    Trump just bombed a top Iranian general in Iraq. Whole situation seems a bit mental.

    Oil price already surging so it’s going to be felt here.

    World’s going mad.

    Don't worry. If extinction rebellion have their way all the oil wells in the World will be capped and those OPEC countries in the Middle East will go back to whatever they did before the oil boom made them rich

    Well that's one way of attempting to deflect the focus from the OP's main concern.

    Got an election to win whilst being impeached - start a war as a distraction - its known to work well

    So the US president illegally ( and without even the backing of Congress or the Senate) assasinates a foreign general
    I expect our Prime Minister to be condemning this in the strongest possible terms and threatening sanctions against the US ....

    Oh bugger just remembered we need a US trade deal far more than we need to uphold international law

    All while Johnson is topping up his tan in the Caribbean with his gold digga. Corbyn is condemning it of course, you know, being the leader he was supposed to be

    price of oil has dropped week-on-week now for months, yet the price at the pump keeps sneaking up by a penny-or-so a week. Imagine the imminent increases now that the price of oil has gone UP again?

    Trump is dangerous! Not just an assassination, but a flipping air strike in a foreign land. Then they tell all US citizens to leave immediately (after “protecting” them by an air strike?). Trump is unhinged

    Does this assassination mean that as far as James Earl Ray, Sirhan Sirhan and Lee Harvey Oswald are concerned,,, all is forgiven?
