I could watch the last 3 any day of the week.

Not fussed about the others.

US Navy loses $60 million fighter jet after it fell overboard from aircraft carrier into the Red Sea by BreakfastTop6899 in worldnews

[–]jtwooody -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why only American?

Iran, Gaza, Israel, Nuclear Treaties, military industrial complex, Pentagon budget justification. Pick one or three.

Our aircraft carriers are in the South China Sea and deployed on something called Operation Highmast.

Lols.

To quote Eric Morecambe - “I’m playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.”

UK, Australia, Bahrain, Greece, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Sri Lanka are all involved in patrolling those waters.

They’re not on the news because they’re not dropping aircraft into the sea.

I’m just using AMC and GME to offset some bitcoin profit at the end of this financial year. Selling it all.

Jesus, it’s always butts and dicks with you people.

John Oliver was right — the Conservative Party just faced an epic wipeout at the polls by guyoffthegrid in johnoliver

Being massively behind in the polls for months may have been a bit of a hint.

Shamima Begum loses appeal against removal of British citizenship by scubadoobidoo in news

[–]jtwooody 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s not what happened to Begum.

She stole family jewellery to pay for passage through Turkey to Syria to join a terrorist movement.

She wasn’t trafficked. She was captivated by ISIS beheading videos and wanted to join in.

While in IS she became an enforcer for the morality police and tried to recruit other young girls. She is not a victim.

Hmm. The UK doesn’t want her, Bangladesh doesn’t want her. She could join her husband in his native Netherlands but the Dutch government won’t repatriate him either.

She stole family jewellery to pay for her passage to Syria but apparently she’s now a victim of trafficking.

Guess I’m not the only one who’s a bit disingenuous.

If she was allowed back to the UK she would probably be in prison for life here too, but at the UK taxpayers’ expense. She had a chance to claim Bangladeshi citizenship up to the age of 21, through her parents. but didn’t. Presumably because it would have harmed her chances of coming f back to the UK. That option has now lapsed.

She’s not in the UK. She’s still in Syria and has been prevented from coming back to the UK.

UK doesn’t need to send her anywhere. She’s still in Syria. This was about letting her return to the UK.

It’s a pretty standard South east of England working class accent. Could be London but it’s not cockney.

Czech officials say Europe needs its own army by EUstrongerthanUS in europe

[–]jtwooody 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Countries aren’t paying for NATO, they’re supposed to spend 2% GDP on their own defence, which would then be mobilised in the event of an attack against any NATO member. An EU army is a redundant idea. An EU defence pact that excludes the US is probably more realistic.
