They were being resupplied by plane, airport to airport without even needing aerial refuelling. You said game set and match which means a conclusive victory. It wasn’t at that point.

100% Yeah conquorer was the first big ‘f**k around and find out’ statement of the war. My comment regarding sitting it out was in reference to conquorer not being singly conclusive (game set and match). The occupation force wasn’t dependent on naval resupply so although a hugely impactful event there was much left to do.

The sinking of the Belgrano was a decisive and historic event. But without the equally as decisive actions of many other elements of the task force the war couldn’t have been won. The entire Argentine navy was eliminated with that sinking but the land forces were still being supplied by hercs and the air war was still active from mainland bases. If the harriers hadn’t completely outperformed what was expected from them, if 3 para hadn’t shown the grit and professionalism they had, if 40 Cdo hadn’t yomped when their rides didn’t turn up, if the Vulcans hadn’t put a big target on the m

Not much of f**k all has really changed in the past 12 months. Russia failed to achieve anything close to a successful invasion and Ukraine, with all the support the West dares to give, have failed to fully achieve the goals of their counteroffensive. Wasn't it six weeks it took the coalition to completely invade Iraq? This will continue now until both sides have had enough of the shit and stalemate and the new lines on the maps are accepted.

He had me a good en until about three hours into a podcast he starts speculating that psycadelic powered telekinesis was used to move ancient megaliths!

I’d imagine it was half useful back in the days of iron sights. But with modern firearm/optics technology I can’t see any kind of keeper really getting value out of one. Maybe a bit controversial but I’d say camo patterns don’t kill much either.

There was a woman he saved that day, she’s done a podcast too, and written a book. Next long drive I’ll listen to that. CC is on thin ice with ‘His majesty’s Government’ so didn’t talk much about it.
-
I don’t particularly like Shawn tbh CC has an interesting story, and it was the first time I ever heard he had done a podcast.
-
For some reason that guy and another yank, Shawn Ryan, have popped up on my social media a bit recently. Anyway, Shawn did a podcast with Christian Craighead (alias) that I listened to on a long drive. I found it very interesting, particularly the guys faith and sense of purpose.

I begeth your f***ing pardon!

He lives there doesn’t he?

About as much substance to their statement as me saying it tbh. Anyone can state they are considering it. It’s another thing to say it’s a goal/objective. It’s entirely different to then actually fund it with a sensible delivery plan and achieve it. The space game is full of wishful thinking and ambitious ‘intentions’.

Only today I was trying to get my mate to release wild boar in a wood in Leicestershire Ill tell him not to bother!

What does your man at Hereford have to say on it?
-
lol, because you’ve always thought so highly of soldiers! You'll literally use anything in your argument when it suits.

Picking up etiquette. Here in the midlands and I think the south pickers up only put there dogs on runners mid-drive. Up north they pick everything during the drive.

On the OP I suppose the first question I would need to know is who’s the ‘enemy’ and what are their goals and motives? I suspect even the most modern-Britain hating commenters on this thread would fight for what we have if the enemy was a giant Muslim caliphate looking to rape their way from Dover to Dundee!

I’m the ying to wilfs Yang!

You’re bias has affected your conclusion. An equally valid alternative conclusion would be that public school education places a higher value on military service and therefore leads to disproportionate representation. Which I suspect your bias would have led you too if the subject group was one you naturally view more favourably. In fact due to this disproportionate representation Eton alumni were disproportionately represented in death stats in WWI iirc. That privilege too?

We have all our production in the UK too currently. All boards batteries and tooled parts are made in China from our designs though. As our products become globally recognised over the next 12-24 months I can see production being moved there too. I deal a lot with third party products that we integrate with our ecosystem from various others, Lithuania, Australia, the Netherlands. But again a lot of their boards will be sourced from the east. Everyone does.

That constitute proof to you? Lol Directed energy weapons have been a thing for at least ten years! Re world war doom mongering, there’s at least one a year.

Absolutely, I just think it’s nuanced. Neither extreme is true. My only comment re oil was the D’Arcy oil company was exploiting Persian reserves hard and fast way back when. Strategically important supply chains and skills should be protected, you won’t find an argument from me there. But so what if we make a bobble hat in Bangladesh! To make it here would mean shitty wages to remain competitive, an expensive product to maintain high wages or a tax subsidised product. Certain countries we won’t want to do business with for moral or geopolitical reasons. Again no argument. But doing
