WAR! What is it good for?

****ing hell Fosse PMSL

 

I don't know why I laughed at that, I think my brain misread it.

 

Iran got no time for the United States and why should they

Advice coming from the last nation to use a nuke sounds a bit rich to the majority of the rest of the world

only in the West is the States accepted as some kind of guiding light, the rest just tolerate them at best but don’t respect them in reality and nor does Isreal tbh

 

Yup ... not sure anybody still buys the narrative that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 'necessary' to end the war ... Japan would have been totally isolated with the surrender of the Nazis... what could they really have done?

 

I can promise you mate, the US is no guiding light for me. Some of the bedlam they've caused around the world is just as bad, so I certainly wouldn't hold them up a shining light. Trouble is we are only a tinpot little island and we might need their muscle for help one day....like doing a deal with the devil so to speak.

 

if that was their reasoning then it’s safe to say that was not the real reason because as has been proven time and time again, that’s what the USA do to get what they want, tell lies.

 

With my cynical hat on - I now suspect it was partly some pre-cold war cock waving ... 'look what we could do you...' the irony is that they then became the biggest bleaters about any other country trying to develop such barbaric weapons ....

 

Trouble is with the UK we get involved in way too many things beyond our capability, whether that be direct confrontation or the supplies of military weapons and all we achieve in doing is causing more and more people to hate us. I sometimes think, like with Ukraine, why the **** can't we keep our noses out for once, sadly the world don't work like that. And one day someone is just going to have a pop at us and say to **** with the consequences, that's probably my biggest fear.

 

Who wouldn’t love revenge on the colonialists and empire chasers

we could just be like Switzerland and chill but we want to be big bollocks so it’s possible someone might just get pissed off enough to land a few blows on us one day

hopefully near Sucky for full bantz

 

No, US own intelligence said that they weren’t making a bomb. If they had any clear evidence that they were. They would have fired the bunker busters a long time ago.

If you get a chance to listen to it on iPlayer, listen to the former head of MI6 who was on the today programme this morning. He gives a good explanation as to why Iran were enriching so much uranium…so that they could garner leverage against sanctions.

 

Let’s not forget which county gave Iran nuclear capabilities in the first place under the ‘atoms for peace’ plan.

 

The same one that gave the world Osama Bin Laden and ISIS

 

Yeah exactly Spurly, that's one thing we agree on, why can't we be just like Switzerland, I know it's tied to our past history, but I just hate it. If push come to shove we'd be ****ed without support if it did kick-off, I know people say we got nukes, but I'm like oh great, why not ping that **** about, great help that would be for me and you. I'd have to know the radius of the nuke before I agree near Sucky.

 

And what do we have now ? Israel and Iran lobbing missiles at each other, the US, UK, France and Germany at risk of being pulled into all out conflict with Iran.

I’m not saying that one meeting would have kept them in check, what I’m saying that is that this is the process that the world should be pursuing to keep all nuclear proliferation in check.

But your mate Netanyahu wants war, for a multitude of reasons.. and to hell with the consequences for every innocent person who happens to be unlucky enough to be in the way of his agenda of death and destruction.

 

And praised the mighty Mujahideen when they were doing the dirty work fighting the commies.

 

Coz our chocolate is ****e ... way too much sugar and nowhere near enough cocoa solids ....




















.... much more sensible responses are also available ...

 

Don't think a lot of people in the West have time for the US these days either tbh

 

Reminds me of that message at the end of one of the Rambo films.

 

I’m old enough to remember when the Taliban were heroes

 

Me too ... the 'gallant freedom fighters' opposing the Soviet threat... whilst I deplore their ideology, particularly in regard to women's rights (or the lack of) - no denying they gave both the Russians and the Yanks a bit of a humbling lesson ...
