UK refuses to let the US use its bases for strikes on Iran: Report
> The UK has not agreed on the US using its air force bases for possible military strikes on Iran which in turn prompted President Donald Trump to withdraw his support for the former’s deal to hand over the Chagos Island to Mauritius, British daily The Times reported on Thursday.
> “The White House is drawing up detailed military plans for a strike against Iran involving the use of both Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, which is home to America’s fleet of heavy bombers in Europe,” the report said.

#Plutocracy is being openly broadcast with complete impunity.
The people screaming about food stam recipients buying soda or potato chips for a few dollars are definitely ok with it and supporting the orange Hitler profiteering from the genocide.

Nearly half of the Lower 48 is in drought this week, with 48.58% in moderate drought or worse. The last time this much of the U.S. was in drought was the week of Nov. 12, 2024.
Snow drought continues to plague much of the West this winter. In the eastern U.S., cold temperatures are freezing precipitation that could eventually bring some improvements.

The effort to build a #US run alternative would re-create systems such as laboratories, data-sharing networks & rapid-response systems the US abandoned when it announced its withdrawal from the #WHO last year & dismantled the US Agency for International Development [ #USAID], according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations.

While #Trump accused the #WHO of demanding “unfairly onerous payments,” the alternative his administration is considering carries a price tag about three times what the #US contributed annually to the #UN #health agency. The US would build on bilateral agreements with countries & expand the presence of its health agencies to dozens of additional nations [starting from scratch], the officials said.
