@DrMaxPowarr @Chronodendron Good joke. You made me laugh.

[Matteo Castagna @mcastagnaa]

@R4WorldTonight you cannot go. It is an essential service.

@ChampRDS @ufc Panem et circenses. It was invented long ago. Nothing new. Boring.

[Matteo Castagna @mcastagnaa]

@RestIsPolitics after a couple of so-and-so episodes, this Las one was very good indeed. The part on the death of Henry Novak absolutely spot on, for me at least.

@ConciousLabRat Is this you stand-up comedy script? Few touches here and there and it should get a few laughs.

[Matteo Castagna @mcastagnaa]

@AndrewHGiuliani shout start a stand-up comic career. The interview with @R4WorldTonight was hilarious.

Some of our friends and readers are asking why I haven't written a follow-up to my piece on this administration's failures of strategy in Iran:

https://t.co/pzWJvMysz9

The honest answer is that the fundamentals, which is what my article is about, haven't changed. I could write about it again and again, but the fallen tree is lying there in the muck for everyone to see.

The administration can show you a great pile of Iranian wreckage. It keeps a tidy ledger of everything it has broken (while a steady flow of leaks reveals how Iran is reassmenbling it). But wreckage tells you nothing about whether a strategy exists. You can destroy a great deal and accomplish nothing.

What the White House cannot tell you, still, is what it wants the region and the world to look like once the war is done (and despite legal dodges to avoid Congressional power, the war is not done) and how the war and, now, negotiations will make that happen. That is the whole of the matter.

Questions about the presidents intent for future of the regime, loose nuclear material, the Strait, and energy markets should have been answered before the campaign plan was written. The purpose of strategy is to design military action around objectives, not to vamp around a shifting and hazy array of aims after military action has begun.

The administration resembles a man who set out on a long road with great energy and no notion of where he means to arrive. As someone who toiled alongside our servicemembers with our British and Danish allies in Afghanistan, that sure feels familiar.

Success in war is measured by whether your efforts bought you a better end and a better peace.

I am still waiting, with my fellow Americans, to hear what that is.

@TFIupdates It arrived. Packed but it was there at the time you suggested.

[Matteo Castagna @mcastagnaa]

Hi @TFIupdates will I have an E1 to from stop 3131 to Ballywaltrim before tomorrow? Two "not in service" in a row since 45' ago.

[Matteo Castagna @mcastagnaa]

@JohnRentoul @PaddyBriggs @MrTCHarris Wasn't it a catastrophic mistake? If it was, since when telling as it is, is a bad idea? It seems very patronising going round the obvious.

@RoryStewartUK @RestIsPolitics what about: Starmer stays on as PM. Burnham is brought in as sidekick in charge of fixing the policy and crucially communication. Without risking the by-election and the mess of the change of the leader soap opera.

@TFIupdates Instead of corporatese bullshit, why don't you actually look into the missing services this morning between 10:30 and 10:50?

[Matteo Castagna @mcastagnaa]

@TFIupdates the L1 and L2 services from Bray have a schedule which is a complete work of fantasy. They never show up. It is possibly 1 on 3.

[Matteo Castagna @mcastagnaa]

@amazingmap @TerribleMaps It is not in Ireland.

[Dominic Pino @DominicJPino]

Imagining explaining to the Founding Fathers that the president imposed tariffs without an act of Congress and then removed them at the request of the King of England

[Matteo Castagna @mcastagnaa]

@dieworkwear And who on earth is this George Santos guy, exactly?

[Matteo Castagna @mcastagnaa]

@dieworkwear And the one with brown shoes? Come on.

@Nerys__ Stanno "litigando" mica da ridere; forse Tsitsipas, da quando e' ritornato con il padre, ha raddrizzato la carriera.
