Thank god someone on this thread actually realises this.
-
Entirely plausible, but given what’s happened since then I think there is a shit ton of motive for a state that has no limits and is very clearly leading the US by the nose here, to be the masterminds. This war has given the Israel assassination theory a heap of credibility.
-
And he’d have been a massive opponent to this war and being influenced by Israel.
-
Makes you wonder who was behind Charlie Kirk’s killing with what’s happened since then… Before all this I was probably broadly a supporter of Israel. Now I wouldn’t trust them as far as I could chuck them.
-
Who knows at this point. His language implies that. However even this deep I’d hope sense would prevail. If the yanks used a nuke then that would be them completely isolated and force the rest of the developed world into the hands of china and India imo. I think even the gulf states would isolate them as they would bare the brunt of the fallout. Considering the professional opinion of the US intelligence community was that Iran was not developing a nuke, in fact there was even a fatwa against it, then nuking them would not be judged by the world or history as justified.

I see this shit everywhere now . Kms of palisade fencing along a railway line bounded by fields instead of cheap wire and signs because god forbid a kid gets on it. Traffic lights on a low traffic country road because people walking down the canal footpath might not be able to get across quick enough with half a f***ing mile of visibility either way!

Thanks. All I can say is we’re managing. But child care is a good example, the nursery we use will send him back to us for the slightest excuse. Shit like they wouldn’t even wipe gunk out of his eye without our permission. It’s mental and driven by this paralysing fear of causing harm. It’s costing this country tens of billions id guess and is endemic.

Without going into too much detail, my current job is developing and launching digital products in the global construction industry. I’m working with partners in the industries of the UK, Nordic’s, western and southern Europe, North America, Aus, Middle East. The UK is by far the most overly regulated market I deal with. Countries that we would look to as our societal superiors like the nordics do not have to deal with the regulations that we do.
-
We’re 18th out of over 200 countries! That’s not “very low” imo. The problem we have in this country is regulation. We’ve got huge industries built around our national fear of some c**t stubbing their toe on a non compliant traffic cone etc. we’ve created so much waste out of fear that we now have no money or the bureaucratic freedom to do anything constructive about it. We could spend more but we need to get over this paralysing fear that makes us turn a 10k job into a 500k “programme”.
-
We’re getting worryingly close to finding out the answer to the Fermi paradox!
-
Part of what I think is confusing so many people on this, including the administration at large, is that tactical victories do not equal strategic success. We’re seeing this in Iran, the US has demonstrated an onslaught of tactical masterpieces and yet the strategic outcome is looking far worse than the day before they engaged in bombing the shit out of them. Contrary to supporting the up rising it’s probably caused them to rally around the flag against the US.
-
He’s completely out of his depth now. I genuinely wonder if the job has taken a toll on his mind, which would be completely understandable for a man of his age. For a president that was playing quite tactically on the international stage he has just gone completely off the rails with this. Childish levels of strategy imo.
-
He’s trapped himself on the escalatory ladder now and imo is showing his lack of experience. Up until this Iran war I thought his foreign policy was pretty much bang on in a way that former presidents had not managed. He’s played this terribly imo. And the consequences could be very severe and long lasting for the US and consequently the western world. What an absolute disaster.
-
That surprised me too tbh. Seemed ‘off’ for him. I liked his post about Polanski though, trying not to alienate everyone who feels disenfranchised with the mainstream but are currently left leaning. That shows a lot of political intelligence imo.
-
But then the entire country will go into the next election and vote for more of the same state welfare and other handouts that require the massive amounts of tax in the first place. I read today that for the first time in the UK welfare spending has exceeded income tax!
-
Part way through listening to the Joe Kent / Shawn Ryan Show conversation on this and why he resigned. Fascinating hearing the facts (as he sees them) and just utter sense. More strategy and military experience in his big toe than in Trumps entire inner circle right now.
-
Makes sense. Despite this alleged incident the threat of being shot down will be greatly diminished so they’ll be resting the high end newer airframes as much as practical.
-
Reports of a us jet being shot down over Iran and video of search and rescue aircraft in the sky. US are denying it.
-
Power consumption for a video feed would cost a lot more and provide nothing more in value. Even if it was done to pacify people like you, you’d then just claim it was bollocks.
-
Google… lol.
-
Where? That camera is nearly a million miles away, lol.
-
Nah, for a while that was true but once we got telescopes at the Lagrangian points we had them far enough away in a steady orbit to enable their cameras to view the earth in one image. Here, https://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/
-
What do you mean ‘real time’? Telescopes at the Lagrangians photograph the whole earth daily as far as I’m aware.
-
The first part about politicians I agree with but that is just part of being allies. It’s not a one way street there. The second point, where do I start. In fact wwii is a great start, the us wanted nothing to do with the war in Europe until they got f****d by the japs. Not the American politicians or the public. In fact that sounds an awful lot like the situation we’re in here! They became a supplier of equipment which on the face of it was ally like but let’s not forget charged us handsomely for it! None the less we were greatful. They continued this form even when we were as close as w

Most oil is privately sold to the global market. When there is a global shortage that pushes the price up for everyone. Even the Americans are paying silly prices at the pumps and they have more than they can use. This is the reality of privately owned global industry. If people want that to not be the case then you need a nationalised domestic oil industry. Which would most likely be shit the other 99% of the time.
