@balogun @KingJames People are unfair and foolish. The bad politics and the scandal is nothing to do with you. Of course you took the field, it’s your profession and you’re good at it. I feel for you on a personal level regardless of the poor judgement of your President and FIFA.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@JonnyRoot_ Maybe you’re infantile , corrupt ,paedofile can overturn the result. Worth a shot no ?

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@HeidiBriones It did.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@USMNT Good. Too tainted by FIFA and Trumps corruption now.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

Justice has been served. The WC is better off.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

I am hoping that Belgium can knock out the cheating #USA and give a black eye to the corrupt #FIFA . #Redcards are not rescinded. This is #Trump & #Infantino corruption manifesting on a global stage. The world is Belgian today. #FIFAcorrupt

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@UEFA I personally hope ( like everyone else outside the US ) that Belgian destroys the US side. In the past I have supported the US as a new soccer nation but not anymore. No tears will fall at their exit.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@UEFA Americans posting their views that FIFA got it right are the entitled version of the US the world loathes.
You can’t go around breaking rules on a global stage and expect to be respected. Not with unauthorised wars, not with threatening allies and not with cheating at the WC.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@TheLastSquatch @BamaSaltyMarine And those responses to your post are why everyone knows they are members of a cult. It makes zero difference what their leader does or is. Not a jot.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@OccupyDemocrats The US has done nothing but start wars and leave messes. So maybe Trumpets allies , who he has regularly derided and scorned in favour of his pals Putin and Netanyahu have just had enough.
Overseas we watch the MAGA cult with growing alarm and want no part of its madness.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@scottwhite1065 @OccupyDemocrats I wish we had billed your arses for coming to your call after 911 ( the only time NATO has called on its mutual defence ) the way you are billing Europe for your “help” in Ukraine. Your bloody inane wars you keep dragging others into are ludicrously expensive. We have had enough.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

#IranWar‌ and why #NATO wants no part in it in a nutshell.
#Trump , the the colosal idiot he is, has made a huge mess and now wants someone else to engage , and then he’ll do what he does best bail out and leave someone else with the bill. No thanks.

BREAKING: French General Michel Yakovleff HUMILIATES Trump for begging Europe to get involved in his Iran War, says that it would be like "buying cheap tickets for the Titanic" after it hit the iceberg.

This is beyond brutal...

"We have five reasons to say no to him, in fact," said Yakovleff. "So, the first one is that he didn't understand that if he wants to carry out a NATO operation, NATO has to take command. So, there will be an American general, but it's a single operation."

“You can’t have an American operation where they’re bombing whatever they can and then below that, the Europeans doing something else,” Yakovleff said. “No, no, no, it has to be one sole operation, under a NATO flag. I don’t think he understood that.”

Yakovleff served as a three general in the French Army, was commander of the French Foreign Legion, and served in top positions in NATO. He's a highly respected military expert in France and regularly weighs in on issues of international importance.

Trump has been pleading with allied nations to get involved in his Iran fiasco. Iranian missiles and drones have made it impossible for oil tankers to obtain insurance to traverse the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's petroleum normally passes. Oil prices are skyrocketing. So far, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have refused Trump's request.

General Yakovleff went on to point out that Trump's strategic goals, beyond forcing open the strait, are vague and undefined. If NATO nations were even going to consider involvement, they would need the United States to explain explicitly in writing what the goals are.

"And it's not tweets, and it's not things that change every two minutes. So, already there, it's going to be necessary for Trump himself to know what he wants," said the general.

He said that there's also the issue of the lack of "confidence" in Trump. It's well-known that he regularly abandons his allies and he could do so here immediately after other nations got involved.

“He would let us down whenever it suited him," said Yakovleff.

He ended his tirade by comparing Trump to the captain of the Titanic trying to "sell cheap tickets" for his voyage "after having hit the iceberg."

“And the last argument is American: you don’t reinforce failure. I learnt that at the U.S. Army War College. You don’t reinforce failure, you move on, you find something else.” he added. "So, there are a lot of reasons to say no."

Please ❤️ and share if you think that the Iran War is a total disaster!

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

Sadly it was clear to #NATO that under Trump he was never going to support NATO. He is a lousy poker player.
Now he has said it out loud it will embolden Putin . Estonia and Poland are concerned at this point. #TrumpTraitor.
#Trump #Iran #Ukraine

#Drones, the new #AirPower.
Other than other drones of course, to combat them you need aircraft that can be flown at low speed, a successful record of shooting them down ,mass produced and where we have schematics. Question is which - the #Hurricane or the #Spitfire. #IranWar‌

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@visegrad24 Too little too late. Yes it should have been a team effort under an international coalition agreement. You told everyone to F off and did something everyone was telling you not to. Because Israel told you to. Now your stuck and want to be saved. Hope you wallow in it.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@David747815774 @WhiteHouse Fake ??? You absolute c$$nt. My son is Downs. Clearly though he is more of a man than you’ll ever be you miserable excuse for a human being.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@David747815774 @WhiteHouse That’s is extremely offensive to disabled people. Seriously. No Downs person has a single bad bone in their body. To compare them to this piece of shit. Shame.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

Love it.

[Mark Phillips @markcphillips]

@Rightanglenews No one allowed you to use their bases for an un sanctioned war with no end plan. Just cut all trade with everyone and disappear up your own ar$e. Won’t be long then before even your cult followers wake up.

@nicksortor Bloody Americans butchering the English language.
Sunken - it’s sunk , past tense. Sunken isn’t a word.
Dove - it’s dived , past tense , dove is a bird.
Awesome - used for the sun rising over the Appalachians. Not pizza.
Organise - there is no z.
I could go on.
