    Trump taking two weeks to think of his response would suggest it isn't an immediate threat. I imagine opinions on whether it meets the test or not are available in all hues. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/06/19/eu-divided-over-israels-right-to-bomb-iran...

    Yes, but it still needs to have an immediate threat that it is responding to. No such one exists currently to justify a pre-emptive strike. Wow, Israel has used it to justify illegal actions before and not been called up on it. What a shocker!

    Because USA had been funding terrorist organisations overseas to encourage regime change and some of those involved decided that an attack on USA territory is therefore justified. Funding is funding, surely? Targetting civilians doesn't seem to be here nor there when it is USA/NATO/UK, Israel...

    Yeah but we know the US and Israel (amongst others) ignore the UN whenever it suits them which has allowed other countries to ignore them. Much as the USA devalued the League of Nations and the ICC by refusing to sign up to them or being answerable to International norms.

    Caroline Test (from the frigging 1830S for GHod's sake!!!) states the need for a "instant, overwhelming, leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation". This would mean that Iran HAVE nuclear weapons and were going to the use them now, NOT in a few weeks time. Neither of those are...

    That really isn't enough under International Law for a pre-emptive strike against another soverign nation. Under that reading the 9/11 attack was justified, right?

    It really doesn't. Not with Trump leading the US and evagenlical arseholes like Huckerbee as Ambassador to Israel. it will be a key sign that Trump wants to bomb Iran. Nothing more.

    7th October escalated it from an Israel point of view - the Palestinain situation was dire for decades before with apartheid style laws, starvation level aid provision, no due process on detention or just being shot, illegal settlements all controlled by the Israelis. The crisis has been going...

    Started the ongoing crisis?????? When did the previous crisis stop? (Also Netanyahu has admitted to allowing the funding of Hamas to proceed so that there was a counter in Gaza to the PA in the West bank as a means to end a Two State conversation. Iran isn't the only one with blood on their...

    Don't, on the whole, disagree with what you are saying but ....... How did the 'second to none' intelligence service miss all the signs for Oct 7th? or was that a known event that was allowed (perhaps even encouraged) as it served a political purpose? They can't be amazing and that brick can...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    True but the likes of Panama are only MLS quality players on the whole. USMNT also has a lot more money and structure pumped into it and a bigger player pool than the teams they are losing too.

    Circus ManUnitus - Nobody's At The Wheel

    Thanks It was the way Maguire said those losses didn't count towards PSR because they were declared in US rather than UK (rather than they were 'acceptabl;e losses') that confused me.

    Circus ManUnitus - Nobody's At The Wheel

    Can someone more versed in the PSR intricacies explain to me how Man Uts can offshore £136million losses to New York and only reporting £36m loss in the UK and that be counted aginst PSR please? Surely loss is loss no matter where it is registered for these purposes?

    Dortmund weren't really the second club when he took over though. One title and 2 third place finishes (and no German Cups) in the two decades before he took over. Leverkusen, Bremen, Schalke and Wolfsburg all more successful than Dortmund prior to Klopp.

    Ange departs

    We have given lots of managers 5 year contracts. We didn't rip up the Doom Loop. Hindsight suggests we backed him to give him time to embed but if Pochetino hadn't maintained 5th or better (which he did) in his first 2 seasons he wouldn't have lasted 5 years.

    Transfer thread

    Mate, my comment was very tongue in cheek. I think EPL experience is overplayed I was just stirring it a bit. Although wasn't it all Levy's fault Grealish didn't come to us (don't think we have rehashed that argument for a while .....)
