    You mean like this:

    From Sardy's brave Finland

    Well, people were not mass-murdered in those. Most deaths were from starvation and diseases, which were rampant in Finland to all in 1942, especially during winter 1941/42. About 17% of prisoners did die from starvation and diseases 1941-1944. Those were prison camps, not death camps like your "little Auschwitz" there. 

    Interestingly, it is same percentage of people that did die when Soviet Union transferred population away from Karelia during Finnish attack. So, we were not any more cruel to Soviet population than Soviets themselves. 

    You are falsely accusing others of genocide (like you love to do) and not seeing your own genocidal history. Talk about double standards.

    No gas chambers for starters anyway.

    Not quite but close...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasenovac_concentration_camp

    Unlike German Nazi-run camps, Jasenovac lacked the infrastructure for mass murder on an industrial scale, such as gas chambers. Instead, it "specialized in one-on-one violence of a particularly brutal kind",[8] and prisoners were primarily murdered with the use of knives, hammers, and axes, or shot.[9]

  3. This is pretty good stuff about US politics in 80's and now...

    Was John Milius blacklisted by Hollywood for directing Red Dawn?

    No, of course not. Red Dawn was a success and it had already been well known for years that politically, John Milius was about 5,000 miles to the right of Attila the Hun. 😆 )

    Red Dawn

    What mattered is that John Milius made movies that made money! Red Dawn had a budget of $17 million and did $38 million in box office!

    Politics weren't nearly as divisive in 80s America as they are now. Back in the 80s, liberals and conservatives simply disagreed with each other. Today they hate each other. That’s not good.

    I was thinking something like 1000 tons, like a Flower, although hopefully rather faster.

    My view, probably best to start with something inshore, before we are willing to let RPV's off into the deep atlantic without their hand being held. Certainly for the Uk, they would be a lot of use sanitizing Faslane for our SSBN's.

    Thing is...small & Atlantic does not combine well. Range is lacking and weather often sucks for smaller ships.

    I do! And this is the most important part by far!! The danger to the U.S. is the left, not foreign affairs. 

    Not sure if "throwing the allies under the bus" (as Trump has threatened quite a few times) is very good policy either domestically or as foreign policy.

    I don't remember that. Perhaps you have a link you can share.

     

    Beslan was quite big news back then:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beslan_school_siege

    terrorist attack that started on 1 September 2004, lasted three days, involved the imprisonment of more than 1,100 people as hostages (including 777 children)[5] and ended with the deaths of 334 people, 186 of them children,[6] as well as 31 of the attackers.[1] It is considered the deadliest school shooting in history.[7]

    Right.

    For a couple of hundred tons, particularly if you arent worried about fire suppression or survivability, you can pack a lot into a small warship, and throw it away if need be. By contrast,  you build a 2000 ton warship, it takes years and millions to build, and you lose it because a fuse blows. Doesnt seem like a really great design choice to me.

    Something the size of a flower class corvette, packed out with sensor and ASW systems, to me would make a lot of sense. I dont think it really adds up going beyond that.

    You could by our Pohjanmaa-class corvettes. Though I don't understand why they call it "corvette"...4300t..

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pohjanmaa-class_corvette

    Still probably too small for Atlantic.

    No it didnt. But equally he didnt go hiring Jewish contract killers to fight on Britains behalf.

    You know, I once sat on a jury trial where the young defendent whom was found with a drug phone in his car, got the car back from a 'friend' 5 minutes before he was arrested, and the phone belonged to him. This is above this level of credability.

    You did hire Gurkhas, but at least those are usually in uniform :D Fijians too, if i recall correctly. Etc. :D

  9. I have scant sympathy towards "those poor innocent Gazans".

    https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/poll-shows-palestinians-back-oct-7-attack-israel-support-hamas-rises-2023-12-14/

    Seventy-two percent of respondents said they believed the Hamas decision to launch the cross-border rampage in southern Israel was "correct" given its outcome so far, while 22% said it was "incorrect". The remainder were undecided or gave no answer.

    .....

    Fifty-two percent of Gazans and 85% of West Bank respondents - or 72% of Palestinian respondents overall - voiced satisfaction with the role of Hamas in the war. 

    I wonder if they still think that in Gaza. Supporters seem to be found even here in TankNet. :P

    Again, have you ever been in a war zone and went days on end without food? And the only chance to cure your hunger or to provide for a family is by taking a risk to swim and grab something from the sea? 
     

    I don’t see the stupidity in this. Rather I feel quite sorry for them. But somehow you do so please clarify 

    I have been in a war zone(s) and if you call e.g. MREs food, then that's on you.

    Still didn't have urge to run into sea or been trampled by mob.

    Stop projecting  your own insecurities to others, it's not healthy. 

  11. There is something very wrong with people in Gaza... They have not learned yet that stupidity kills...

    https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/18-palestinians-killed-in-gaza-by-aid-airdrop-malfunction/3175307

    At least 18 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday after an aid airdrop malfunctioned, Gaza’s government media office said.

    The fatalities included 12 people who drowned in the sea in the northern Gaza Strip and six in a stampede while gathering to obtain aid, the office said in a statement.

    “The aid airdrops pose a real threat to the lives of hungry Palestinians,” the statement warned.

    It said some aid fell into the sea, inside Israel or in war zones.

    So basically, its Bidens fault then.  :)

    CNN claims that 4 guys have just been arrested. Who knows, maybe it actually is the guys rather than The Usual Chechens.

    FSB is already saying those have connection to Ukraine. Quelle surprise! :P

  13. Considering that attack was supposedly by ISIS-K which is based on Pakistan tribal areas and formed by disgruntled ex-Taleban (responsible for airfield attack in Kabul 2021 that killed 13 US troops and about 170 civilians), Syrian connection does not seem too relevant.

    There is some information that these guys came to Russia via Tadzhikistan.
