    The queen is dead.

    Can't blame the guy. He's had people wipe his arse for him since he can remember. Parents who wish for their kids to grow up well-rounded and appreciative of other people would do well to watch these videos. This is the result of treating your child like a princess every day.

    War

    You seem confused as to what "leave an outlet free" might mean. Otherwise I don't see what alternative point you're trying to make here.

    War

    It's how Russia is going to deal with this counter-offensive, both militarily and politically, that will determine the outcome of this war, I think. Personally I've gone from a 4 year war of attrition to a possible resolution before the end of the year. Either the Russians took the Kherson bait...

    War

    "When you surround an army, leave an outlet free." Same rules have always applied. Never under-estimate human desperation.

    The queen is dead.

    We have our own government and we've repeatedly voted for a referendum. Each time we've been told no. This is no longer opposition, it is quite simply oppression. And being a Scotsman, I reckon I'll take my chances with the French before the English ;)

    Oh I hope so. Far too many warning signs lately that the core of R&D in 2023 onwards will be sticks n stones.

    The queen is dead.

    Really? Now you see I know that's (supposed to be) the case, but every time we've approached Westminster over the past few years (with cap in hand, might I add) to request the right for a referendum on such, the UK government has told us "now is not the time." It doesn't matter that the...

    The queen is dead.

    Scotland is a country though, bud, we're just attached into a very unfair Union. It's not about ethnic groups (especially considering Scotland is a cultural ethnic group, rather than any kind of a blood ethnicity - A Nigerian who moved to Scotland as a child 15 years ago is more of a Scotsman...

    War

    No they wouldn't be. If we replied with nukes the international community would likely be too dead for that.

    The queen is dead.

    No, it's all down to population. England has a much larger population than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland though, so we can vote til the cows come home for all the difference it would make. That's okay though, it's all democracy. The larger country should always be able to control the...

    War

    I do understand the need and urge to fight fire with fire. I also understand though, that the global exchange of ICBMs does not end well for anyone and I hope that our glorious leaders understand same. Looking at Russian ventures over the past 6 months, I doubt our lot would risk it. Far...

    War

    I'd like to think that even if Putin did use a tactical nuke in Ukraine, we'd resist the urge to reply in kind. I'd expect us to move in militarily, but to risk the exchange of ICBMs by us firing the first salvo is a bit too dodgy.

    Conservatives are the American Taliban

    I'd to laugh that this could be ascribed to only one side of US politics when it clearly applies to both. Don't let me get in the way of the political hatred in your country though because the same shit applies in pretty much every Western country these days in respects to their own government...

    The queen is dead.

    Nah mate, everyone in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland could vote to get rid of the Monarchy, but it would make no difference if England voted to keep them. Ultimately the choice rests with England. Same with any choice we get in this awesome "Union" of ours.

    Fixed.

    The queen is dead.

    Not me, mate. If I'd be doing any fighting, it'd be to get away from the buggers not just to change the management. :lol:

    The queen is dead.

    And you've also got the opinion that it's an embarrasing relic of a system from a horrible part of our history. The history of this monarchy in particular has been nasty to many areas of its realm and even suggests crushing one of them in their anthem devoted to the monarchy. Aye, let's keep...

    So weird that I still immediately thought "well yeah, they're Russian! If anyone can fight in the cold, it's them!" Then I remembered Feb 22.

    Dunno if the French agreed with that so much.
