  1. So, I’m disappointed by the sheer volume of boneheads out there misinterpreting what has been said and Piers Morgan. The U.S. is only considering its position on supporting Argentina’s claim to the Falkland Islands. Nowhere has there been any mention of the U.S. taking over sovereign UK territory, which makes Piers Morgan look like an enormous prat for his comments. But what’s new there? And then there are the idiots saying that should Argentina choose, they could just walk into Port Stanley unopposed, such is the parlous state of the UK military. Uninformed opinions such as these can prove exceptionally dangerous, if the media chooses to amplify such false bravado. Contrary to popular opinions in these rumours, President Milei is, at best, ambivalent about the Falklands. For a start, he’s not a military man. Giving the military bragging rights is not that high on his list, given Argentina’s past dalliances with military dictatorships. Then there is the weak, toothless UK military. What we didn’t have last time was the RAF detachment at RAF Mount Pleasant. The four Eurofighter Typhoons stationed there, along with their tanker support, render any aerial threat unwise. They seriously outmatch anything the Argentinians can field and don’t rely on U.S. supplied AAMs to make a real mess of the opposition well outside of visual range. And we can get reinforcements there if needed, either more Typhoons, or F-35B Thunderpigs 🤮 And although the Royal Navy is lacking in surface ships at the moment, a single Astute class hunter-killer submarine would keep the Argentine navy in port. They have nothing that can detect one, as the U.S. navy has found out before. In 1982, the Falkland Islands were “unprepared” to repel an Argentine invasion, some say by neglect and some say by design. This time around, getting an invasion force from the mainland to the Falklands would be prohibitively expensive, in terms of men and matériels, for Argentina to even consider. Even then, rather than a detachment of around 100 Royal Marines, an invasion force would face a UK contingent on the island numbering around 2,000 service personnel. Lastly, should the U.S. actually complete a volte face and support an Argentinian claim, they run the risk of losing the biggest, most reliable aircraft carrier in the U.S. arsenal. The UK itself. And even though Keir Starmer is possibly the most feeble excuse for a PM in history, the fact that it would be the result of U.S. policy might just prompt the Labour Party to get him to stick two fingers up at the U.S. and make it happen. Let’s hope not.
  2. All Black Lives are equal, but some Black Lives are more equal than others. ☠️
  3. Such a shame … not. 🤣 Good riddance.☠️ Next up … Cory Mills.
  4. No. Make it personal. Eliminate the IRGC, one-by-one if necessary. ☠️
  5. The Iranians are still acting to block the Strait of Hormuz. An example needs to be made to emphasise to whatever passes as the current Iranian regime that these actions constitute a breach of the ceasefire and that such actions will engender disproportionate consequences. As has been said elsewhere, negotiating with the Iranian regime is a fools game and a ceasefire just provides them time to recuperate. So long as the IRGC remains in any form, Iran will remain a danger. This conflict only ends one way. So end it. ☠️
  6. Is anyone surprised that the Labour Party are a bunch of gutless cowards? They have no intention of acting in the best interests of UK citizens. They only want to remain in power, by hook or by crook. ☠️
  7. Why does the SPLC need “paid informants” in these groups? As they are not remotely an official law enforcement organisation, their “inside people” should have no expectancy of immunity, should legal action be forthcoming against the group they are embedded within. In addition, their sums of money involved are highly suspicious. Nothing about their explanation passes the sniff test. When combined with their known avenues of fundraising and their well-documented record of extremist bias, the conclusion that the SPLC was providing funding to these groups solely to foment division and hate in order to justify their own continued partisan hate-mongering seems eminently plausible. i hope the actions of the DOJ put an end to their vile, twisted and racist divisiveness and return them to their original purpose. i won’t hold my breath. 🙁
  8. That’s what happens when you provide a “professional” response affirming a biological fantasy that can never result in what the subject believes they want at the time. ☠️
  9. How DARE you misgender as cisgender these distinguished … ummm … persons of a sinister-leaning ideology. ☠️
  10. The UK has been there before. The last time led to the most consequential General Election in my lifetime. i remember the power cuts, the 3-Day week, the strikes, the secondary picketing, all of the misery we lived with. Then came 1979 and Margaret Thatcher. The main problem now is that the main source of opposition has nowhere near her levels of intelligence, resolve, or character. So, basically, the UK is $&@#%¥d. ☠️
  11. Why in Cthulhu’s name would you want to? 😱
  12. Sound rather like Marvin the Paranoid Android … “Here’s me, brain the size of a planet, and what do they have me doing? Parking cars.” 🤖
  13. A fine indicator of just how many people in media and politics need to invest in a good dictionary. 😒
