Is Donald Trump at sea in the Gulf? Or is there method in endless on/off deals and rising oil prices - and convincing the world he doesn’t know what he is doing? @jamesdboys @CUSP_ucl tells @rdhearing and @LoudMouthComms

Forced adoptions, gay men imprisoned - we look back on the judgments of previous generations with horror. Are we kinder now? Or just more aware of difference? I and @LoudMouthComms ask @SMTaylorauthor @leedsbeckett
https://t.co/pIjx2QN2f6

[TheWhy?Curve @CurveThewhy]

Forced adoptions, men imprisoned for being gay - we’re horrified by the attitudes of just a generation ago. So is society now more compassionate? Or are we just unkind in different ways? @SMTaylorauthor @leedsbeckett tells @LoudMouthComms and @rdhearing

Ukraine hasn’t gone away, even though the Iran conflict has pushed it from the headlines. And what is developing there is a dangerous and murderous stalemate, Professor David Galbreath @UniofBath tells me and @LoudMouthComms
https://t.co/5yuLzdSKNW

[TheWhy?Curve @CurveThewhy]

The 6-week war in Iran has pushed Ukraine from the headlines, but the four-year conflict there rumbles on, and seems to have turned into a dangerous stalemate, Professor David Galbreath @UniofBath tells @rdhearing and @LoudMouthComms

[Roger Hearing @rdhearing]

Dragged into a war they didn’t want, Arab states in the Gulf are facing daily Iranian bombardment, and a block on their ability to export oil and gas. How do they feel about that?@LoudMouthComms and I ask @miraalhussein_ @alwaleed_centre @EdinburghUni

https://t.co/RVbyW77vfq

[TheWhy?Curve @CurveThewhy]

Battered by Iran in a war they didn’t start or want, Arab Gulf states are seeing their economies paralysed and safe-haven reputations trashed. @miraalhussein_ @alwaleed_centre @EdinburghUni tells @rdhearing and @LoudMouthComms about their response

https://t.co/3qSwVqdp34

[Roger Hearing @rdhearing]

Not a winner for Trump - the Iran war is increasingly unpopular in the US. Professor Paul Whiteley @Uni_of_Essex tells me and @LoudMouthComms it could shape the rest of his term, whether he goes bigger now, or pulls back.
