Absolutely tragic. No-one knows what’s around the corner.

It was on a straight apparently.

Recently dismantled tactical group "Vuhledar" has been accused of systematic submission of false reports, which created a distorted picture of the situation on the front. Hopefully, the General Staff didn't take reports from them. Source: not "properly independent" Deepstate. Are these Ukrainians?

I've done a bit of work in the O&G sector. I was at Chevron and ExxonMobil in Houston many times. The common thought is that there is well over a century of oil left. Its just the political position to move away from oil has led to a false narrative of dwindling stocks.

I couldn't give a toss. Its the Irish and BOD who keep going on about it.

Too many Irish and English players Looks like they are blaming all this on Marcus, Curry, Cowan-Dickie and van der Merwe. I'd add Aki and Tiupulotu to that list. So, 3 English, 3 SHers. Who is? Vdm and Marcus aren't the greatest under high ball. Akipolotu didn't work, but aki was fine. Curry missed...

IMO this was just a token attack by the US to involve the US in the war without any full scale commitment. The Israeli had control of airspace and been firing missiles fir a week. They could've inflicted any damage done by US bombers. It is unlikely to make Iran surrender. IMO its designed to make ...

Israel have now done everythng the can to be a target of violence for the next 3 generations, and brought the US into the fray as well. Congratulations.

I do think Iran will fold officially after this, but I suspect they will be plotting pretty heavily against US assets in the area long term. Maybe even the US mainland. According to analysts, the risk is this spills over into the Persian Gulf. Well Iraqis may join in bombing their Iranian neighbours.

LandOTurk

Israel is battering everyone they face these days and hardly suffer any damage that isn't reputational. Anyway like moon says, show us what you are seeing. What do you mean show you what I am seeing? Like I said, the USA has laid no groundwork for an imminent war against Iran. This aged like a 2L b...

I predict it's only going to get worse. The fertility rate will continue to collapse around the world as women continue to dominate schooling results. They will start to dominate corporate too when they are unable to find a mate to disrupt their career. More and more boys are failing academically c...

Very sad. What a player. RIP I remember this play - my favourite Welsh try. https://youtu.be/9d8Vr0XeM9g?t=30 But my point being that if you look at the last attempted tackler on Bennett, you see it is Mighty Mouse. He had no right to be there. Modern day prop in terms of work rate. He would have h...

The Iranians should be allowed nukes.

Trump has signed off on attacking Iran. He’s just waiting to see if Iran can change course over the weekend and surrender completely. They won’t change course.

How are the exhiled Pahlavis viewed in Iran?
Haven't a breeze but how often are the sons of despotic kings welcomed back anywhere. Maybe he'll be Charles II and lead to a Glorious Restoration of the Peacock Throne but does anyone really believe it?

Depends on the alternative I guess.

Seems a lot easier in Iran than Afghanistan or Iraq. Not easy and could go sideways, but much more possible based on the culture there. In Afghanistan, you basically only had pedophile war lords as an alternative to the Taliban. I recently watched this documentary from Afghanistan in 2013 and you c...
