Slava Ukraini!

Good point. Not everyone swears like a trooper. I’m ex British army so can live with it. But I wouldn’t swear in mixed company or in front of my daughter, even though she is over 21.

In the process of moving home from an upstairs flat to a bungalow.

Looking forward to having a garden after decades of not, but also there is space for a dishwasher! Also a loft that will save £40 per month from storage fees.

And a kitchen that’s larger than a galley in a small boat.

Agree, we should have been paying attention years ago.

Overdue - more national media needs to take this step.

The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.

It’s not like they weren’t warned though.

I’m in the artillery man, play it LOUD!

Stale white bread at that.

They’re not even hiding are they?

They may as well just superimpose a swastika on their logo and have done with it.

Good. Let’s get them all to defect/surrender. They’ll have a better quality of life this side of the fence.

We’ll build our own Linux, with blackjack and hookers!

I didn’t know he had US citizenship.

Isn’t that foreign interference in the election, what with him being born in South Africa?

Superb work. Let’s see more of it.

No, you’re thinking of NATO. But nobody should be shooting at UN forces. If the UN had any balls, they’d not have let Israel (or Hamasl) in there in the first place. Israel are just taking the piss now and they’ll continue until they’ve decided otherwise.

This has been going on in some form or another for quite some time. There is an excellent BBC documentary by David Dimblebly from a few years ago that is worth watching. He travelled across Russia and this was going on all over. Ex military in schools teaching weapons drill and love for the motherland. Nor sure when it changed from motherland to fatherland. Maybe when Putin decided to come out of the nazi closet.

Military with sigint and some long range radars. Quite a bit if info available online.

I’m probably on some sort of list now :-)

Let them loose!

All the better for China then - they don’t give a flying friar about anyone else.

China doesn’t give a flying friar about anyone else. The fact that this could make launches difficult for them is neither here nor there.

They really don’t care.
