Do you really think Israel won't respond to a direct attack from Iran involving .. 200 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles? Oh, I definitely think they will retaliate. I was just hoping they wouldn't, to prevent this from spiralling out of hand. BTW, how "legal" was THAT in your ...

???

Bit of a non sequitur.

Israel blew up Iran's consulate in Damascus, in gross violation of the Geneva convention. Iran responded.

No nukes involved anywhere.

Hopefully it doesn't escalate any further.

Almost forgot about this one; probably my favorite song back like in 9th grade, before I became more interested in punk and reggae.

Nothing on this here message board makes me chuckle and roll my eyes more than reading Per’s posts. I swear nobody likes to hear themselves talk more than him, and nobody around here has a higher opinion of their own intelligence. He’s an atheist who tells theists what they believe. He’s a socialis...

At least they came from behind to get the one point.

It’s what the science predicts. Yes and we all know how accurate climate models have been in the past. :wink: Well, science has a better track record than religion at least. Jesus claimed the end of the world would come within the lifetime of those listening to him, yet here we are, 2000 years late...

This is where I made my military service. I trained at the A8 regiment (mentioned at the 6:50 mark) in Boden as a forward fire observer, and in the grand final maneuvre, when we’re in the forest for a full week of war games, I was stationed with an armoured battalion, riding along in an armoured per...

The difference is of course that Trump has been convicted of lies, fraud and rape in a court of law, and Biden has not. Or, OK, technically he wasn’t convicted of rape , because of the statutes of limitations and such. But he called a woman who claimed he had raped her a liar, and she sued him for ...

Christians are willing to even sacrifice their own beliefs to establ...

March was the warmest March on record, which makes it the tenth consecutive month to set a new record for warmest on record. Also: "the global average temperature is the highest on record, with the past 12 months being 1.58 degrees (Celsius) above pre-industrial levels," said Samantha Burgess, depu...

BTW in all this talk about electric car batteries where is the talk about how long a petrol engine will last before it requires constant parts replacement. how long alternators, fuel pumps, starter motors, and car batteries last and need replacing? electric motors have far fewer moving parts so sho...
