Have you read between the lines though, you know, with your nose in the air and ear to the ground.

Have you actually read that article? It only allows for retaliation.

Then you'll now understand and accept that China will most certainly not give the US a free hand in a region they see as theirs and with a country they see as allies.Hoboh wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 12:53 amClearly you never read what I posted, yes I did read it.Lord Kangana wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 7:54 pmAbout 3 lines it, it says it would not stand by if the US initiated first strike.

We really could have saved the last 3 or 4 pages.

Interesting you should say that. Without wishing to get into the current rights and wrongs of who said what and whether they meant it or not, recent history does inform.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 1:33 pmWe sorta made sure that Iraq didn't have any. You've pissed and whinged ever since.
Going as far back as Clinton. the US and others concerned about proliferation were warned that NK and Iran were working jointly on the development of longer range missiles and that rogue elements within the Pakistan military (is there any other type of element in their military?) were sharing nuclear warhead technology with NK. Then was the time to stop it before we got to this stage.
It is also my opinion that Iran, having built up a stockpile of fissile material before the "deal", have also been working covertly and have probably succeeded in producing nuclear warheads.
Re: The Politics Thread
Clearly you have no idea what you post either, you said there was no way the Chinese will accept any action on their doorstep and if you read more closely you will see the Chinese refer to invasion.Lord Kangana wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 7:59 amThen you'll now understand and accept that China will most certainly not give the US a free hand in a region they see as theirs and with a country they see as allies.Hoboh wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 12:53 amClearly you never read what I posted, yes I did read it.Lord Kangana wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 7:54 pmAbout 3 lines it, it says it would not stand by if the US initiated first strike.

Re: The Politics Thread
Wouldn't surprise me with Iran, but in fairness it wouldn't have surprised me with Iraq either. Not sure which American president is pertinent to the conversation particularly - it covers both parties as they've both had more than one go and I'm fairly sure there's been an exchange between Iran and NK since at least the 80's.bedwetter2 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 9:40 amInteresting you should say that.

Well, back: "We’re also planning to paralyze the city itself, using blockades and marches to stop traffic and even public transit. And hey, because we like fun, we’re even going to throw some parties."

It represents an alternative to the traditional right, who were generally speaking a bunch of rich smug bastards. Alt Right are of course rich, smug, racist evil bastards whose many followers have IQs less than their weight in kilograms. At least that is my view.

Good thing we voted out. Now we can have British laws, with British judges. None of this foreign law muck.

An exercise in arch futility.
