The Chinese government murders Uighurs.
Not sure what point you’re trying to make mate, but me saying “the Chinese plan ahead” does not equate to me supporting them.
The Nazis had snazzyy uniforms, did a fantastic job of building motorways and keeping the trains running on time. Doesn’t change the fact they were cunts
It is entirely possible to admire one or two aspects of an individual, organisation or government and still think everything else about them is shitty.
All I can remember from being at primary school in the 80s is that the first three were the only consistent ones.
First the worst, second the best, third the one with the hairy chest.
After that it changed depending on the day/time/vibes
I recall - fourth the dirty donkey, 5th the golden eagle.
We all got bored after that.
Me pointing out that they plan for the long term isn’t me simping for them.
China, unlike the rest of us, plans ahead.
I agree.
It won’t though, Iran is a wounded animal and is lashing out at everyone around it. When the regime’s options are die but take everyone with you, or lay down your arms and probably still end up dead, I cant see them choosing the latter.
You can’t rely on the people either. It isnt Venuezuala, Iranians have spent the last 40 odd years being told how America and Israel are the enemy. You ask any American what they would do if Iran started bombing the USA, and no matter how much they hate Trump I suspect their response won’t be “submit to their demands”.
UK - £1.30 a litre. Been steady like this fir months
America started this by destroying an Iranian water plant.
And now there’s nothing stopping Iran from targeting the UAE’s desalination plants.
Considering the UAE gets over 90% of its fresh water from desalination it seems like this was a monumentally stupid escalation on their part.
Not a spice but when I’m making bolognaise sauce I add a spoonful of marmite at the beginning. Really gives it a savoury meaty boost
Would anyone be surprised if the whole attack on Iran was some underhand way to create an excuse for Trump to lift sanctions on Daddy Putin?
If you think a British stew is bland you’ve evidently never tried a joint of beef slow cooked in beer and gravy for 24 hours.
Yep, absolutely you can.
They would be arguing that you doing something is causing them harm. By using their own words against them you weaken their argument
“Russia manages to seize a small bit of Ukrainian territory”.
There, ftfy.
Orban is a pro-putin piece of shit who needs to go
Literally a fat, orange version of Hitler that Americans are doing fuck all about
First thing you need to realise, the internet has been around in one form or another for decades.
The internet as we know it has been around for over 30 years.
However, before widespread adoption of the internet, viruses were spread either by BBS services or via disk.
As a young Acorn achimedes user in the late 80s and early 90s I would obtain floppy disks with games on from friends, they would have obtained them from other friends who either downloaded them via BBS or bought them from a dodgy market stall. You could also buy them from magazine advertisements (I once bought a few floppy disks with porn on them).
There was always a risk that one of these disks had a virus on. For me it wasnt an issue. The Acorn used ROM to store the operating system and all your other files were kept on disks. We couldn’t afford a hard drive so we were immune, however I did once have a disk that had a virus called Marburg on it according to our virus killer at the time.
I was in the police from early 2004 until end of 2016.
Things were significantly and statistically worse back then, including violence. The kids especially were fucking feral.
I worked in a predominantly rural area and in 2004/2005 our station was firebombed twice, police officers were regularly assaulted and we would have to attend incidents as a three because we needed someone to look after the vehicle whilst dealing with a job.
It wasn’t a friday night if we weren’t having bottles chucked at us from alleyways, and youth drunkeness and antisocial behaviour was rife.
Between 2008 and 2010 i had to deal with four kids who’d stabbed another kid in school, as well as bullying that had gotten so bad it had driven a girl to suicide.
This red vs blue thing in the news isnt a new thing. After school patrols were essential in one area because otherwise they would meet up and try and fight one another.
Over the years we managed to get a grip on it. Council evicted a lot of the troublesome families and we locked up the rest. By the time I left, the job was almost boring.
Its fucking embarrassing that we can’t get any naval assets there for a week.
Like even if the delay is unavoidable, the planners surely could have reasonably foreseen attacks on British military bases
Not gonna be enough in a bunker to keep a horde of survivors happy.
Trump probably thinks Iran is a flat desert suitable for tanks, and not in fact surrounded by mountains.
