Don't mean to sound dumb and I might with this tweet but how can politicians go from niche specialist areas to other specialist areas with supposed little domain-specific training – non-specific example but a health sec can become an education etc
john healey - a man who resigned as defence secretary in a tantrum because he wasn’t allowed more money for bombs - being made chancellor is a huge red flag from burnham.
A months-long Sky News investigation into the US double-tap strike on a Minab girls' school found the Pentagon had tracked the site by satellite since 1987 and could still count children's shadows in the courtyard before firing anyway.
What the evidence shows:
Three Tomahawk missiles fired from the USS Spruance, 716 kilometers away in the Arabian Sea, hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab on Feb 28, the opening day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Witnesses described a second strike hitting the exact spot where a teacher had moved surviving students for shelter, killing nearly everyone who had taken cover there. A third strike followed on the same site. Death tolls range from 156 to over 170, most of them girls aged seven to twelve. The school had been walled off from the adjacent IRGC naval base since at least 2015, had its own website, and was geolocatable through open-source materials any analyst could have pulled in minutes.
Built to fail:
The Pentagon's own machinery for preventing exactly this outcome had already been dismantled. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slashed the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence workforce by roughly 90 percent and cut CENTCOM's civilian casualty assessment team from ten people to one, months before the war started. A May Pentagon Inspector General report found the office had become a shell on paper with no budget, no mandate, no real mission. A functioning warning system was defunded on purpose, then blamed for not warning anyone.
Accountability buried:
Four months on, CENTCOM's commander told reporters the investigation was near complete, yet nothing has been released. Asked in June whether anyone would face consequences, Trump called it a strange question, adding that mistakes are made and war is nasty. The mistake was choosing not to fund the office that exists to catch mistakes like this one.
My take: A military that surveilled a schoolyard for four decades didn't fail to see the children, it decided in advance that seeing them wouldn't change the targeting. Nobody in this chain lacked information.
The hate Argentina got this tournament made me realize how easy it is to brainwash and program people. Would love to see someone publish work on this some day as it’s a very interesting case study.
What do the World Cup and Second World War have in common?
When it finished, the losers flew to Argentina.
I know I should be better than this but on reflection I’m not.
@Alonso_GD Don't do this again to me. I am not your content . But I am also tired of people who want to say just because left leaning people live in a fascist country it means the country is okay actually
You are degrading yourself more and more these days
🇦🇷 Argentine newspaper Clarin: 'As never before, the Argentine team displayed, both on and off the field, a range of values that are rare these days. From the pitch and beyond, they gave several lessons and showed the face of a country that we would like to see away from the football pitch.
'A team that was polite and respectful, despite a few unfortunate isolated incidents in the last match; that didn't speak ill of its rivals or try to justify its own mistakes by blaming others.'
Lo siento, no aguanto a Shakira Mebarak haciendo de danzadora de vientre libanesa después de su silencio sobre la destrucción del país de su antepasados.
@Alonso_GD this is really anti human rights coming from you as well.
those people came from scotland 200 + years ago and the islands were empty of anyone.
you are saying by default all argentinians should leave argentina
the people there chose
for every person who says falklands belongs to a south american country...would they ask all the people who voted to be british to leave?
nobody seems to get it's like asking all non native south americans to leave their own country
This is disgusting,500 people feared dead, over 1000 laughing emojis and 1.6K Likes and 1.9K comments, mostly vile mostly from right leaning people, probably the same ones crying last week if anybody said anything derogatory about Anne Widecombe
