This is so accurate. The military spending is siphoning money from other areas like healthcare and education.

HOLY SH*T:

Black rain is pouring down on Tehran, Iran following military strikes on their oil facilities last night.

Residents of Tehran are now reporting severe breathing issues.

Is this what "liberating the Iranian people" looks like?

Last time I looked, it was an offence to knowingly kill unarmed combatants. These sailors weren't even in the fight. Also, it was Iranian Navy not IRGC. Surely if so many of the Iranian people oppose their government, it should have been given the chance to surrender.

It had been on a joint training exercise organized by India, the US also participated. The rules of the exercise was that none of the vessels should be armed.

That is a good bit more expensive though. For people on a budget that want a computer to do internet stuff and apply for jobs or other basic office stuff, the 400 is a great option.

I think you're being rather optimistic thinking her replacement won't be worse. Whenever you think this regime has got as low as is possible, they just find something worse to do.

I've been using Ubuntu for over 10 years now, MS Windows is on there too (dual boot) but I never use it. I would never go back to MS by choice, but I have to use it at work and hate it.

Have you considered getting Raspberry Pi 400?

Well it works but you've just confused a load of US people who don't understand what you'd have to translate.

He'd be in over his head in a game of snakes and ladders.

So they want regime change but they're going to kill any new leader? They maybe should clarify that a bit.

I read that as Whiskey Wednesday until I scrolled down. It has been one of those days! However, if I had a cat, it would be better therapy than whiskey.

I'm remembering an incident at a Belfast checkpoint during the Troubles where a soldier accuses a driver of being (Irish) republican because he has a Wolfe Tones tape. The driver replies "Well, I've a country and western tape too, does that make me a cowboy?"

I'm wondering what you have been playing for that to be a suggestion.

It isn't a gap filler though when you're talking about new power stations as they take time to build. Also, they use a lot of steel and cement which means they have a big carbon footprint to build.

As it is 3D not 2D a soccer field is an odd choice, try m³ . Also, it certainly doesn't fit in there with the necessary containment around each rod.

I think a lot of Americans think that Iran is just like Iraq, with a different letter on the end. Boy are they in for a shock if they go for boots on the ground!

It isn't that easy to get loads of weapons across a border and distributed throughout the country without getting caught and shot. Also, bear in mind that in Syria, good rebel groups got armed and then got taken over by ISIS. That is a very real risk here too.

Was that just a way of making them ready so they could deploy to the Middle East without having to admit in advance how many casualties they're expecting?

You can't just fix the internet unless you occupy the areas where the servers are and the routes of the cables.

Train Iranian refugees in everything needed to organize to overthrow the regime and put a democratic government in its place. Of course it would have been better if the US hadn't helped a coup in 1953 against the democratic government they had.

In what way do you think the US attacks are going to help the people? They can't kill the entire RG, they can't even kill all the leadership and their designated successors. Also, attacks from outside always gives governments and excuse to crack down on domestic dissent.

Quite apart from the logistic challenges of overthrowing the regime, people often have an attitude of hating their government but objecting if an enemy kills them. It tends to make people more loyal to the country and less likely to rebel.

Making provocative moves like that could cause Iran to attack a base where UK forces are and drag us into the conflict. We need to be very visible about not wanting to get involved.

Honestly it is our regime that is utterly abhorrent, the whole of the West bows to a suspected rapist pedophile in the USA, and a Genocidal Mass Murderer in Israel.

This is the regime which needs to be destroyed.

Also, it seems they are claiming it was the Muslims that were cheating. Do they seriously think they'd get a huge Muslim vote if it weren't for family influence?

She got a majority of over 4000, that would be a lot of families. Also, are Reform trying to claim that Muslims would vote Reform if it weren't for other Muslims telling them not to?

There's a video from another angle. The radome got hit too, it is no longer.

Can you stop thousands of dropped AR15s ending up in the hands of ISIS? In Syria, what started as good people fighting the regime, ended up with ISIS hi-jacking those groups for their own ends.
