If I were PM I'd be annoyed I couldn't fire him for this, but I see in the article a link to the current outgoing head of the army saying the same thing.

I guess the Tories are so weak now the war nuts think they can get away with this kind of talk.

Yes, or attempts at lightning strikes that force the response to not be defence but invasion of a recently invaded country.

The attack on Ukraine was an attempt at this, and would have fractured NATO had it worked because it would work just as well against Estonia

This is a bit unfair, for all its gigantic problems the creation engine is much better at supporting modding than unity or unreal.

Perhaps a more deterministic scripting engine would be better but it'd be easy to lose the one thing that makes their games good. I still can't believe they thought starfield would work with the modding tools MIA four months out

That level of change is rebuilding the entire surburb to be more dense. There isn't the building capacity to do this to all of them , even if by some miracle you found the money.

You can't make a bus route work when the area it's travelling through is so spread out, it has to stop too much and drive for too long and costs more than it can make in fares.

If you want to change America then good luck, but it'll be your grandchildren that get the benefit should you succeed.

You can't even claim the royal family are lizards anymore.

It's health and safety gone mad.

He once claimed that while food banks were necessary there were too many food banks due to do-gooders starting them to feel better about themselves. And that people could feed themselves on 30p a day if they knew how to budget.

This turned out to be a local food bank that managed to feed a load of people on £50 that worked out to 30p each for one meal. Obviously not something you can do at home however good your budgeting

Messaging is for urbanist and transport subs, this is a place to bellow "fuck cars" until your voice is hoarse.

If you do want a serious discussion of posting here is just going to frustrate you and give you a very weird idea of the movement.

I know right. What are they teaching children at Springfield elementary?

One of the worst ways, absolutely worst ways, to get people to listen to you is for "rural can't survive without cars" people to wade into a post about cities and keep going on about them, as if they're the only ones that matter and city dwellers shouldn't solve their city problems without the permission of someone far away who doesn't live there.

It's just not about you. Please try and have the humility to not act like it is.

I could line by line this but these are civilians working on a ship, they don't choose anything, especially they don't choose where the ship goes which is international waters not Yemeni waters. The attacks are on ships in international waters

[–] FarceOfWill 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Of course they "had ties", international shipping ownership and flag choice is absolute chaos. You can justify almost anything to almost any vessel.

Attacking a civilian ship "Once registered in Britain" thousands of miles away from a country you claim to be blockading is absolutely not a valid target it's an obvious war crime.

The defence of this shit undermines the entire opposition to Israel, the moral argument for stopping Israel from killing civilians is very clear but when the people arguing for it most strongly see attacking other civilians as perfectly fine the entire case starts to look like just a convenient cover for anti semetism.
