So what? They all get together and fix the price? It’s total nonsense.

I must have dreamt it all then. BPs performance,

Oil demand dropped to basically nothing meaning the industry had to cut its overheads (staff) to get the supply back in line with demand. The price dropped because supply exceeded demand: Demand rapidly rose again and industry hasn’t got its capacity back up to deliver the supply to meet that demand. So the price shoots up because demands exceeds supply. There will still be a lot of hesitation from the industry to grow capacity by recruiting and investing due to uncertainty, but it’ll happen and the price will balance. Assuming the world steadies. It was a very good year for the indu

I'd have all the roads gravel and all the trains steam if I had my way! I'm hearing a lot of people saying things like "the oil companies are profiteering" etc and I'm yet to see a scrap of evidence or real reasoning to justify that. Like companies get to decide what they charge... great, yeah I'll do that on Monday and see if I've still got a job when I won't turn up for less than a double my salary. No one gave a shit a year and more ago when fuel was cheap and the industry was going through hell. Now demand is up and the industry is doing well everyone wants blood. It's got nothi

What's false about the price rise?

Either the Geneva or Hague conventions protect PoWs. The DPR aren’t signatories but not following this international norm usually has consequences. Non that they likely care about as they are utterly under putins thumb.

Firing squad with a month to appeal. Strictly speaking it’s not Russia, it’s the DPR. Aiden at least had been in Ukraine for four years serving in their armed forces and, I believe has a Ukrainian wife. He previously volunteered with the peshmerga in Syria, but had no military experience otherwise. I dunno what motivates him tbh but I think it wouldn’t hurt some folks to cut him a bit of slack tbh. Maybe at least read more than a headline.

Didn’t expect it but not surprised. They f***ing hate us over all this.

That won't be fun... A lot of places in the middle east that would be great to go to. The unstable nature of the region only adds to the adventure. Not much of a story '15 years in an Iraqi prison for taking a pile of rocks'.

They now have a ship named after them in honour. The USS The Sullivans.

Bet he wasn’t vaccinated!

I think the yanks did a study and decided that firepower won battles, not calibre. So they wanted troops to be able to carry more ammunition. Early trials in Vietnam showed some serious wounds and killing power but I think that was put down to the specific round tested which tumbled on impact. Interestingly it looks like the yanks are now going to go to an intermediate calibre. The 6.8mm sig has won the contract. Army expects Next Generation Squad Weapon to get to its first unit by next year WWW.ARMYTIMES.COM An unloaded XM5 rifle is two pounds heavier

The battle rifle of the falklands was 100% the SLR, yes. Both sides used them. Only units that didn’t would be special forces I think, who by then had armalites. Brit rifles were semiauto and argue rifles were full auto.
-
Oberon class. We could do with a fleet of conventional subs now tbh. The Tristram is now a special forces training ship. Just around the corner from Poole.
-
Just realised the Galahad was the same class of ship. That just made this cooler.
-
Seemed like the place to post this rather than a new thread. This is RFA Sir Tristram, served in the Falkland’s and even survived being bombed. Can’t be many vessels left from that era now. Maybe only the Conqueror? We got up close…
-
Yes. And suicides I suppose, which usually represent 50% of gun deaths. It is still a significant stat but it’s been produced with an agenda and so worded to suit.
-
That wasn’t the wording. School age children killed by guns was the wording right? It’s still a very significant stat.
-
Ban bans! Before they banned them it wasn’t cool. Lift the ban ten years later and all of a sudden they have infamy!
-
Yeah but they were legal before 94 too. It was a ten year ban. Why wasn’t there a spike in mass shooting before the ban? What did the ban achieve?
-
Ah, a rare example of an educated southerner, capable of breaking the nation down into more than two regions!

It's Grantham... It's not a melting pot of humanity's finest.

With food crisis looming, Milley says using military to end Russian blockade would be ‘high risk’ WWW.DEFENSENEWS.COM Amid mounting calls to break Russia’s blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports for grain exports, America’s... To me this is close to being as escalatory as enforcing a no fly zone. One of the key difference being, the consequences of inaction are more keenly felt and so more motivating. Strategic outcomes aside, a no fly zone would've simply reduced Ukrainian civilian deaths, it wouldn't have helped us safe in the West. Whereas allowin

There’s absolutely no detail. I’m surprised quite how bold it appears in being an EU alternative. Seems almost like he’s trying to threaten the EUs integrity and is capitalising on Britains bolstered soft power post Ukraine.

Shooting On May 24, 2022, Salvador Rolando Ramos and his 66-year-old grandmother had an argument over a phone bill at their home in Uvalde, during which he shot her in the forehead before taking her Ford pickup truck.[43][44][45] She survived and sought help from neighbors while police officers were called in.[46] She was then airlifted to a hospital in San Antonio in critical condition.[47][48] Using his Facebook account, Ramos sent three private messages to a 15-year-old girl from Germany whom he had met online prior to the shooting:[49][50] the first to say that he was going to shoot hi
