You know, this looks like it might be a proper war. Israel seems very committed to this.
-
Israel has just announced an order to close all their embassies worldwide, and told Jewish communities to be vigilant and remove anything that would identify them as Jewish. How has what they have done made any Jewish people safer, I will never understand this. At every single turn, they've made them more at risk.
As for Trump - this chaos is directly on him IMO, it's the direct cost of the US pulling itself back from the global stage. Israel don't seem to give a fuck what he thinks, in fact it sounds almost like he's been steamrollered here and is just catching up after the fact to save face. The cost of having weak fucking leaders man...

I dunno if more nukes make the world safer, particularly with a regime such as Iran which has been fighting proxy wars in the region for yearsI would once have agreed with you but what the era of Trump is showing us is that the only way a sovereign state can guarantee its safety is ownership of nukes. Ukraine is the other example. Even India and Pakistan de-escalated pretty quickly out of fear of where that whole thing could lead.
There is no chance Iran would ever use a nuke, even via a proxy, without fully expecting to get nuked back - it would never happen. And indeed I would argue that they look quite cautious in a lot of their responses most of the time.

How much do we reckon he's actually worth of that figure?

trump apparently didn't even know about the strikes in advance. he's been trying to negotiate a nuclear deal with iran so bibi has fucked him, the war-monger cunt
Maybe so but I think we can also backdate some of this to Trump's first term and the scuppering of whatever nuclear arrangement was in place back then. I honestly do wonder if the whole region is safer if everyone has nukes.
The only positive here I suppose is that Iran can do fuck all about this really, hard to see how they escalate.

If I was the Iranian government, I'd be doing everything I could to get hold of nukes.

This is definitely considered a skill in Sunderland. The most iconic moment of their last spell in the prem seems to be Cattermole taking out Colback. They have avatars dedicated to it, T shirts, coffee mugs...

And yet the site rollback has left us with this absolute pearl of an opening post. We truly are blessed.

If that's talking about 24-25 then it would be more relevant for the season just gone than it will be for next year, I would have thought. So I would say that's talking about why we were limited last summer.

Speaking of which
I'm sorry but.. what does this even mean
What is the implication he's taken from 'sleeping areas' that suggests the women would be under threat..? I mean maybe he's right but I'm struggling to find my way to his conclusion at the moment, at least one that would support saying "there are laws!"

I'm not sure any of us have a clue on likely 'ins', we thought we would be in for Mbuemo. With that dead all I've seen in here is snatches of rumours, nothing concrete.
Likely outs seem to be the supporting cast of the midfield positions. Longstaff, Willock potentially. Hopefully we're about to shift at least a couple of hundred goalkeepers.

Do that many nuclear subs really give us a significant strategic advantage over the 3 we already had? It can't all be aimed at Russia, they must be anticipating more of a global presence..

Sorry does that mean Trident goes from 3 to 15?

I don't know how to merge that shit or I would fold it into other threads tbh.

@Howmanheyman Sorry to hear of this mate but glad that you're in consultations and so on about it. Well done for taking that step because sometimes people sit on things like this. Sounds kinda manageable at least, hope things improve nonetheless though.

The only thing I'm finding jarring about this is why each of these posts requires its own thread
We have active threads which would comfortably cover all of this mate, we're not one of those places where people throw up a new thread for every point.

The ticket exchange bit maybe? That would piss me off a bit if I was a regular for that sort of thing.

Mercy flush on 90 mins. Inter absolute shite, I have no clue what their game plan was even meant to be. PSG superb but the high press and energy is just too much for the Italians it seems.

Be a good idea to set up the top 20 or so thread titles on there so we can use it properly.
IE politics, transfers, NUFC chat etc
Yeah not a bad shout tbh. I'll sort that a bit later.

Looks like we got everyone other than Dave. 27 members onboarded so far, not bad.

For me it's not even the slippery slope, though that is a completely valid point. It just offends my sense of humanity even for legit offenders. It's like throwing in the towel on trying to better society and resorting to draconian and brutal methods in order to spare us from doing the hard yards to make society better. It's like saying "Some people are just born bad and it's not in our power to do anything about it". It's a very right wing view in my eyes, that 'evil' is something that just exists and that we don't need to understand why or address any of the underlying causes. Just put a bullet in it and write them off. It's that kind of vibe.

Amorim has yelled at Garnacho at training in front of the entire squad, and told him to find a new club
Meanwhile Fernandes is apparently open to moving to Saudi.

Just worth remembering whose fault this ultimately is. Trump binned the previous deal with Iran because:
1 - Obama had agreed it.
2 - He wanted to buddy up to Netanyahu who didn't like the Obama deal.
3 - He was listening to hawks in his cabinet who never would have been in office in any respectable administration.
Had we not binned that, maybe now we wouldn't be here.
