Brits who refuse WW3 conscription face embarrassing humiliation ritual | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

a (Image: undefined) Britons seeking to avoid military service in the event of a WW3 conscription drive could face a humiliating public shaming ritual. PM Andy Burnham has been warned Britain faces an “inevitable” Russian attack owing to the UK’s resolute and unyielding support of Ukraine. Security officials were put on heightened alert on Tuesday for a potential strike, either against Mr Burnham personally or vital military facilities. With the UK now being pulled into the worsening Iran War the prospect of conflict escalating further, especially as Russia aligns with Iran and continues its invasion into Ukraine, grows ever more plausible. Conscription isn’t certain but if a full WW3-level situation emerges, historical precedent suggests it could be implemented in the UK once more. WW3 fears are greater than ever – but could conscription be close? (Image: Getty) During WW2, those who proclaimed themselves “conscientious objectors” were brought before tribunals to make their cases, reports the Express. They were obliged to attend court to justify their reasons for refusing to enlist, and if their arguments weren’t …

11 Phrases People Who Know How To Politely Humiliate Someone Use In Casual Conversation

Published by Jenni Sidey

While grace and empathy can be great ways to combat criticism, some conflicts can’t be successfully managed without a rebuttal. Without taking part in a negative person’s victim mentality, there are certain phrases people who know how to politely humiliate someone say in casual conversation. Call it confidence or re-asserting their boundaries, but sometimes narcissistic (and generally negative) people need to be reminded by others of the respect and decency they expect. If they respond apologetically, you may have the space to reconnect, but if they’re equally offended by your response, it might be time to start creating some distance. People who know how to politely humiliate someone usually say these phrases casually: 1. ‘Don’t waste your time criticizing my life; focus on yours’ Srdjan Randjelovic / Shutterstock Clinical social worker Danielle Wade argues that criticism from others, especially consistently, is less of a personal attack on you and more ingrained in the perpetrator’s self-esteem, insecurity, and sometimes narcissistic tendencies. They’re motivated to assert their own power and superiority by bringing others down, even at …

Trump Will Make South Korea Pay For His Iran Humiliation

Trump Will Make South Korea Pay For His Iran Humiliation

Published by Daniella Wilson

Last winter, Donald Trump plunged recklessly into war with Iran. The United States is now losing that conflict. Iran remains defiant, much of the world economy is more threatened now than it was six months ago, U.S. military resources are overextended, and munition stores are dangerously depleted. Trump and the United States have suffered one embarrassment after another; last week, he had to sneak away from the region on a backup plane because of a possible assassination threat from Tehran. And so the president of the United States has taken the logical next step: He is punishing South Korea, a loyal American friend, and tempting U.S. enemies to doubt America’s will to defend its allies. Early Sunday evening, Trump instructed the Defense Department to “substantially reduce” its participation in an annual joint military exercise with the South Koreans. He did this, he said in a post on Truth Social, in part because such activities are expensive, but worse, they are insulting to his friends in North Korea, a country that has been “unthreatening and respectful” …

Humiliation for Putin as drones unleash new apocalyptic strikes on ‘Russia’s Amazon’ | World | News

Published by Sam Flores

Ukraine is suspected to have hit two major logistics centres for “Russia’s Amazon” overnight, marking the latest successful drone attack striking into the heart of Vladimir Putin’s country. The devastating drone strikes left the Wildberries online marketplace hubs ablaze in St Petersburg and Crimea. Another strike was reported in the Tver region amid a mass failure by Putin’s air defences during the most intense Ukrainian overnight attack of the war. Major flight delays hit St Petersburg as black smoke rose from the Wildberries strikes in Shushary and Utkina Zavod, likely causing billions of pounds of damage. The company, which handles 52% of all Russian online orders, suspended its operations at these two hubs. The Wildberries hub in Tver was also hit, bringing the total for the online marketplace to nine in recent days, with several completely destroyed. Separately, Ukraine used its own Flamingo missiles to strike the key defence plant Avitek in the Kirov region. There were fears of multiple casualties among workers at the Kirov plant after reports that no evacuation alert had been …

The humiliation of Tom Homan

The humiliation of Tom Homan

Published by Sam Flores

Tom Homan has spent years constructing the persona of a man who never backs down. Donald Trump’s border czar is the hard man of immigration enforcement: scowling, blunt, perpetually indignant and seemingly unburdened by doubt. While other officials offer qualifications, Homan offers threats. He does not merely support mass deportation. He appears to relish being its public face. Then Trump made him twist himself into a pretzel on national television. After Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers fatally shot two men during vehicle encounters in Houston and Maine within six days, the Department of Homeland Security temporarily suspended most ICE vehicle stops. Homan defended the decision on July 14 as a limited tactical pause. Agents could follow people and arrest them after they left their cars, he explained, while stopping people inside moving vehicles could place officers in greater danger. The decision and his reasoning sounded almost responsible. Two people were dead. Serious questions had been raised about ICE tactics. The administration would take a moment to review its training and protocols before another encounter ended …

Keir Starmer and Donald Trump (Image: Getty) Sir Keir Starmer will resign after “failing badly” on migration, Donald Trump has said. The US president attacked the Prime Minister amid speculation that he would announce his departure from No 10 as soon as tomorrow. Writing on his Truth Social platform, Mr Trump said: “Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. “He failed badly on two very important subjects – IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him well! President DJT.” TV host Piers Morgan stuck the knife in as he posted on X: “BREAKING: President Trump confirms Keir Starmer is resigning as Prime Minister… before Starmer has confirmed it himself. The final humiliation.” Mr Trump and Sir Keir have clashed repeatedly over the two topics in the past 18 months, with the US president calling on the Prime Minister to adopt a stricter border policy. Last month, Mr Trump said it would be “tough” for Sir Keir to survive Labour’s historic defeat in the local election, and called on him …

Humiliation for Putin as Russia suspends huge oil refinery after Ukraine’s strikes | World | News

Published by Sam Flores

One of Russia’s largest oil refineries has been forced to halt operations following a wave of Ukrainian drone strikes, dealing a fresh blow to Moscow’s energy infrastructure. On Tuesday, May 5, the Kirishinefteorgsintez oil refinery in Russia’s Leningrad region suspended activity after three of its four crude distillation units were damaged, according to two industry sources cited by Reuters. The facility is understood to be the country’s second-largest refinery. The attack forms part of a broader escalation in Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign, which has intensified over the past two months. The strategy focuses on targeting critical elements of Russia’s oil industry, a key pillar of its war economy. Satellite data from NASA’s FIRMS monitoring service recorded thermal anomalies at the refinery site, indicating possible fire damage in the aftermath of the strike, United24 Media reports. Ukrainian drones directly targeted the facility in the town of Kirishi, causing large-scale disruption. Leningrad region governor Alexander Drozdenko said Russian air defences had intercepted 18 drones over the area, adding that emergency crews were working to contain fires caused …
