    Autopsy Rnd 7 | St Kilda vs West Coast

    Garcia is the man. Have always liked players with a bit of aggro about them. Not a fan of the first 10 minutes of the 3rd, but it all worked out in the end. Feels good to win by lots again. Could sit back and simply enjoy in the 4th.

    Play Nice 47th President of the United States: ████████████ - Part 24: Si buscan capitalismo, aquí está!!

    Tipping the replacement will do Trump's bidding and both lower interest rates & up quantitative easing. The economy will try to go into overdrive and fail. Inflation goes to the moon. Real estate guys love inflation, their property's retain value while their debts lose value.

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    Way to miss the point. It does not matter if they abided by the fine print of the deal. The aid they gave was seen to be too little, too late and hedged with too many prescriptions on its use. and has ceased in any event. They are seen to have reneged on the deal. So they are not trusted...

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    I love the sight of a good oil rain postcard in the afternoon. It has the look of victory about it.

    USA AOC, Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani. The need for strong progressive voices in US politics.

    While I am sure there is dodgy stuff going on in Israel's elections. If the voters if Israel really really wanted him gone they could do what the people of Hungary just did. It is not as if Israel's elections are Russian levels of farce. There is no need for him to win a "convincing majority"...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    1984 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Laoshan But 1979 would also be fine if a single battle is not considered enough to be considered an invasion. There was more fighting between China and Vietnam, but mostly shelling and naval stuff. Not invasions as such.

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    Its called OODA loop superiority. The fall of France in 1940 (6 weeks) is a classic example, where German Blitzkrieg tactics operated at a faster tempo (Observe-Orient-Decide-Act) than the slower, centralized French command. German forces shattered Allied lines by moving faster than the French...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    Granted. But replace Iran with USA, Israel or Russia in your statement and it is just as true. There is no moral high ground here but for the simple fact that Iran is the attacked party.

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    Unacceptable is the attack on Iran in the first place. I do not have it in me to condemn the weaker attacked party for ignoring rules that are ignored by its more powerful attackers. If Spain was actually attacked by Russia, they might well act differently. Not that I would call Spain a major...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    So nations that allow the US to launch strikes on Iran from their territory are not at war. Iran is at least justified in considering them co-belligerents. As for international law, is the attack on Iran legal under international law? No. So a weaker attacked party is to follow some law their...

    Operation Epstein Fury: US/Israel attack on Iran

    If they where at war they just might and would be justified to do so. Take the Montreux convention. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreux_Convention_Regarding_the_Regime_of_the_Straits "Also, Turkey was authorised to refuse transit from merchant ships belonging to countries at war with it."...
