Time will tell. Not much time, at that. Trump's forthcoming summit with Xi will make the actual position clear.

And if the summit never happens, it will make it even clearer.

I'm sure the "former allies" may be excused for taking a pass on Trump and Bibi's madness.

Spot on.

So much for America First and no more Wars etc.

UK military bled and died in Afghanistan, too.

Trump insulted them.

Brits will not forgive or forget that.

Now, all eyes on Islamabad.

Not looking hopeful, but let's see.

I am amused that so many want to see the US fail.

I wish a giant middle finger to everyone.

Biggrin

It was a horrible thing to see the IRGC murdered something like 40,000 civilians who protested their authority.  Not surprising that they would murder Iranians protesting their authority, but horrible.

I was, however, quite surprised to see American forces bomb IRGC forces, as if in response to this populist uprising…
