    Honestly, I'm less concerned with Iran having nuclear weapons than America having them, considering who's in charge of the Big Red Button right now.


    Mmmmmmmm ... hoping you're half joking there Maarky Maark. I can see your point though regarding Dear Leader Trump.
    But in all seriousness (what? I can do serious), I believe (hope!) the checks and balances on nukes in the USA are better than what would be in a fundamentalist theocracy that seems to be more concerned with the next world and how to get into it than this one. Or it's own people.

    Honestly, I think the strikes were probably too much of an escalation, too soon. May have had more support for something like them a bit further down the line. It's not going to win them any friends. But then again, who knows? The only predictable thing in this whole mess is the unpredictability. And Bibi and Trump doing whatever they think will benefit themselves in the short term.

    I'm no expert in nuclear geopolitics, so I can't comment on how soon Iran may have had the ability to a- create a bomb and b- project it by however means.

    Well, that will just add further weight to his Nobel recommendation for sure, right?

    Good old Pakistan. Consistent as always. Stay corrupt as fuck there guys.

    Pakistan to recommend Donald Trump for Nobel Peace Prize
    As the world nervously watches escalating tensions in the Middle East, one nation says it will formally recommend Donald Trump for the world’s top peace prize.

    I've seen a few posts purporting to be from military folks in the states who said a lot of that was a sly form of resistance like they had to do this on a day off so we're gonna tdo the bare minimum which would explain a lot. It also made the moron quite upset by the looks of it (especially looking at the meagre crowd sizes) and overall anything that achieves that is a cause for celebrations!

    It was worse than I expected. They marched in the army combat uniform and didn’t even march in lock step. How well the army marches has nothing to do with how well they fight but honestly it looked so bad that it made the army look weak. Terrible optics all around.
    Large formations that march in perfect lockstep obviously have nothing better to do and are only good for parades.Do you realise how much practice is required to get more than a few dozen soldiers to march perfectly? Even just a march past? A LOT. A lot of time that could be spent doing pretty much anything else that has actual value.
    I have no desire for the us military to spend any more time or money practicing marching. Still the parade was so lackluster that it looked lame. I’d put any random army of the us military against any random NK battalion but nevertheless im sure Americas foes got a laugh out of this parade.Also who in the god damn whitehouse thought it would be a good idea to pay millions for this parade and still get corporate sponsors. Or more specific sponsors would be fine, have a banner somewhere but to periodically interrupt the parade to thank crypto sponsors and energy drinks company is so tacky. The us army proudly brought to you by …..


    Yeah, I've seen some of the footage and that may very well be the case for some of the soldiers. I pity the fuck out of those guys though when their senior NCOs, Sergeant Majors and Warrant Officers get their hands on them. Even if they hate Trump's guts they'll not tolerate anything that brings their service into disrepute. I foresee many, many shitty duties for any identified troops who their seniors think did it half-arsed. Probably missing out on promotion courses, sweet trips, put on every shitty exercise, painting rocks and digging holes, you name it. An elephant's memory is long, but not as long as an angry senior's. Elephants don't do as much damage when they are angry, either.

    EDIT: and not to forget the drill "retraining". Dear God, it would be hours and hours every day out in the sun, with just enough breaks for water and shade as mandated by the work/rest ratio tables. No more than that. And it's summer over there isn't it?

    Thank you! Yeah I'm at a pretty safe distance, fortunately. I know a few people who have been impacted, but they're all safe.

    Yes, I am aging like the Emperor Skeksis from The Dark Crystal. But thank you kindly! It's both cold and sandy (and there's a couple tumbleweeds outside too) but I'll get by!

    Hey hows it going? As you said, getting older but probably no wiser! Kids and grandkids all getting older too and starting to stare retirement in the face. Not sure if that's good or bad! Hope all is
    good with you.

    Cheers mate, honestly the bad news was just relentless at one point but on the mend now at least.
    That made me laugh too as I've resorted to playing the lottery lately as it'll be the only escape I get heh!
    Glad you're doing well bud, I just tell myself I am getting wiser rather than older haha!!
