In 2000 I did a few months on HMS ocean, the newest ship in the fleet and what was meant to be the pride of the navy. It was a fkin disgrace, constantly in for repairs. I think the navy got 20 years out of it. That makes grim reading. Disgraceful. Quote

We should be fighting at least a war a year. Who cares if those orchestrating it are committing ethnic cleansing, or run by a total mad man. Fuck it join in, we still need to show a backbone. Rule Britannia I reckon TMGJ has a flag business to wrap the coffins in at Brize Norton Quote

In fact the Israelis were selling the Argies weapons during the conflict. So we owe them sweet fuck all. Quote

I'd expect stuff to start getting quite tasty in the Strait of Hormuz now as well, as Iran have threatened to have a pop at anything that attempts to sail it Quote

My AI reckons it was almost certainly a missile that was deflected or went of course and is massively unlikely to have been aimed at Turkey deliberately (which would seem like a terrible move). And also explains why Turkey dealt with it independently and haven't called a NATO meeting. Thank god at least someone seems to have kept a cool head. For now at least. Quote
gonzo Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Never thought I'd see the day I agree with Tucker Carlson. If adapted to the UK of course. The far bigger threats to the UK and our way of life than Iran. Quote

The far bigger threats to the UK and our way of life than Iran. Absolutely. Must admit, I thought a few months ago all MAGA folk were complete loons. I’ve changed my mind when you hear folk such as MTG and now ol’ Tucker actually speaking half-sense wrt Trumpy’s foreign policy. Let’s just hope the world doesn’t burn before the mid-terns when hopefully some checks and balances can be restored in the US Senate & House. Quote

Yeah I had him down as a sycophant/mouthpiece for MAGA to be fair. Interesting to see his take on this...... Quote

Well at least he's consistent so he's gone up a bit in my estimation. It's people who change their mind depending on who is doing or saying something that wind me up. People shouldn't be so ready to abandon their principles in favour of belonging to a "camp" Quote
Winchester White Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Loads of the MAGA lot are furious now about the Epstein debacle and being huge America first disciples they thought there would be no more wars costing billions. What they have found is wildly unpredictable tariffs are harming businesses, Epstein is still a cover-up and Trump has not been the president of peace they thought he would be. Who'd have thunk'it!?
