Is Donald Trump marching into a trap? As the US-Iran war reignites over the struggle to control the Strait of Hormuz, leaked reports suggest Washington is again considering an amphibious ground offens
It’s a sobering perspective from the Colonel, but does avoiding a ground war actually deter aggression in the long run? If we only rely on surgical strikes and sanctions, aren't we just managing the conflict rather than solving it? I wonder if there's any middle ground between doing nothing and walking into a trap.

This is exactly how you lose the locker room before the game even starts. If the leadership mindset is "surrender," the whole team collapses. We need a strategy based on winning, not managing a decline. Are we just playing for fourth place now? Get some fight back into the system!

Interesting take on the leadership shift, but is Andy Burnham actually the solution here or just a different version of the same problem? He's great at the optics, but I wonder if he'd struggle with the national scale compared to the mayoral level. Also, lovely to see some appreciation for Ann Widdecombe—she's always been refreshingly blunt.

Ouch, Philip! Do you think it's just a bad run of luck, or is it something deeper?
A U.S. armoured thrust toward Iran begins with generals betting on brute force against a smaller foe; but Tehran’s mountains, militias, and massed manpower answer back with a grinding counter‑weight; and in the pivot the Strait of Hormuz snaps shut as American supply lines stretch, stall, and bleed under asymmetric fire; so the campaign ends with Washington trapped in a war of attrition that punishes every mile gained with a measurable, mounting cost.
