His friends?
BAE financials yesterday, did you see how much %age of turnover and profit the Saudi brigade contributed towards BAE and the UK balance of payments ?, I worked on the Tornado
contract BAE & Saudi did back in the 80's, it was known then it was crooked AF, sweeteners from the company I worked for at the time were plentiful to MOD staff, wasn't even hidden back then. But then again I got to work in Saudi, every cloud, silver lining not really it's a shithole.
****ing hell lucky Holmes and Watson have uncovered that the UK have a relationship with Saudi Arabia, get onto the papers lads.
It was the hawks in the Pentagon who wanted the strike and it was Trump that stopped it before it started. I'd say that was a pretty good sign, given his perceive lunacy!!!
All the pro Iranians will soon start moaning when they close the straights of Hormuz and send oil prices over the hill effecting petrol prices and thier lives.
Lets not kid ourselves when Iran prop up Hamas and Hezbollah,PLO there not doing it out of love ,its hatred , why are they camped in Syria ??
Once again the denial team are up and running , its almost as if they watch the world and can only see one view a very blinkered one at that .
Bloody region is lead by evil people who have little care for thier own , no democracy , just torture ,imprisonment and mediveal laws.
Yes the USA and UK have thier nasty agendas, but at least their own people can
practice (freely ) thier choice of religion, woman have rights, children have access to broader education
LBGT communities don,'t have to suffer persecution.
People don't get stoned to death .
Folk dont lose their limbs for theft crime .
Females dont suffer genital mutilation.
I could go on for hours listing thier mediveal practices .
Barbaric nutters,
Thier yours to love, crack on.
It's a factual statement mate, there was no man or woman in the drone. I just asked 3 people, and 2 of them didn't even know that large military drones were flown remotely. The relevant information in that statement is that there were no US casualties. Maybe you are just too clever, even for yourself
No need to repeat it. I can read . But he obviously meant it would be a different response I'd the had taken down a manned flight. It is that interpretation I was referring to when I said I could understand his response given his US first rhetoric. To suggest he meant it literally is taking people's attitude to him a little far.
Following people around and looking for semantic ambiguities is one of Heisenburg's peculiarities. In fact, you would be very hard pressed to see him express an original opinion. I think it's happened once! Why he does it is a question for the scientists, but I reckon it is related to self-esteem issues, and a continual desire to appear clever. It just comes across as being very weird behaviour to me though
Reports indicate Iran's air force has been placed on its highest state of readiness.

Need more info, who was pushing for the strikes, etc.. It could even be part of a bigger game, with the China trade negotiations coming up next week. The Chinese economy is already feeling the heat due to US tarrifs and companies pulling out. If their flow of oil is disrupted they will be in more trouble. However, I fully expect the US to negotiate mutually beneficial trade deals with China, North Korea & Iran, but they may need a bit of gentle persuasion first.
