Sky News host James Macpherson says the media’s reaction to Rishi Sunak’s “bold” declaration that women don’t have penises, shows how unserious the western world is right now. “Imagine explaining to the people of 1923 that in 2023, declaring women don’t have penises would be a bold statement to make,” Mr Macpherson said. “It’s also bold to say water is wet and the sky is blue.” [Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhb-Sy80zIc)

Set in the 23rd century it follows, Johnny Rico & his friends while serving in the military under the Earth world government the United Citizen Federation. Humanitys exploration & colonisation of outer space brings them into conflict with an alien species known as Arachnids leading to an interstellar war. Starship Troopers stars Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Patrick Muldoon & Michael Ironside. Since its release Starship Troopers has been critically re-evaluated & is now considered a cult classic. In the 23rd century Earth is governed by the United Citizen Federation a military organization founded generations earlier by the "veterans" after democracy and social scientists brought civilization to the brink of ruin. Citizenship is gained only through federal service which grants rights restricted from ordinary civilians such as voting or breeding. Now spacefaring humans conduct colonization missions throughout the galaxy bringing them into conflict with a race of highly evolved insectoid creatures dubbed "Arachnids" or derisively, bugs. Despite the protestations of his parents about the risks Johnny Rico enlists for Federal Service as a mobile infantryman to remain close to his girlfriend Carmen Ibanez. Their psychic friend Carl Jenkins joins Military Intelligence while Isabelle "Dizzy" Flores who is in love with Rico deliberately transfers to his squad. Carmen eventually breaks up with Rico because their career paths separate them & she has developed a mutual attraction for fellow pilot Zander Barcalow. During training Rico impresses drill sergeant Zim earning a promotion to squad leader but makes a mistake during a training exercise causing the death of one of his squad & the resignation of another resulting in his demotion & flagellation. Rico resigns from the military but reneges after learning that an asteroid sent by the Arachnids has destroyed Buenos Aires killing millions including his parents. An invasion force is deployed to Klendathu the Arachnids home planet but the military intelligence underestimates the Arachnids defensive abilities leading to thousands of troop deaths. Badly wounded Rico is rescued by lieutenant Jean Rasczak his former high-school teacher but is mistakenly reported dead devastating Carmen. Following his recovery Rico, Dizzy & squadmate Ace Levy join Rasczaks special forces unit the "Roughnecks". Rico eventually earns the rank of Corporal for his feats against the Arachnids including killing a gigantic "Tanker Bug" on Tango Urilla & becomes romantically involved with Dizzy. The Roughnecks respond to a distress call on Planet P where they reconnoitre an Arachnid-ravaged outpost but are quickly overwhelmed by the bugs. Carmen & Zander recover the surviving Roughnecks by dropship but not before Dizzy is killed & Rico is forced to euthanize the mutilated Rasczak. The group returns to the fleet assembled in orbit above P where Dizzy is eulogized. Jenkins now a high-ranking colonel explains the Roughnecks were deliberately sent into the trap justifying it as a necessary sacrifice to prove the existence of a "Brain Bug" an intelligent Arachnid strategically directing the others. He grants Rico command of the Roughnecks & field-promotes him to lieutenant ordering that he return to P to capture the Brain Bug. As the battle commences Carmens ship is destroyed by the Arachnids, forcing her & Zander to flee in an escape shuttle that crash lands into an underground tunnel system. The pair are captured by the Arachnids & the Brain Bug uses its proboscis to consume Zander's brain, absorbing his knowledge. Rico sends his squad to complete their mission while he, Ace & their squadmate Watkins find Carmen & hold the Arachnids at bay with a miniature nuclear bomb. The Brain Bug escapes while the Arachnids attack & mortally wound Watkins who sacrifices himself by detonating the bomb while his teammates escape. On the surface they learn that Zim has captured the Brain Bug & the assembled troops rejoice as Jenkins psychically detects it is afraid. A propaganda advertisement details how the Brain Bug is being invasively studied to learn its secrets & ensure humanitys victory. The advert encourages the viewers to enlist & do their part in the war so they can become like Carmen, now captain of her own ship & Rico, who enthusiastically leads his troops into another battle.
