Azeem Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) A little insight about this Gulf conflict You people might know that America is about to leave Afghanistan after 17 years of war and had achieved nothing, but they don't want to look like as the losers and face the humiliation just like Vietnam so they want to start a new conflict in the region which intensifies and the whole world shifts its attention there while America sneaks out silently. The recent Pakistan-India clashes were also an attempt of this plan, but thankfully we diffused the situation so now they shifted to the Middle East. Edited May 14, 2019 by Azeem Quote

Azeem Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) @Dr. Gonzo @nudge @6666 This is the mess the US has created in Afghanistan and Trump wants to get out but just like Vietnam it hurts their pride to accept it so they need to create another drama to end this one Edited May 14, 2019 by Azeem 1 Quote

Azeem Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) This potential confrontation with Iran might be a cover for the real attack on Pakistan to counter China's interest and growing influence by disturbing the region from the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea.... @MUFC Have a look Edited May 21, 2019 by Azeem Quote

Kind of explains why that non-Scouse blueshite lad on here out of the blue after not indicating he was a bigot anywhere else on the forum decided it was alright to give me & Mo some shite for being Middle Eastern though. A bit sad though that a football player can make people’s bigotry higher or lower based on who they support 1 Quote
Inverted Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Robert Peston thinks working class people like Donald Trump. His approval with working class Britons is 16%. I swear to god, our intellectual elite are some of the stupidest, most sheltered and most prejudiced people on this planet. There must be some kind of congenital stupidity with the British upper-class, because you can throw the world's best education at them for centuries and you're still hard pressed to find any of them turn out to be remotely useful. 1 Quote
Bluebird Hewitt Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) So the Welsh Government has decided that, despite being in the manifesto for the 2016 elections and had overwhelming backing from an independent review, the M4 relief road around Newport will no longer be built, with our First Minister mentioning that 'a commission of experts will be appointed to find a solution around the M4 problems around Newport'. The reasons for it being rejected were cost (at £1.4bn before tax, though this was the same government that would have been happy to see £1.4bn being used on the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon by the UK Government. When rejected, they issued a non binding vote of no confidence on Alun Cairns because they can), environmental reasons (ignoring the fact that persistent heavy congestion will cause more issues) and 'comes at a time of maximum uncertainty' for Welsh Government finances. To put that last statement into perspective, this has been under discussion and planning for about 30 years. So not only have the Severn Bridge tolls been removed (increasing the traffic as a result), but we'll now have to deal with the extra traffic without any further road developments in place to cope with it. Take a big guess as to who this party is. Edited June 4, 2019 by Bluebird Hewitt Quote

Azeem Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Australian police raided ABC because of having reports of Australian troops misconduct in Afghanistan. Nothing surprising. The US led forces have killed a lot more civilians than militants in Afghanistan it's like an open secret. Quote

Administrator Stan Posted June 9, 2019 Administrator Posted June 9, 2019 Shit, hope everyone got out okay. Given it's mid-afternoon (and not at night like Grenfell when most were sleeping) hopefully people could escape. 16 minutes ago, CaaC (John) said: Jesus, not another one, not as bad as Greenfell so I have read thank fuck, I wonder if the cladding is involved again? If I remember correctly, all councils/landlords were required to replace the cladding that was used on Grenfell as an immediate safety precaution. Quote
