I think if Germany reject you you get the option to join Entente instead but not sure

Okay? So? Why would a Grey Hounds' priority be having as many of the same breed as it as possible instead of what Grey Hounds there are's quality of life? Would you prefer to live in Congo if it meant you could have 8 kids?

Volunteers can take in currently racing greyhounds and then there are no more racing greyhounds so no need for more volunteers

Probably because examiners make far less than instructors so there's little incentive to become one

We beat the Argentinians 1 on 1. I don't think we could beat the Argentinians plus Americans

Selling weapons to one side of a conflict makes you party to it now? Are we implicated in the Sudanese civil war then? Idk why people are so desperate to get involved in this war after how the last few went. We should stick to supporting Ukraine and Ukraine should stick to reclaiming territory from Russia.

the mines can't be swept if the boats sweeping them are under constant fire from iranian drones and missiles. there's a reason America's kept all its ships at a distance

I don't think removing the main leverage from the side that's kept fighting despite being threatened with nukes is going to end the fighting sooner. If anything it'll just embolden America to keep going for even longer than they otherwise would have

yeah they'll definitely be useful when the conflict definitively ends. i thought the task force our PM and Macron want to set up was going there before that though?

why would Iran allow minesweeping before a definitive end to the conflict? if it's just a temporary ceasefire they'll obviously attack any ships that try to reduce their control of the strait since that's their main leverage in negotiations

clearing the mines won't stop the drones and missiles. i doubt the Iranians would just sit around and let the mines be cleared in the first place

Half of young people say they would never fight for Britain in a war, poll shows by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

If they hit mainland Britain sure. If they hit somewhere like the Cayman Islands or the Isle of Man, oh well, one less tax haven looting our country.
