Right, so Saudi Arabia now seems to be preparing for more Houthi attacks, chiefly they’re worried about their energy infrastructure, ports and airports. All the parts you only start to notice when someone begins connecting the dots with cruise missiles. And this comes just as Saudi-backed forces in Yemen have suffered heavy losses, at least 30 killed and more than 50 wounded. But strangely enough,...

Right, so there’s Netanyahu, actually standing inside Lebanon, telling Israeli soldiers that as long as Hezbollah is a threat, Israel will stay right there. “We will stay here.” Well, that boast has soured faster than milk left out in a Tel Aviv August. Now, two Israeli reservists are dead, and four more have been seriously wounded inside the very part of Lebanon that Netanyahu and his government...

Right, so Donald Trump is out there claiming America has enough ammunition to make Rambo blush. Not just a lot, either. More than the US could ever actually use, unless the idea is to shoot at the moon for target practice and frankly Elon Musk hitting it with his leftovers last night was bad enough, so we don’t need that. It’s a bold claim actually, given that in Operation Desert Storm the US fire...

Right, so Bristol University has spent the past few years insisting that firing David Miller over his anti-Zionism beliefs was entirely justified. And it lost. Spectacularly. The original case collapsed faster than a university press release after a scandal. So Bristol appealed, hoping that if it dragged the stink they were creating into a higher court, things would turn out differently. Well, tou...

Right, so NewsNation asked Republican Congressman and Zionism’s biggest fan Randy Fine how much longer Americans were expected to carry the cost of Donald Trump's Iran war. A war we all know is being waged in the interests of Israel of course. A fair question, really. Petrol costs more, transport costs more, anything that even moves across state lines costs more, and in the end the whole country g...

Right, so Donald Trump is out here insisting Israel is absolutely thrilled with his latest Gaza masterstroke. The pitch, at least in theory, was a classic Trump-style swap: Hamas gives up its weapons under the watchful eyes of international clipboard-carriers, a group of technocrats is dropped in to run Gaza, and Israeli troops quietly withdraw, sector by sector, as long as everyone follows the ru...

Right, so Donald Trump claims America is prepared to strike Iran again whenever he feels like it. Anytime he wants. Because Trump approaches regional security like a man shaking a petrol can beside an open flame. But there's just one small snag in this latest display of dementia-addled orange bravado. The American families who were forced out after Iranian missiles and drones struck Bahrain last t...

Right, so what has happened in the last few days in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta has been well covered in the media, but not necessarily in full, and certainly not the latest events, as the story actually continues to unfold and not to the benefit of those who thought this was something smart and clever either. This was not some sudden invasion that came out of nowhere. This was orchestrated, not...

Right, so Donald Trump entered this war demanding Iran's unconditional surrender, as if he were at a drive-thru shouting for a cheeseburger and expecting Tehran to include a free milkshake. Back in February, he assumed the whole conflict would be finished in four weeks, maybe even sooner if he skipped dessert. Five months of bombing, threats, and increasingly tense victory laps later, Iran still h...

Right, so Benjamin Netanyahu believed Washington had just handed him a lifeline. He had spoken with America's secretary of state, received promises of strong action against the institution threatening him, and felt confident enough to announce it to his Cabinet as if the outcome was already decided. A very positive development for Netanyahu, certainly. He faced an active arrest warrant, and the mo...

Right, so it turns out Donald Trump has finally stumbled across a problem that refuses to be solved by lobbing another bomb at it. Tragic, really. Iran is striking American military facilities throughout the region. The Pentagon is reportedly scaling back its large presence in Kuwait. In Jordan, hundreds of prominent individuals are calling for the complete removal of the American presence. And no...

Right, so Trump and Epstein lawyer, the odiously Zionist Alan Dershowitz appeared on Piers Morgan's show and, within about five minutes, managed to accuse Professor Mohammad Marandi of being a Nazi propagandist, a supporter of genocide, and someone who hates Jews. He was about as subtle as a marching band in a library. Dershowitz arrived with the guilty verdict already printed, laminated, and prob...

Right, so Donald Trump says America has plenty of missiles. Plenty. Loads. More missiles than America could ever possibly use, or so says the man bombing Iran, threatening fresh strikes, exposing US bases across the Gulf and promising Patriots elsewhere, all while burning through the world's most expensive air-defence equipment like a toddler let loose in a fireworks warehouse and piling on fresh...

Right, so Pete Hegseth went on television a couple of months ago now and announced that Iran's military was destroyed. Combat ineffective he said at the time. Devastated. Finished. Toast. Iran, apparently, exists now only as a cautionary tale for aspiring militaries everywhere. And then, as usual when it comes to the bloviating orange one’s administration, reality gate-crashed the party and wrecke...

Right, so Tell is a Palestinian village near Nablus in the occupied West Bank. On Friday morning, a group of armed Israeli settlers came in from the direction of the nearby Havat Gilad outpost, without coordinating with the army. A bunch of armed settlers wander into a Palestinian area they're not supposed to be in, six people end up dead, and Netanyahu's government decides the real problem here i...

Right, so there he is, Donald Trump, locked, loaded, talking as if he is about to star in a low-budget action film that nobody really wanted. Ready to go. Ready to launch another so-called 'massive' attack on Iran. Ready to flatten bridges, power stations, military sites, and whatever else the Pentagon's restless interns managed to jot down on the target list while appearing busy. Except he did no...

Right, so Saudi Arabia's response to the NCC MASA being hit in the Red Sea and sustaining minor hull damage, with the crew unharmed and the vessel still able to continue its journey, was to resume bombing Yemen. Not a ship sunk. Not a crew killed. Not a port knocked out. A damaged vessel that kept moving, and then Riyadh decided the next step was to call in the air force. Just double down again, w...

Right, so Donald Trump needed this war to look like a win, since nothing says "stable genius" quite like turning a bloodbath into a campaign ad. He bombed Iran, declared a ceasefire, and right away began selling the entire fiasco as quick, tidy, and a real bargain in American lives. Iran was supposedly shattered. The missiles were apparently vaporised. Victory secured. Mission accomplished, just w...

Right, so the Houthis sent Saudi Arabia what amounts to a polite RSVP for the Red Sea fireworks, as if missile launches were just another part of the evening's schedule. Tankers immediately began performing the maritime equivalent of a panicked three-point turn, much like learner drivers who suddenly spot the examiner. Trump was asked about the situation and, in his usual style, declared he'd hand...

Right, so Netanyahu’s government has just told Israel’s High Court: don’t force an independent October 7 inquiry before the election. Well whyever would that be then? Let Israelis decide whether to put Netanyahu back in office first. Ask what went wrong under his government afterwards. Vote first. Answers later. That is the timetable Netanyahu wants. But putting it in writing may have been a colos...

Right, so Saudi Arabia just walked away with the nuclear deal Israel assumed Trump was keeping in his oversized pockets until Riyadh decided to behave. Here's the short version: thirty years of American companies pushing reactors, tech, and nuclear parts to Saudi Arabia. No, Mohammed Bin Salman isn't getting a bomb in the mail or a shiny enrichment plant tomorrow morning, but the door is politely...

Right, so by Pete Kegsbreath's own count, Donald Trump's Iran war has now cost the United States thirty-seven and a half billion dollars. That number? They can pull it out faster than a magician with a rabbit. Just look at the precision, decimal point and everything, as if the Pentagon's accountants are splitting atoms, not budgets. But ask one of Trump's top brass how many Americans have been wou...

Right, so Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's national security minister and the man politically responsible for its police and prison service, seems to have watched one Bond film too many and decided Israeli prisons were missing something. Not more staff. Not better oversight. Crocodiles. Yes, actual Nile crocodiles. And before you roll your eyes and assume Ben-Gvir was just busy posting another foolish AI...

Right, so two Saudi oil tankers, carrying 2.7 million barrels of crude and all the optimism of a doomed road trip, were steaming towards China and India until they suddenly pulled a U-turn in the Red Sea as if they’d just remembered they left the iron on. Why? Because the Houthis spoke up and warned that Saudi-linked shipping was now fair game if it tried to head south through the Bab-el-Mandeb St...

Right, so Andy Burnham says Britain has just gone through the biggest political shake-up in forty years. Apparently all it took was a few new faces that actually weren’t that new at all. Forty years. Thatcher. Blair. Austerity. Brexit. The full Olympic relay of national self-sabotage. And now, it seems, all it takes to wipe away forty years of wreckage is Rachel Reeves and David Lammy hauling card...
