BuddieinEK Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 It’s all geopolitics, always has been, always will be. War is good for business... Now would be a good time to get on a trading app and lump on to arms companies. [emoji185] War, or even the threat of war, is also enough to make the gullible population believe that we actually need a government to protect us. In reality, most things can be / are run privately, without much need for government influence. The only thing they really do is select where money is allocated and arrange for your bins to be collected. A full government shut down could happen (like it did in America recently over Trump’s wall) and we could probably get on reasonably if we all made the effort as a population.Exactly as George Orwell pointed out in 1948 when he wrote 1984!Can you believe that double plus good book is 71 years old?

Guest TPAFKATS Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 America drone shoot down by Iran. Iran saying it was in their air space. While America said it was in International waters. Expect more of this nonsense. Similar to the royal navy rib incident a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Dems fix their elections so Hilary wins again, then it’s a walkover for Trump and a second straight term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently quite a few of the Democratic hopefuls are out-polling Trump in opinion polls at the moment. Bernie Sanders was outpolling Trump as well. Unfortunately the DNC had no intention of letting Sanders get near that leadership position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has this incident been referred to VAR? contact was made outside the box, however the attacker came to ground on the line. Seriously though, how are the iranians meant to differentiate between an armed and an unarmed drone? The US are on a fishing mission and it's a high stakes game. They are trying to look tough without being seen as an all out aggressor, but they forget that all the other shit they pull with Iran, and several other countries for that matter, get's taken into account when someone decides if they need to take action.

Lord Pityme Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 What will happen is an escalation caused by a trigger happy Iranian revolution guardsman on a british ship. We will go in, or drop in and Trump will shrug his shoukders and say 'nothing to do with me'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
