A listing of "Blastar", a game (most likely) for the Spectravideo 318 / 328 home computer. Written by a young Elon Reeve Musk (he was 13 at the time of publication) and published in the December 1984 issue of the magazine "PC and Office Technology".

On March 17, 2003, Robin Cook (former British Foreign Secretary) gave a speech to try to stop the Iraq war and received a standing ovation in Parliament. He also announced his resignation as leader of the House.
Britain invaded Iraq alongside the U.S. two days later, on March 19, 2003, but it bonded his legacy as a voice of dissent. He also caused a media stir when he said Al-Qaeda was a product of a western intelligence. 4 weeks later while on vacation in the Scottish Highlands, he died suddenly from a massive heart attack in 2005. Tony Blair did not attend his funeral...because he was on vacation.
The struggle against terrorism cannot be won by military means
According to The Economist's obituary, that was the first speech ever to receive a standing ovation in the history of the House.

"The West spent 15 years on a failed plan to contain China. Could Trump fix it?"
There...fixed it for 'ya, Telegraph.
Seriously...how can any clear-headed person think the last 15 years has been anything but failure is beyond me.

Sounds like sabre rattling for war on Iran/Hezbollah while Israel has just re-started bombing Gaza/Hamas. Syria is now cleared of all air defenses and HTS terrorists are now ready for cross border operations and are already fighting Lebanese forces. Trump now has a full plate in dealing with Iran, China, Yemen.

A new "Baghdad Bob" version appears to have come forth for the Houthis. Needs a nickname. "Truthi the Houthi?"

“He looks like anybody you see on the street. But when he grins, birds fall dead off telephone lines...the grass yellows up and dies where he spits. He's always outside. He came out of time...He has the name of a thousand demons. Jesus knocked him into a herd of pigs once. His name is Legion. He's afraid of us...He knows magic. He can call the wolves and live in the crows...He's the king of nowhere.”
