“Are we the baddies?” is not a question anyone in the West has to ask themselves. There’s no question about it. You were. You are. Will you continue to be? That’s the only question that matters and the answer is entirely up to you.
Silence is complicity.
Inaction is complicity.
Apologism is complicity.
Do something!

Attached: 1 image More RAF jets are being sent to the Middle East, Keir Starmer has said after Iran threatened to target UK, French and US bases if the countries help stop strikes on Israel.

Does the fuckwit know he's contradicting himself?
"We've already been moving assets to the region, including jets, and that is for contingency support across the region," he told reporters.
"Our constant message is de-escalate, and therefore everything we're doing, all discussions we're having are to do with de-escalation."

How long will he give it though, flogging this dead horse.
Starmer and co are trashing Labour’s legacy. We must take back control of our party – before it’s too late | John McDonnell | The Guardian

Fler ammunitionsfabriker, nya kärnvapenbestyckade strategiska ubåtar, en satsning på drönare i marinen och en ny målsättning om att försvarsutgifterna ska nå 3 % av BNP. Det utlovade Keir Starmer på måndagen. https://www.dn.se/varlden/storbritannien-satsar-p…

"Boris Johnson, fellow journalist, wrote about Keir Starmer. He said Keir was the orange ball-chewing manacled gimp of Brussels. And we always tell young journalists: write about what you know!
Some of you will remember that a lot of Tory MPs were actually found with orange balls in manacles at various stages of the last government.
