I'm not resisting
The president is set to deliver an “address to the nation” at 9pm EST on Wednesday (2am BST on Thursday) to provide an update on the war.
One other thing occurs, and it does not reflect well on Starmer. How often, in their speeches, did Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill have to repeat the phrase that they would work in Britain’s national interests? I counted four, maybe more, uses of this phrase during today’s press conference.
It’s unwieldy, but more importantly, it is – or ought to be – utterly unnecessary. He’s the Prime Minister. Obviously he’s going to act in Britain’s national interests because that is 100 per cent of his job and anything less would be treason. So why does he constantly feel the need to repeat it?
In whose interests, exactly, does Starmer fear we will suspect he’s acting if he doesn’t make this clear? It’s like an airline pilot reassuring his passengers that his number-one priority is not to crash the plane they’re travelling in. Yeah, we assumed that was the case, but thanks for putting the image in our heads.

The impressment of seamen from American ships caused serious tensions between Britain and the Thirteen Colonies in the years leading up to the Revolutionary War. One of the 27 colonial grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence directly highlights the practice: "He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands." It was again a cause of tension leading up to the War of 1812.

Kennedy has repeatedly shared unfounded conspiracies that man-made chemicals in the environment could be making children gay or transgender and causing the feminization of boys and masculinization of girls.
During the Gulf War, the HARM was involved in a friendly fire incident when the pilot of an F-4G Wild Weasel escorting a B-52G bomber mistook the latter's tail gun radar for an Iraqi AAA site—this was after the tail gunner of the B-52 had targeted the F-4G, mistaking it for an Iraqi MiG. The F-4 pilot launched the missile and then saw that the target was the B-52, which was hit. It survived with shrapnel damage to the tail and no casualties. The B-52 (serial number 58-0248) was subsequently renamed In HARM's Way.
March 24, 2003, a USAF F-16CJ Fighting Falcon fired an AGM-88 HARM at a Patriot missile battery after the Patriot's radar had locked onto and prepared to fire at the aircraft, causing the pilot to mistake it for an Iraqi surface-to-air missile system because the aircraft was in air combat operations and was on its way to a mission near Baghdad. The HARM damaged the Patriot's radar system with no casualties.
"Magnum" is spoken over the radio to announce the launch of an AGM-88. During the Gulf War, if an aircraft was illuminated by enemy radar a bogus "Magnum" call on the radio was often enough to convince the operators to power down.
I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast, for I intend to go in harm's way.
