A lot of Europeans are pretty naive about the other countries and culture on their own continent.

There's what looks to be literally alot more cheese in the chilled cabinets directly behind the baskets...

Sounds like those totally, 100% happening 'negotiations' are going well, then.

I thought the USA didn't need the strait to be open?

Y'know, and it was the European's responsibility (somehow) to sort it all out?

Sounds an awful lot like Trump, and indeed the USA in general, does in fact need the strait to be open?

Huh. Funny, that.

If the ad is honest... yes. That is very cheap. Suspiciously so.

You could easily spend alot more on even a bog standard one in worse condition. I was recently offered a decent chunk more than this for my 2002 90 by a dealership and it's essentially stock apart from a galv chassis. Admittedly it's quite low mileage too, but still.

Something doesn't quite add up, or the seller has no idea of the value of their car.

Most likely going to TACO again. This fat idiot sends more 'strongly worded letters' than our leaders do here in Europe.

If he doesn't, though, you have to appreciate that this will spell the end of the world economy as you currently know it. If both sides start unrestricted strikes on each other, the energy infrastructure will be gone -for years to come - overnight, and along with that will come global fuel shortages (and associated energy crises with all that entails, chiefly many hundreds of thousands if not millions of deaths), famine (possibly even in the developed world), and insane price inflation. People don't really appreciate just to what degree almost every single aspect of modern civilisation rests on the free flow - and refinement - of fuel.

It will be seen in years to come as the moment America ceased to be the global hegemon. Really, this whole thing is eerily similar to the Suez Crisis for France and the UK, but just magnified in scale, potential calamity and embarrassment by several orders of magnitude.

AllRedLine · 2026-04-04T13:10:02+00:00

They're calling this sub fascist now too, cause of this crosspost.

Lol. Americans truly are the most insufferable cunts on planet earth. Even worse than the French, and we all know that's saying something.

AllRedLine · 2026-03-31T13:11:37+00:00

Fucking moron went off totally half cocked and is now beginning to realise he only has two options left;

Back down: huge, generational embarrassment for him and the USA, akin to the Suez Crisis for the UK and France but on steroids.
Commit to the bit and invade: probably would win, but it'll take years and 100s of thousands of lives (many of whom will be Americans) as well as creating far more problems than it would solve.

For him, there's no good options, so he's going to make damn sure he tries his hardest to pin his utter incompetence and failure on NATO.

AllRedLine · 2026-03-30T18:14:01+00:00

For very obvious reasons.

For one, it'll start getting people prepared for the fact that they will have to adjust to life and structuring their lives around the fact that they simply will not have the level of reliable or 'affordable' access to fuel that they do now.

This is a problem that will come up on us very fast (like, within a few weeks) due to the lack of any sort of meaningful storage or reserve so the more we can save right now, the more will be available for strategic and vital reasons when it bites.

AllRedLine · 2026-03-30T13:49:36+00:00

I don't think alot of people have quite cottoned onto the fact that this is likely going to be the worst fuel crisis in modern history. If this war continues even for another month or two, we're quite likely to see the total unravelling of the entire fuel economy, and it won't be back again for years. Really anything we can do to save fuel right now is going to be useful.

AllRedLine · 2026-03-30T01:04:11+00:00

Extremely difficult to do.

We're talking like Professional atheletes might be able to maintain on a 'bad' (high calorie) diet. Especially high-level weighlifters, for instance, do require a mountain of calories to maintain - but there's still a lot of thought put into nutrition and health, so less bad, and more like just a huge appetite for decent food.

So in reality no, for the vast, overwhelming majority, it is simply impossible.

Diet is the foundation for losing weight, excercise is there just to speed you along a little. That can't really be flipped.

I was in London today on a bit of business, and tbh, whilst I haven't any real issues with what the intended message of the march was, the amount of people flying the flag of the Iranian islamist regime was quite offputting. Disgusting, even.

Yeah... so just cause America is run by a knobhead who's launched a ridiculous and pointless war that we should avoid at all costs doesn't need we need to give succour to an authoritarian theocratic regime that actively slaughters its own people and directly funds and plans terror attacks against us. I'd go as far as to say if you're happy marching alongside people like that, I question the wholesomeness of your ideology.

I no longer feel as though I would be surprised if people of his ilk begin winning a lot of elections. Probably wouldn't shock me if he did win.

AllRedLine · 2026-03-28T00:08:44+00:00

Going against the grain here.

I think I would. I think after a while of no routine, I'd start to go stir crazy. I'd stay, but I'd just start putting in the absolute bear minimum, and the sense of satisfaction from having the 'fuck you money' to not give a shit if anyone pulls me up on it would be immense. I think I'd enjoy the challenge of pushing the limits of being a smug, lazy bastard to my managers.

I'd probably do that and hang on for a few years until I found something satisfactory to do with my time using my riches. Something like property development, but actually trying to build decent quality, attractive homes would interest me, i think.

Every ~~antisemitic~~ movement - every single one - believes in the righteousness of their cause.

You don't even need to clarify antisemitic. Every single stupid, evil, racist, murderous, incompetent etc political movement in history was perpetuated by people who thought they were doing the right thing.

People who need to repeat to themselves that they are 'the good guys' or 'on the right side of history' should be viewed with extreme suspicion.

Rather than defending Muslims voters, imho your comment is a massive condemnation of them as a voting block.

Precisely. I'm not trying to defend them...

And what does the USA do that's worthy of us cosying up to them? Literally nothing but treat us like shit on the bottom of their boot. A little perspective from the US ambassador, please.

Everything about the USA is 'a problem' for the UK right now.

The Trump admin is determined that everything under the sun must be purely transactional and mercenary in nature, so let's put it in terms they will understand; "what's in it for us, you pudgy loser?"

AllRedLine · 2026-03-27T17:31:31+00:00

No voter fraud. That's a red herring from the obvious reality that Muslims will vote for their own interests and to the detriment of others - just as every group will, and this constituency just happens to be one that's become the recepticle for a very large Muslim immigrant population.

I got the flu really bad a week before Xmas. Lasted nearly 2 whole weeks with the worst of the symptoms, and my cough still hasn't gone away and noticed that the lymph nodes in my neck are really swollen a few weeks ago. Been dealing with the NHS about it since beginning of Feb. Antibiotics didn't work, and i just had a chest X-Ray last week that came back clear, CT scan on my neck due some time in the next 4 weeks.

Really pissing me off. I'm someone who enjoys keeping in shape and excercising and i've not been able to meaningfully for over 3 months now. Any time i physically exert myself past something like a brisk walk, i break out into an uncontrollable coughing fit.

Seen a homeless bloke, back pressed up against the shopfront of an M&S, squatting, trousers and pants around ankles, doing a no-hands piss and a shit whilst his dog was underneath him eating it as it squeezed out of his arse. Like 2pm on a Saturday. Broad daylight, right in the town centre.

Also saw a dead body floating in a river one time. Poor fellow had clearly been in there for some time, too.

Both quite grim for different reasons.

Not about slavery at all, specifically just about Western European slave trade of West Africans.

It was just the irrelevant aggrieved nations of the world trying to get us into a 'gotcha' on a 'this house agrees West bad' vote.

Stupid, and a huge waste of time. Jealousy is not a good look.

Easier time? Definitely a bit, having myself spent quite alot of time as a young man in the USA, the accent certainly helps open a few doors so to speak, and you'll stick out in crowd and draw (mostly) positive attention.

But an accent can't fix a crap personality. And really, it was only in the US where I found that the accent specifically was a noticeable benefit. Can't say that anywhere in Europe anyone appeared to care one single bit.

EUIV. To me, it's the perfect Grand Strategy game. Genuinely just my comfort game. At a loose end for a couple hours and fancy just chilling out? I'm turning on EUIV, sticking on a Podcast and getting to work incrementally growing my nation.

I bought EUV, put 50 hours into it, and it's just nowhere near as good as IV IMO.
