in your original post or the Garden of England

The truth is out there, somewhere, maybe
