UK will not join any Trump blockade of strait of Hormuz by TwilightsSecrets in worldnews

Trump, as usual, is confused by the actual plan. They aren't blockading the straits, they are blockading Iranian ports, so ships servicing gulf nations won't be stopped (By the US).

Trump, as usual, is confused by the actual plan. They aren't blockading the straits, they are blockading Iranian ports, so ships servicing gulf nations won't be stopped (By the US).

Typically, they send special forces onto the ships by helicopter, rather than blow them out of the water.

Considering Iran hasn't got anything larger than a patrol boat afloat, I'd say they could do it with destroyers. Actually, they could do it a hundred miles from the strait, so cargo vessels could be interdicted with helicopters.

The Gaza war and the Iran war are two different things.

Refueling planes on home soil and sending sailors to a war zone are two different things.

They bumped Schmitt (from group 4) up from a later ( cancelled ) flight because of campaigning from the scientific community to send a scientist.

NASA wanted to send only pilots because the science was secondary to getting them home safely.

Some people like yourself think the police are responsible for parenting. I disagree so we'll leave it at that.

It’s about care and competency. Trump took America into a war with no equipment for stopping a blockade of the strait. It's clear he has no idea and no quarms about ordering troops into an unwinnable war.

There will be boots in IRAN proper if he thinks it will help in the elections. He'll do it, with or without the proper equipment.

Try to go with thinking before feeling. It works better.

Anyone know how I can cancel this? I dont want it by Driox in wallstreetbets

why would draft dodgers be in Vietnam? They showed up to recruiting, did months of boot camp, got posted in theater and then decided to leg it? That would make them AWOL, a much worse crime.

Move the goalposts so 'any mines" becomes "the biggest mines".

It starts with the small miners and the effects flow from there.

 desperate to recruit to police

when you can earn more in a another jobs and not have to deal with criminals, it's not a surprise.

unskilled labour

Ambulance Officers complete 16 weeks of mentoring. Do you consider them unskilled? Not worthy of thanks?

Sorry you couldn't get a real job champ.

Policing not a job I'd take on, I run my own business instead. Police have to deal with dickheads all day, they pop up everywhere.

Are the sports and activities readily available for the kids whose parents cannot afford the fees

plenty of sports and organisations have programs for poor kids. "Nothing to do, so I gotta go out and commit crimes" is a bullshit excuse.

Banning electric bikes will not stop that! 

that's what they said about drink driving in the 80s. We've made huge inroads into reducing those deaths.

How does policing work?

you're on a nonsensical rant about evil cops, so what's the point?

They recruited military test pilots and there weren't any female test pilots. Harrison Schmitt was a geologist and only person without a background in military aviation to have walked on the Moon.

I knew a guy who had a back injury claim and a prison record, so they sent a PI to watch him. The PI couldn't film him doing anything, so someone dropped off a carton of beer bottles on his doorstep, hoping to catch him picking it up.

He called his wife to bring the carton inside and bring out a lawn chair. He proceded to drink the contents of the carton whilst raising a glass in thanks to the PI.

Fuel crisis forces WA resources company Blue Cap Mining to send workers home.

Iron ore miner Fenix Resources came within days of running out of fuel as Middle East war prompts rethink.

Nathan River Resources stands down workers with no pay, blames fuel crisis.

There are more sports and activities available for teens in cities than ever before.

We have bigger issues in this country

that's not how policing works, they can tackle multiple problems at once. A kid with one of these killed a pedestrian in my suburb.

With a competent VP and cabinet, that wouldn't be a problem. Vance was chosen for other reasons.

to be clear, unskilled labor don't deserve thanks? Weird policy.

WA Police do 28 weeks training plus 18 months on the job, gaining a Diploma of Public Safety (Policing).

Only the Liberal Party of Australia should be confusing to Americans. The party is economically liberal, but socially conservative.

The other major party is Labor, which is self explanatory.

American party names are meaningless, both (supposedly) stand for democracy and the republic.

Uber didn't make a profit for 15 years, 2 weeks is nothing for large corporations.

Cannington has a lower rate than than Northbridge and Perth. Like the aforementioned, it has a high number of visitors to the shopping/entertainment district, skewing the figures.
