There are 3 countries left who are not influenced by the central bank.

Cuba
North Korea
Iran

It was recently Syria but now they are under the influence of the central banks.

Thankfully there is nothing in that statement saying we supported the strike. Lets hope it stays that way

True, but we can conclude that either:

1. Raab said, "ok, fine by me crack on Mike"
2. Raab objected and the good ole boys ignored him (and us)

Given that Pompeo said he was "thankful that our allies recognise the continuing aggressive threats posed by the Iranian Quds Force", then I'm assuming it was #1

That's some assumption you made there. This decision was taken by Trump alone by all accounts and nothing we had to say on the matter would have had a bearing either way. Even the American House of representatives was in the dark on the attack.

Bombed Iran without John Bolton. I bet he was sobbing into his cornflakes this morning

Iranian backed militia attacks the U.S. Embassy killing an American contracter, the Americans retaliate by killing the Iranian commander of its proxy armies yet America is in the wrong

This has been building up since he withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. Trump, with his personality, is very tit-for-tat and I can see this escalating further. We need him to de-escalate things, like Obama did, but it’s a bit late now since the attack has happened

A simple assassination could prevent a load of misery.

You could do with a geography 101 course.

Not for CCFC. It's purely a training exercise for those players who have played the least number of competitive games.

Really? I'm surprised you haven't blamed the Jews yet.

Will we be fielding a full strength team tomorrow, or will it be the same one that played QPR?

Curently the Confederates

You should know better. Every year since the 60's we have fielded a weakened side so as not to have the burden of extra games. Some years it didn't work and we couldn't lose for love nor money.
