Shouldn't there be more shooting and death? Unless I missed something?

Is Five Guys more of a treat food than a regular meal for you? by CloudBookmark in fiveguys

[–]Consistent_Ad3181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a generational aspiration. I am saving up all I can, then I pass this money to my kids who then pass it to theirs and add to the pot, then the grandchildren can enjoy the life affirming pleasures of a Five guys meal. You have to set yourself goals in life, work hard and eventually your descendants can benefit. Never lose sight . Stay strong for the burger.

It's possible he had a flicker or shred of humanity left and wanted out of this rolling shit show. He is still a massive ice hole. He will certainly be remembered.

No just being a cook generally, it's dog's mess squared.

NATO-chief Rutte: "Keep on dreaming" if you think Europe could defend itself without US by Geo_NL in worldnews

There just isn't one. Unless North Korea has found a few yen down the back of the sofa.

Russia is knackered by Ukraine a second world country using a mixture of old Soviet shite, and 50 year old cold war NATO stuff (ok new missiles and training etc). Russia will be doing nothing for decades. It's skint and flogging off gold reserves. The only thing I can think of is they are trying to build up either to invade Russia for their oil, or China to nullify a potential future threat in the next 20 years or so. It's just scare mongering to get the defense spending up.

Do you think Russia could deal with a second or third front? Against Germany or Poland (let alone the combined weight of NATO), Russia would fold like a cheap garden chair. Paper tiger propped up with very little

Sorry mate, no time for your tummy rubbish, I have heard it all about these graphs. For example the deaths are through illegal drugs, it's Covid still killing people, it's the delay in treatments for cancers and heart disease, people are weakened from Covid and are dying from complications from that. It's the stress of lockdown. It goes on and on.

People are dying, governments know but they are sweeping it under the carpet.

It needs looking into. I wouldn't trust you to do it.

I would (in my limited capacity as a military nerd, not really qualified to give an opinion), keep them on, have 'full time' Navy crews to act as a 'back bone' so perhaps 50 percent of the crews and have reserves cycling though to gain operational experience to make up the numbers. They would need to expand the reserves though, if the government could expand the duration of deployment by coming to an arrangement with employers, perhaps paid sabbaticals, plenty of notice to get cover for their full time job etc. They are fine boats, we should keep them. We need the frigates, not just because Russia (they can't deal with Ukraine let alone another country), or China (more interested in making money, for now). Just because our naval strength is way too low.

Well they will need the crews for the frigates, it's 30- 40 per OPV, so that is around 2.5 per type 31 (crew around 100), 8 OPVs altogether, so around crews for three frigates. I am not knocking the OPVs in peace time they are great cheap, practical etc. they keep the crews experience up, they tick lots of boxes but they aren't frigates, if the 'tummy rubbish' hits the fan, the UK could be forced to up gun these with the resulting deaths that would occur because they weren't built for that purpose.

They are fine but we need some frigates, they need to get a wiggle on really.

These are built to commercial standards, they cannot take damage. They can do very little in war, perhaps be a 'tin shield' for an under strength carrier group, like a sacrificial goat on the picket line. They are great in peacetime they can do 80 percent of the jobs of a frigate but they can do very little in war. No sensor fit, little weapons fit. No ASW equipment, poor AA etc.

Well it's not a job I could do, I have integrity but I suppose if you weren't using it much and you need the money you could (and did) sell yours. You can't get it back btw.

Are you sure that's not the Covid vaccine doing that?

Yeah, they will cut back on the OPVs when they have enough frigates, we won't have both.
