This is the UK which failed to protect its base with HMS Dragon to the region or at least Cyprus, they are depending on Greece to protect them. And look at him saying "we have other destroyers in this region" no you don't, those are American assets.

This is the kind of free ride these nations want.

I agree with Al Sharpton, "the problem is not trump, the problem is us, what happened to us?"

An American ground invasion of Iran would be similar to Athens' invasion of Sicily in 415 BCE, as described in Thucydides' The Peloponnesian War. Despite its initial successes, the Athenians couldn't re-supply themselves, and their entire expedition was wiped out.

This disastrous defeat turned the war in Sparta's favor, and spelled the downfall of the Athenian empire.

Could the American empire in Iran suffer the same fate as the Athenian empire in Sicily?
They didn't use drones or planes for logistics and to fight wars back then. This era is different. They can potentially defeat Iran in less than a year.

Global airlift C-17, C-5, etc,
Satellite navigation and surveillance,
Carrier strike groups and long range bombers,
They have good regional bases for staging Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Turkey, Diego Garcia, etc.
Precision guided weapons and drones.
So, today's militaries do not depend on a single fragile supply route the way they did back in the day expeditions.

The issue is that losing even one soldier will be seen as a failure.

That is your own independent opinion to which you are entitled. You however do not make laws for the UK where the courts have decided he did promote hatred, and where he himself admitted he promoted hatred.



Now, we both know we'd not agree on this despite all the evidence, so forgive me If no further responses.
What's the evidence?

Its your opinion too isn't it? You talk about how he spreads hate which is a big deal in the UK, especially against Islam but he has never been charged with hate crimes.

The police were/are afraid people like you will call them racists if they do something about the g-gangs, Tommy Robinson is willing to be called all the names by you and others to expose these people.

The hatred he promotes motivates some to go and attack only those grooming gangs that don't look like them when there are also many grooming gang members who look like him too.

As for your "hatred for", the government just recently lost their case against Palestine Action for displaying Hama flags, amongst other things. So I wouldn't agree that the UK hates anyone.
He does not promote hatred. The police refused to go after the Pakistani gangs because they don't want to be called racists. That is what and why he was exposing them. They were/are doing it with impunity. He sounded the alarm and the government turned on him.

While it's true that grooming gangs in the UK aren't limited to any single ethnic group—as reports have documented cases involving white British, Afro-Caribbean, and other perpetrators—the failures in addressing many high-profile scandals, like those in Rotherham, Telford, and Rochdale, have been explicitly linked to authorities' fears of being labeled racist. Independent inquiries, including the 2025 Casey Report, found that police and social services often avoided investigating or recording the ethnicity of offenders (predominantly of Pakistani heritage in those cases) to prevent accusations of racism or community tensions. This "blindness and ignorance" allowed abuse to continue for years, affecting thousands of vulnerable children. The government has since apologized and mandated better data collection on ethnicity to address these systemic issues. That said, critics argue the narrative can fuel moral panic and unfairly stigmatize entire communities, but the documented institutional hesitancy due to PC concerns is hard to dispute based on the evidence.

No Bem, this is not "a progressive behaviour for liberals". What it is is some people campaigning for the votes of liberals, at best, and others who might not like the current government. As as you've been informed, some are already being rejected.


I am not attacking Tommy Robinson, Ben. He does his parliament marches where I can easily walk to and I've never bothered getting out my house to go and attack irrelevant pointless him.

What you don't get is UK does not condone the sort of hatred he promotes. But I guess you might learn from the results of our next election.

And yes, your first thought is to claim it's not the same. I am telling you that here in the UK, there's no difference.
The hatred he promotes is exposing the grooming gang? Wow, the UK that will happily condone Hamas flags and hatred for Jews?

How is the police, something you support willing to set up a sting operation for cat callers but are reluctant or look the other way on grooming gangs?

You guys should focus on your buddies in California
Rene Campos, a registered sex offender convicted in 2018 for possession of child sexual abuse material, is currently running as a Democrat for Fresno City Council District 7 in California.

Anthony Weiner, a former U.S. Congressman convicted in 2017 for sending obscene material to a minor and required to register as a sex offender, ran as a Democrat for New York City Council District 2 in the June 2025 primary election.

Jason Hamlin, convicted of first-degree rape in 2001 for assaulting a 17-year-old girl and classified as a Level 1 sex offender after serving five years in prison, is running as a Democrat for highway superintendent in North Greenbush, Rensselaer County, New York, in the November 2025 election

Or the grooming gang instead of attacking the guy exposing it calling him a racist, budaatum.

One of the reasons the authorities did nothing is because they don't want to be tagged racists, yet you call the guy doing something about it a racist. At least he is not the coward that is the British authority. And the police were right about being called racists by people like you.

I've tried my best to not slip into anti-theism ever since losing by faith, but sh!t like this make it really difficult.

There's no positive future, with people who are dead set on dragging everyone else into their murder-suicide fantasy, in power.
You are easily manipulated then.

They always look for a way to go after Christians, in this case Christian nationalism. I can say this did not happen.

The MRFF did not name any specific commanders, or their units, ranks beyond general terms like commander or combat unit commander, or installations by name.

The allegations stem from anonymous complaints filed by service members, fine but name names.

He is not "listening to Tucker because of", bem.

He listened to Tucker to hear what Tucker and Huckabee had to say.
Because Tucker is now an anti-Semite.

I did not even listen to the interview because I have no time for Tucker. The dude left bluesky that Tucker does not use, back to x just so he could watch the antisemite.


But he is not surprised Tucker is promoting antisemitism, he is backing him

No they are not buddies. They just agree on some Pro-American issues.

I know the minds of extremists are not allowed to reason like this.
Which is making my point, they are hugging and taking pictures together, sitting down together only when Tucker became antisemitic.

For 15+ years they could not find one thing to agree on till now?

Why is Cenk saying Tucker should he embraced after he became Qatar's mouthpiece, promotes Sharia law etc?

Why does he see Tucker as an ally now?

I have 0 cares what Bemeruca thinks.
He isn't intelligent enough to even argue with.
His posts here sound like someone trying hard to be something he's not or come off as smarter than he is.

I do think Tucker is a deplorable person but since I think Huckabee is a deplorable person in the same vain, Tucker was probably one of the few people who could be in the same space to even have this type of discussion and illicit these responses since Huckabee let down his guard as he still thought he was talking to someone like minded (both Trump acolytes).

But these are some of the questions I like to get answers from. And the answers coming from a self-described Christian Zionist disturbed me.
1.) Where does Israel's claim to that land come from. And how Universal is the theory behind the claim. If we removed Israel's name from the equation would that argument still hold for other countries/people.
2.) Who gets to hold citizenship in Israel and are there people with greater citizenship than others and why so?
So much intelligence to discover 3x is greater than 70x

You are Tucker are in the same frequency. Own it

I've listened to that disastrous interview so now loved by the left
He is the reason I don't trust the Vice President. His son works for the VP, his brother is openly espousing Nazi messages, he is anti-America, hates Christians, loves communists, just like the left, everything wrong in the world is because of the Jews.

He is now promoting Sharia Law

Tucker wants DNA. I guess he has the DNA of Abraham


But he does not know that Jew is not a race but an ethnicity, culture.
Also, if we do a DNA test, we can trace Palestinians out of that land to Arabia. By Tucker's logic, why are they even there trying to expel the Jews from what remains of their land?

If he is listening to Tucker because of anti-Semitism then pretend Tucker was asking question Mike Huckabee could not answer, that means he has found a new friend, the horseshoe theory just materialized.

Tucker hates Israel, is anti-semitic, so he is now interesting to IjeBos.

Cenk was going after Tucker for years till Tucker became openly antisemitic. Now they are buddies.

So Stephen Colbert has sidelined Jasmine Crockett a black anti-Trump, for a non-black guy in their senate election primary race by not giving her equal airtime but TRUMP IS TO BLAME

IjeBos why are you not talking about systemic racism now?

The claim that **Jasmine Crockett** is being "sidelined" by **Stephen Colbert's** show (The Late Show on CBS) while blaming **Donald Trump** appears to stem from a recent controversy in the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate primary race, where Crockett is running against state Rep. James Talarico (among others). The primary election is upcoming, with early voting already underway.

Here's what actually happened based on recent reports:

- Colbert taped an interview with Talarico (Crockett's primary opponent).
- CBS lawyers advised against airing it on broadcast TV due to concerns over the FCC's **equal-time rule** (a longstanding regulation requiring broadcasters to provide equal opportunities for political candidates in the same race if one gets airtime). New FCC guidance under the current administration reportedly clarified that late-night shows aren't exempt.
- To comply, the show would have needed to offer Crockett (and potentially other candidates) comparable airtime, or limit the segment's reach (e.g., not airing in Texas).
- Instead of doing that, CBS opted not to air the interview on TV. Colbert publicly criticized the decision on air, calling it restrictive, and the segment was posted online (where it gained millions of views on YouTube).
- Talarico and some supporters framed this as "censorship" by the Trump administration's FCC, claiming it was an attempt to suppress anti-Trump voices and help flip Texas seats. Talarico used it for fundraising, reportedly raising $2.5 million in a day by calling it a "banned" interview.

However, Crockett herself pushed back on this narrative:

- She stated that Paramount (CBS's parent company) contacted her and explained the issue was simply about offering her equal time if the Talarico interview aired.
- The federal government/FCC did **not** shut it down outright-CBS/Colbert chose not to proceed with broadcast to avoid the hassle.
- Crockett noted she hadn't been invited onto the show recently (before or after the incident), despite having appeared there multiple times in the past (e.g., 2024 and May 2025).
- She even suggested the online release might have given Talarico a "boost" in visibility, comparing it to other "censorship" attempts that backfired by going viral.

The FCC chair denied any direct censorship, emphasizing compliance options were available (like equal time). Some conservative commentators and X posts flipped the script, accusing Colbert of avoiding interviewing Crockett (a Black woman) and running a "hoax" to favor Talarico.

In short, there's no evidence Crockett is being deliberately "sidelined" by Colbert's show in a punitive way. The situation arose from equal-time compliance fears in a competitive primary-not a personal or Trump-directed blackout against her. Blaming Trump seems to come mainly from Talarico's camp and supporters, while Crockett attributes the decision to CBS/Colbert's caution. The controversy has mostly amplified attention on the race rather than suppressed anyone.
