Country without a navy sinking another Russian vessel-



It’s surprising for sure.
That the Ayatollah was above ground, at his marked compound.
Iran had been saying he was no longer in Tehran, with outside sources claiming he’d fled.
US/Israel very likely considered he’d be hiding in one of very large number of deep underground bunkers. Smoking him out would take weeks to months.
But there he was, above ground, in Tehran, in a very watched compound.


Understandable, UK tried to stay out, rather publicly denying US use of their airfields for the attack on Iran.

Everyone else has a buddy though.
We’re sort of up shit creek if we lose US.
We’re not and cannot be a part of NATO, even if we were France has said many, many times over the decades that they’d NEVER come to Australia’s aid, they only care about mainland Europe.
China is breathing down our neck and the only real military Allies we have are US and Japan (NZ doesn’t count as a military force, they’re our best friends but we’re going to have to cover for them in a fight)


Why don’t we grow our own Cocoa? FNQ has the climate for it.


I stopped watching when they disqualified Vladislav Heraskevych.


What other relics do you hold?

I’d thoroughly erased it’s existence from my mind it seems. It’s the reason I went back upstream to Debian many moons ago.
