And never, ever, wear a false pre-made bow tie.

The attacks on Kherson justify ATACMS.

Putin could not have provided justification with better timing or excuse.

All very worthy aims and great political talking points but they make as much sense as disbanding police forces to reduce violence in the community.

A cynic would say that it was not the boy who played best who won but the one who went home with the most marbles. It's called RealPolitik, a nice German word.

I would say that if the US did destroy the pipeline it was more for strategic reasons than profit. At the time the pipeline was shut down there appeared to be a very good chance that Europe was in for an absolutely miserable winter and some of the countries may have wavered on their support for Ukra...

I hate the Hindustan Times. If every square inch of Russia was blasted into desert the Hindustan Times would claim it was part of a new brilliant Russian agricultural initiative.

There you go again. "guns are the principal factor in the tragic number of gun deaths" If that is your totally simplistic appreciation of the problem I am concerned. Yes, I firmly believe that guns are the principal factor in gun deaths, just as drugs are the principal factor in drug deaths and moto...

Very soon you will be making the ridiculous claim that aeroplanes are responsible for aeroplane deaths.

John, I have already shown that this is not the case. So all these young(ish) scrotes have guns but I am sure you can argue that guns are not the principal factor in the cause of gun deaths of young, and youngish, americans. John, read your own words. "you can argue that guns are not the principal f...

Stupid question if I may say so - quite obviously it is because the perp. was armed and almost certainly did not get his weapon legally like the rest of us. The point, which you are trying to obscure, is that the people who are dying of gun violence are not "children' as the bleeding hearts would su...

The report you cite contains the following line. Firearms are the leading cause of death in children and youth 0 to 24 years of age in the United States. If you are going to allow 24 year olds to be called children then you include the whole range of gang-bangers, drug dealers and petty criminals in...

You have just repeated a generally discredited claim. Proof?

USA Facts report and NHTSA. Firearm deaths include all deaths involving guns, such as homicide, suicide, and accidents. More people in the US die from suicide involving a firearm than homicides or accidents. There were a total of 45,222 firearm deaths in the US in 2020, an increase of 14% or 5,155 f...

Numerically the school shootings add low numbers to the count. Any violent death is, of course, terrible but people are people and people under certain conditions, and the US supplies those conditions, do bad things. I think the US is probably beyond the stage where it can reform socially sufficient...

John, I'm not going to use my time getting the numbers yet again but if you remove the suicides, gang activity and criminal on criminal acts from the count the US gun death rate is not inordinately out of line. The gun death rates are also basically an urban problem. In 45 years in the US I have nev...

The children run wild because there is a total lack of "at home" parental control, no school discipline and a culture of accepting no responsibility to gain an education. The whole system is based on raising spineless spoilt brats who are assured that whatever goes wrong in their life is always some...

I've carried out a Google search and still can't find any photos of the recent "UFOs". What about gun cameras? We had those for the Chinese balloon. Don't pilots positively identify the target anymore, they apparently took a reasonably close look but no photos? Apparently the pilots disagree on what...

Why are we getting no photos?

1. If things go badly for Putin then Prigozhin gains status therefore he must be crippled.
2. Prigozhin appears to be the only one doing anything useful.
3. Without Prigozhin things go badly for Putin.
4. Loop back to 1.

Rossian, You have just pointed out the elephant in the room. A relatively tiny heavier than air machine flying for hours at 40k? Was it really heavier than air? I hope we find out cos' if it wasn't there are going to be some panics at DoD. On the other hand if any other nation has made a technical b...
