One of the greatest scenes in a Spielberg movie... and you never even see what actually happens.
It's all descriptions and suggestions as to what is happening.

🚨 🗣️ :Gerard Piqué: “One of Manchester United’s biggest problems is their former players. Instead of supporting the team, many of them spend too much time criticising the club, the manager, and the current players.

It almost feels like they don’t want Manchester United to rise again because they fear this new generation could overshadow what they achieved at the club. 💣🔴

At other big clubs, legends protect the team during difficult moments, but with United, it’s always criticism, negativity, and pressure. Sometimes, you start to wonder if some of them are part of the problem rather than the solution.”🥺💔

This post from Marcus Rashford is honestly disgraceful.

The complete lack of acknowledgment towards MANCHESTER UNITED the club that literally built his entire existence in football tells you everything you need to know about the kind of man he is.

United took him in as a child. United developed him. United protected him. United paid him superstar wages through horrific form. United defended him while the football world criticized him. United fans backed him harder than most players ever get backed.

Yet somehow: Barcelona gets mentioned. England gets mentioned. Managers get mentioned. Loan clubs get mentioned.

But Manchester United? Silence....nah!..

That is not an accident. That is deliberate.

And let’s tell the truth people are scared to say: if Rashford has 15 million fans, at least 14 million came because Manchester United fans embraced him as one of their own.

The badge created the superstar. Not the other way around.

What makes this even worse is the victim narrative constantly surrounding him as if the club abandoned him, when in reality the club kept standing by him long after his performances stopped justifying it.

Meanwhile younger players get dropped, respond professionally, fight for their place again and move forward.

But Rashford? Press leaks. Public sulking. Distance from the club. And now this passive-aggressive nonsense.

This is exactly why no player should EVER be placed above the institution.

Manchester United existed before Rashford. Manchester United will exist after Rashford.

The club survives. The badge remains. The fans remain.

Always 🔴

@TheFergusonWay They’re raging that Carrick has got the gig. He’s clearly not part of their ‘old boys’ little circle. Remember Scholes having a pop a while back as well. Proper snides.

USA – Just Another Country Every Ally Gone. Every Bridge Burned.

For decades, the alliance had a problem member. Everyone knew it. The country that invaded Iraq on a lie, tanked the global economy in 2008, and elected its own demolition crew in 2016 and again in 2025. The others adjusted. Covered for it. Kept showing up. You don't abandon a friend just because he occasionally drives into a ditch. You wait until he drives into yours.

Then Trump made it simple. The friend who had always been difficult had finally done something unforgivable. The room went quiet. And then everyone moved on.

America was never strong alone. It was strong because it sat at the center of the most sophisticated network of power ever assembled. British diplomats carrying influence into Canberra and Wellington. French connections opening doors across Africa and the Middle East. Norwegian and Greek shipping moving a third of the world's cargo. German engineering. Japanese capital. South Korean semiconductors. Canadian stability. Australian intelligence. Dutch and Belgian ports as the gateway to 750 million consumers. Danish and Italian naval presence across two seas.

Every one of them a multiplier, lifting Washington into rooms it could never have entered alone. It was not one football team. It was hundreds of teams, running the same plays, on every field, simultaneously. Trump dismantled it the way a bored child dismantles a Lego set. Not to build something else. Just to watch the pieces fall.

What is left is 340 million people staring across the Pacific at 1.4 billion. China did not need to do anything during the Iran war. It watched. It waited. It took notes. While Washington burned its relationships one by one, Beijing made calls, signed deals, and let the silence do the work. Silence, it turns out, is a remarkably effective foreign policy.

The allies are not mourning. They are discovering something they perhaps always suspected: that Washington was often the ceiling, not the floor. The ally that needed managing. The friend whose chaos you had to absorb before you could get anything done. Turns out the meeting goes faster when he's not in the room.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said it plainly: "The old relationship we had with the United States is over. It's clear the US is no longer a reliable partner." At Davos he told world leaders the scaffold of American power was being abandoned. "Friends," he said, "it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down."

Germany said the war had nothing to do with NATO. France blocked arms flights. Spain closed its airspace. Italy denied landing rights. Poland kept its missile batteries home. Kallas delivered the European verdict: "This is not Europe's war. No one wants to actively get involved." Which, translated from diplomat into English, means: absolutely not.

Starmer condemned "regime change from the skies." Sanchez accused Washington of playing "Russian roulette with the destiny of millions." Macron said: "When we want to be serious, we don't say each day the opposite of what we said the day before." Coming from a Frenchman, that is essentially a controlled demolition.

These are the countries that sent their sons to the Gulf in 1991. That stood in line at NATO headquarters on September 12, 2001. They know what the alliance was. They have decided, with remarkable calm, that they are better off without the version currently on offer.
This is what it looks like when an alliance leaves one of its own members behind.

Professor Robert Pape put the result plainly: "Iran is far stronger than it was 40 days ago. It is in control of 20 percent of the world's oil. It is now an emerging fourth center of power." Washington went to war to prevent exactly this outcome. It succeeded, just not in the way it intended.

One country launched a war alone, begged Pakistan to broker peace talks, and came home empty-handed.

French Senator Claude Malhuret said it on the floor of the French Senate, viewed millions of times across the world: "Washington has become Nero's court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a buffoon on ketamine in charge of purging the civil service." Americans flooded his inbox asking why it had to be a French politician to say what nobody in Washington would.

A year later he corrected himself. Nero's court was too dignified. "I was wrong. It is the Court of Miracles." A medieval Parisian slum where criminals and thieves pretended to be something they were not. He listed the cabinet: an anti-vaxxer and former heroin addict as Secretary of Health, a climate denier running environmental policy, an alcoholic television host handed the world's most powerful military, a Qatari lobbyist as Attorney General, a Putin admirer as National Security Advisor. Then he cited a Turkish proverb: "When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become king. The palace becomes a circus."

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Trump had Truth Social and a golf cart. He posted images of himself as Jesus on Easter Sunday, then deleted them before breakfast. Threatened to erase "a whole civilization," then teed off by Monday morning. At least Nero stayed in Rome.

A country so institutionally broken that it took a French senator to say out loud what every American already knew. Congress watched. The Republicans said nothing, because nothing pays better than silence. The Democrats couldn't find their spine. The entire apparatus of the world's oldest democracy stood on the sidelines while one man helped himself to powers the constitution told him he couldn't have.

Either everyone in that building has decided this is perfectly fine. Or they've concluded it's already too late.

Either way, the word for that is not democracy.

The White House became the circus.

Remember when we said Brexit would be a shitshow for the UK?

Remember when we told you that Trump would be a total disaster for mankind?

We’re telling you the same things about Farage and Reform.

Are you really that fucking thick?
