  1. Wants pinning somewhere does this!
  2. PS Russia are actually half decent at counter insurgency I’m led to believe. For no other reason really than they have no rules. They’ll find an insurgents family and just cut bits off of them until the insurgent hands themselves in! Then again, these insurgents to be are likely every bit as savage.
  3. To clarify, Russia controlled area is solid red, contested is stripped. But socks is still right really, they couldn’t hold the ground they initially took in the north as they were overstretched in the east and south. They have consolidated their efforts on the south and east and look to be actually achieving something their now. No one can tell me it’s going to plan for Putin though. He didn’t have a punt at Kyiv for any other reason than Kyiv was the key to the whole of Ukraine. They gave up because they realised they bit off more than they could chew. They may eventually dig in an
  4. This is the MoDs view. Today, a month ago and two months ago.
  5. Seems like even Russia are saying they don’t know… According to Russian media reports, the speaker of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov could not confirm or deny the information. “No, we do not have such information,” he said. UPDATE: Russian Navy warship Admiral Makarov on fire - 'no information to corroborate reports' - Euro Weekly News EUROWEEKLYNEWS.COM REPORTS that the Russian Navy warship 'Admiral Makarov' is currently on fire after being... A bit odd. Normally Russia flat out deny deny deny.
  6. As far as I’m aware the west hasn’t confirmed or commented which raises eyebrows tbh.
  7. Costs f**k all to give someone a genuine compliment and usually makes a hell of a difference to that person. The world needs more of that.
  8. Membership of the EU means that the member state accepts that EU law has supremacy over their own national laws. So in that sense no, sovereignty has been lost. However, the EU don’t have supremacy over every aspect of government rule. So in that sense sovereignty is split between the supranational EU government and the national member state governments. However, lol, membership in the European Union is a choice, a choice which a member state has total sovereignty over (interestingly not the case with the federation of states which make up the USA). So in that sense I suppose member
  9. Wasn’t the turning point basically the last general election when nationalists won more seats than unionists? That was surely an earthquake for Irish politics.
  10. Apparently the Russian frigate the Makarov has been hit…
  11. I don’t think I’ve ever voted in a council election. I honestly couldn’t give a f**k for that level and the last thing democracy needs is uneducated votes.
  12. Until he gets us to Mars he shouldn’t be allowed to buy anything!
  13. I had ‘archangel’ providing over watch the whole time. He was running a 11.9ftlb .22. I don’t take chances!
  14. He lived local to me and I went to see him in person. He was a sound fella and skilled.
  15. I once sold a .177 in an Aldi car park and had a mate for muscle if it went sideways. So yes, I’d say so.
  16. It bothers me that he seems to credit Churchill with big stick diplomacy.

    So you might say the free market righted itself
  19. They’ll have had MBDA and DSTL sat down considering how to mitigate that risk. It’s also a huge opportunity for a field trial… I can see them being fitted to some sort of vehicle to evade the Russians, teamed up with their drones to locate and recon the enemy. Program the missiles with that enemy location and force data, fire them off and let them hunt. On a shore battery, it’ll deny Russia the use of any small landing crafts for an amphibious landing and make using large landing ships a bit lively to say the least!
  20. I love that the MoDs comms satellite network is called Skynet and it even predates the film franchise.
  21. Not really sure what it is. I think there’s a risk that if we don’t merge with ai then we’ll be replaced by it. But I’d rather we stayed in touch with nature rather than completely leave it. So no I don’t think I’d be in favour of transhumanism really.
