I think Gordon, Maino and Palmer should be in the squad over Graelish, Rashford and Phillips.

The touch of Ike turner

I started in the 90's which had some good hard multi team competitive seasons, sadly the Schumacher era is often blamed for dominance yet they only won low 50% of races, Mercedes in their first 5-6 years won over 80% and Redbull now are as high if not more dominant.

I am referring to old F1 that allowed no limit to testing and development as long as the car hit standard regulations any changes were allowed at any point.

very happy with the win, Joe Willock's return is massive, but more importantly outside of Wilson and Joelinton who are done for the season we probably have the strongest team we have had since October. Bruno has been playing as more of a attacking player and has unleashed his absolute best, he had an absolutely filthy no look pass that Almiron was unable to tuck away, it was outright filthy. 40 points now so safe from relegation.

Did anyone here actually have any hope that this wasn't going to be Redbull domination again? F1 died many years ago, when the stopped in season development and testing, unlimited upgrades, refuelling, multiple tyre manufacturers and and innovation in general. To stop the Schumacher era which to be fair there were some very tightly contested seasons, they have created three era's of unchallenged dominance. They need to make it that redbull get the "trophies" but the real season is between everyone else.

The geopolitics in place was set up to avoid a situation of Israeli weapons being used to kill Turkish troops who had expansionism intensions. No western ally spoke out about Turkey then by convenience but geo politics is changing and it seems like the west is poised to throw each other under the bus for votes. The Russian/Jewish relationship has always been respectable, Jews that were not captured by the Nazi's fought as resistance fighters initially the Partisans and later the Hakam. After the fall of the Soviet Union and Russia wanting all the Jews out, over 900 000 Jews were allow free passage out of the the former soviet union to settle in Israel. The relationship has always been on the prevision that neither party will interfere in what is deemed existential threat to the other. Due to the changing face of politics these relations are strained. Russia's alliance to Iran and their proxies and their military outpost near Golan is not helping. What this does for Armenia going forward should not be a question directed to Israel but maybe another failing of the west or NATO to do its job. Why are Türkey given a free pass. On Ukraine, should Ukraine be NATO's problem? For me yes however I think the problem is that NATO doesn't have military capability to mobilise and after years of selling off weapons and ordinances there is a mass shortage, it takes a while to mobilise for war, Russia has nearly 2 years head start. the only good thing about this is that the Russian military is pants any sort of cohesive NATO army should be able to sort them out no problems.

Isreal and Moscow have always had a non aggression atypical relationship however Russia have seemed to stir the pot by speaking to parties that are existential threats to Israel. This has now seen Israel sending the iron Dome interception system to Ukraine. Isreal is also releasing intelligence to Western allies pertaining to Russia's dealings and intercepted intelligence. There is a snag, Israel is a small nation, Ukraine is huge but Israel has given build plans, how many and how fast they can be built is up to bigger nations with more resources. It marks a major step considering Israel's general reluctance to supply weapons to allies, this is mostly down to not being battle tested on foreign battlefields.

The ANC is in danger of a near 50% majority, they have become serious cock suckers for any of Beijing, Moscow, Tehran, the useful idiots. It won't be my problem for long anyway. Dare I say the most obvious problem with South Africa is that our military is not what it used to be, now we have sailors drowning when waters are choppy, driving non amphibious vehicles into the ocean during a parade and wondering why it stops working. South Africa's days as a military of respect and quality is well gone.

The conflicts are in a stalemate, Russia has suffered 300000 war casualties 130 000 dead and 180 000 wounded, that's over a third of their capability. 4000 tanks and vehicles destroyed and over 1000 artillery pieces have cut them off. The Donbas is Putins frontier, he has little to no expansion chances outside proxies like Moldova. China may have a force to take Taiwan but Taiwan's value is staying intact. Taiwan is the semiconductor hotbed, memory PCBs are the gold nuggets, flattening Taiwan is a bad idea. Iran have a crippling economy that is constantly well below month to month turnover needed to maintain a crippling deficit. Afghanistan and Pakistan are their to take but Iran is politically unstable and broke.

I would say their is a axis of power that levitates from China and Russia, Iran, Venezuela all in. The Venezuela/Guyana dispute will blow up soon distracting America from a European war. The EU should be strong enough to Repel Russia, it is not a strong military. The question is whether Europe has the stomach for a fight. Putin wants Biden to win, he wants it because Biden is easy to toy along

He is finished now, he will never return

Would Syria be one of the many examples of Islamic Universalism, Bashar Al Assad has killed more Arabs than anyone at any point, he is up their at Charles Taylor levels yet we don't get many protests about that. There is a deep rooted obsession with Jews by people of the muslim world, the existence of Jews strikes at the core. When 3000 people were killed on 9/11 America went and destroyed a lot and killed a lot and nobody said a thing, it was called righteous and the west joined in, it seems like Israel fighting a constant state of terror surrounded by Iranian Islamist militants who are hell bent on killing as many Israeli's and Palestinians as possible, but the standard is not the same. Hamas knew that it is not a war they can win on Military capability, it is a war they need to win by fracturing the west and its failing alliances. Western Universalism is a pipe dream, the west is falling and the wolves are circling.

CNN: reporting that it is under review, most of the deaths were caused by the trucks trying to get away, there is no official confirmation on numbers resulting from gunfire and from stampeding.

Yes Islamist is not islam it is a radical militant and politicised wing of islam, we know that. Hamas are Islamists and jihadis it's in their charter as source. If I recall you are a Apostate atheist, if you went just about anywhere in the middle east or north Africa, you will be killed, the Qur'an demands it

https://nypost.com/2024/02/27/us-news/aaron-bushnell-claimed-secret-knowledge-of-us-forces-in-gaza/ Source: trust me bro, apparently he told his friend that Americans were in Gaza killing palastinians but no actual evidence like everything that is slanted in this conflict Found participating with radicalists online, would those radicalists be Islamists maybe?

Xi is a wonderful guy, it always take the most woke to try defend what they like. Factionalism, Saudi Arabia is factional and Bin Salman is not king, there are multiple families fighting for power and bin Salman was able to be the last dictator standing. Bin Salman answers to the King so basically the same, but you like one not the other. Wokies seem to be right in there with Islamists and commies useful idiots that can be disposed of when they have realised their usefulness

By a show of hands who is absolutely fucking terrified of mandatory conscription and being sent to the fronts to fight for Ukraine's democracy (lol). Don't all rush in at once

I am uneasy about any ground invasion over Ramadan. These savages attack over our religious observance days, because they dehumanise us for being Jewish, I don't want to stoop to their level, no invasion over Ramadan. Civilians need to be evacuated ASAP as I don't think Hamas have any living captives. It is the last stand then we can talk about peace agreements, this notion that letting Hamas survive is going to lead to lasting peace is bullshit, we will be back here in no time. Israelis(Arabs included) are tired of being told to take it, our people took it from the Egyptians, the Philistines, the Byzantines, the Romans, the Ottomans and various Arabs, the Nazis, how about no we don't take it anymore. It will take a lot more than Islamists and their seal clapping apologists to get rid of us, never again means never again.

It's all over YouTube and all the slanting is left leaning like every death apparently is a civilian but Hamas have lost 19 of 23 brigades. Their opperationsal strength was 30000, 10-12k are dead, 10000 wounded and probably some would have died a further 4000 captured. That makes it just over 2:1 ratio. So 61% would be 2:1 and I find the idea of not knowing civilians live in a city a stretch. Thousands of videos with IDF troops finding residentials, mosques boobie trapped, full of the Hamas Jew hating propaganda yet certain media is ignoring it. To CBS's credit they are showing in. I find people using palastinians suffering as political tropes to be the bigger problem, the virtue warriors had three weeks to set up refugee camps and did fuck all, why? Because they don't give a shit They want maximum casualties but 2:1 in context of a conflict that is completely urban is pretty accurate. Rafah is the last stand, you would think the virtue brigade would push to have US or NATO peacekeepers set up processing settlements in the Sinai to allow the evacuation of civilians and possible interception of Hamas cunts, why haven't they even suggested that? Khan Yunis is the straw that broke the Hamas back, they are now being flushed out and massacred. The IDF used massive smoke bombs to show all exit points and have the rats coming up for air. Palastine will be liberated when Hamas is gone, the real problem is that there are people that don't want that happening, it generally is a certain group that hate western civilization, but happily eat out of its hand

Yes which is why he is a fraud, he loves his fascist Arab theocrats and he loves his communist dictators. That being said Russians are very ultra nationalists. They are nationalist socialists which is what Hitler was, is Russia any less fascist than that Adolf bloke. Speaking of fascism I see the German opposition want to ban the AFD, reasons populism, the people are moving that way and democracy means denying the will of the people. Back to Sadiq Khan, he hasn't got British interested in heart and his questionable links through business and family ties to some rather dubious people that are involved in banned movements all with Islamic jihad as core underlying ideology, calling him out is not islamophia it is just inconvenient truth. These question mirror the majority of the UK that want conditions attached to immigration such as that Islamophobic requirement that they be aptly screened/vetted before being allowed in to live off the land with the taxpayer covering the tab.

Communism eh, communism and dictatorships walk lockstep with each other.

Another 8 goals incoming.

I didn't even know it had names.
