I thought they were just to keep the rain out.
He still looks remarkably human shaped.
It seems a lot of the traditional "rules" of espionage (and warfare more broadly) have likely been under serious review I the social media age.
He didn't stay rich and fat?
Agreed and I imagine this is what @14thDoctor was alluding to. Then again, what demographic would you expect from a place where young men were...
Differences? Conceivably we could imagine some, a few spring to mind and doubtless you can think of a few, but none that justify the scale of the...
All true....but.... In this case it's not the US I'm condemning. It's us brits who are every bit as capable of callousness, until we periodically...
That expanding on the reasons for racism doesn't alter the fact of it's observance. There can be no clearer illustration of that disparity than the...
I have talked about public attitudes in Europe, not the US's figures for formally accepting refugees. Raw data on the number of people being accepted...
This is all personal, it doesn't address the fact that some of her points are valid.
Why do you imagine I so rarely multiquote?
I think she's pointing out that whilst it's only reasonable to care about the people of Ukraine it's remarkable how selective that concern is. Many...
And is virtually unknown in the West, despite the fact that historically a great deal of the blame can be laid at our doors. To a child escaping...
No surprise at all. Allows Johnson to look great paying people to take in refugees, knowing full well how few refugees will be able to correctly...
Absolutely. However this isn't merely about political affiliation, or even taking sides. It's a broader observation that we tend to be more...
She's not wrong I'm afraid. We show nowhere near this level of empathy for people less similar to ourselves. How many here can honestly say they've...
Cotton?
What's the range on a Russian grenade launcher? How long does it take to load/fire?
Not to mention the potential sowing of mistrust and divisions engendered by having a prominent (former) Western intelligence figure publicly naming...
Two Soviet soldiers were on curfew duty as a man walked past. One of them shot him much to his comrades surprise. "Why did you do that?" he...
Yes I'm focusing on Chamberlain circa 1938. What had or had not happened earlier set the scene for the decisions he made. The original proposition...
Neat trick but honest and valid. The reasons for our early losses are a subject in and of themselves but no matter whose read you accept they were...
That was the point....
You'd think in the face of a massive invasion they might, y'know, use it...
Polonium 210 is the favoured method I believe.
It feels as though you've made my case for me here. Conservatism, dogmatism, unwillingness to accept new ideas, none of these things can be laid at...
Seems lil Kim and Saddam didn't get the message. They were strengthened by the public perception of outside oppression.
Sanctions rarely work anyway, often producing more civilian harm than they prevent. I dispute that the French were in any position to act other than...
You imagine WW2 would have been winnable without it?
Isn't that a cricket ground?
Darling you're going to make it happen
Nah, just whatever comes their way.
It absolutely fits his MO though. It's interesting to see his thoughts from the "inside" where he's not trying to lie to us but bringing us in on his...
That was what got me.
This won't be the last time I fear.
Did the pilot personally do anything in particular beyond being part of the military machine? I'm not being awkward (for once), just curious given...
Is this the real reason for invading?
I don't reject that dilemma if the courts rule in favour of the energy lobby. That's exactly what is being discussed. Your representatives put the...
You stated earlier you didn't believe the ends justified the means and interference in a sovereign nation was never justified even in the face of an...
No ill intent.....
Separate names with a comma.
