6 months on from Oct 7th attacks. So many lives destroyed. No end in sight. So incredibly sad.

[steviewevie]

Cameron and Blinken arguing desperately for more money from US to Ukraine which republicans in congress are blocking...Ukraine desperately trying to hold on against a Russia that is on the front foot. I don't know how this ends, but at moment not sure it is going to end well for Ukraine.

[steviewevie]

Infact the two big wars getting everyone's attention...in Ukraine and Gaza...how do they end and what will happen after it ends?! All a big f**king mess.

[steviewevie]

still won't stop the far right winning sh*t loads of seats in a few months...

 

[steviewevie]

Israel waiting to see if Iran strikes back which could lead to a wider war, and meanwhile their goal of eliminating Hamas is still out of sight, it looks like a lot of the hostages are possibly dead, they have caused a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and they are now despised around the world. Good work Bibi.

'We have delivered a robust legislative framework on how to deal with migration and asylum in the EU.'

Does that mean send them all to the UK?

Russia are definitely winning in Ukraine. Could be all over this year.

dunno if you've seen the tv pictures from sydney this morning, there's a building in the foreground with the name "david jones" on it, i wanna know if that's for the monkees or bowie?

[steviewevie]

So I guess this attack in Australia is probably a terrorist attack...we're probably going to see more of these with all the sh*t going on in the middle east.

Police commissioner person on TV kind of indicating that bloke who did it was known to them and not linked to terrorism.

Iran in a bit of a pickle...needs to look like it is doing something, but knows it would be a disaster if actual war with Israel (and US) broke out.

Yep. Just keeps escalating. This could all get a whole lot worse for the region 

[steviewevie]

..and US is an ally of Israel, and Russia an ally of Iran.

[Neil]

Duck - here comes ww3

[steviewevie]

Yep, looks like missiles have been launched. Have to hope they bring down these drones and missiles and then someone needs to step in and de-escalate this sh*t.

Israel's defences will probably sort the missiles and drones, normally deals with Hamas missiles from Gaza without several hours advance warning.

Reports that RAF jets are shooting down some drones.
