How is is it a DEI appointment? You obviously know nothing about her. She proved herself in the field as a master spook decades ago and her expertise is in middle east and China operations is much needed now. Do share with us how you know what her qualifications are, and how her experience and past leadership roles make her a DEI appointment. perhaps you are just jealous that she has been a success and served her country faithfully for 20+ years.

Careful. In case you forgot, Russia pioneered the way with East Germany on the use of steroids and transformed many of its female athletes into quasi males. That is how they obtained so many gold medals. Now all of a sudden, Russia has discovered "morality". Russia loves its gulags. It also loves to murder and imprison dissidents. Drunk driving, domestic violence sexual assault, no worries, but not liking Putin or the war in Ukraine - off to Siberia labour camp you go.

I have no desire to engage or save anyone. Nor is it about being your fictional white knight. It is just a very easy personal choice: Right or Wrong. There is no gray area, no blurring. It is a choice between good and evil. Your argument is for evil and to harm others. You seek a justification to pay a pimp for the opportunity to have sexual relations with another person, and as this thread shows, there are many who seek to justify their behaviour. The likelihood that Thai people do similar is a weak excuse. One is responsible for one's own personal choices. At some point, the deck of cards of moral justifications and excuses will collapse. If you are so certain of your position, please share with your family and your co-workers (if you work) that you support the use of prostitutes in Thailand. Be sure to share your opinions on costs and criteria for the selection of a Thai prostitute.

Sure, a hero like Chelsea Manning or Edward Snowdon or Kim Philby, or Donald Maclean, or Guy Burgess, or Anthony Blunt, or John Cairncross, or Aldrich Ames and others.

It is not her place to promote her political views on school grounds. The Saltire of St. Andrew is an integral part of the national flag.

True, but it requires a purge of the mullahs and the Iranian Guard.

North Korea is Iran's nuclear equipment supplier.

Hun Sen is going to provoke the Thai military who will save face by giving Cambodia a beat down. The Cambodian dictator is acting as if he was still in the Khmer Rouge bullying people.

Why? They are having a difficult time fulfilling orders already made. In case you forgot the US defense industry doesn't have enough capacity to replace the military aid sent to Ukraine and is struggling to refill inventories. There are aircraft backorders.

The diaspora of refugees cannot return to iran because the people who forced them out will still be in power. A large number of the Iranian refugees faced death threats from the Iranian government.

In respect to signatories, I base my position that there were no "signatories" on the statement of Secretary of State Kerry's Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Legislative Affairs, Julia Frifield's statement to Congress and to John Pompeo when he was a member of the House of Representatives. She was speaking on behalf of the Secretary of State. The JCPOA is not a treaty nor an executive agreement and it is not a signed agreement. Please see her letter https://hrvoices.org/assets/attachments/documents/11.24.2015.state.dept.letter.jcpoa.pdf I cannot speak to Mr. trump's motives, but I believe he was right. Iran did not intend to comply with the intent of the undertaking, and it said so. Iran's deputy foreign minister said on July 14, 2015 that the recently reached nuclear deal with the world powers did not include limitations on Iran’s weapons capabilities or missile power. "We have told them [the P5+1 world powers] in the negotiations that we will supply arms to anyone and anywhere necessary and will import weapons from anywhere we want and we have clarified this during the negotiations,” Abbas Araqchi told Iranian state TV. A few days after that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reinforced that position, https://www.timesofisrael.com/irans-deputy-fm-we-told-world-powers-well-keep-arming-our-allies/ The Iranians did not consider themselves bound by the agreement. Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister, said that the United Nations version of the nuclear deal—which was recently approved by the Security Council—leaves all restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missile program as "non-binding." https://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-vows-to-buy-weapons-anytime-anywhere/ I believe it is unfair to say that Mr. Trump did not stick to the agreement, when the Iranians were stating within a week of agreeing to the JCPOA, that they did not have to comply. That's why the agreement was a farce.

Ratings and viewership are not an indication of integrity or reliability. FOX news has high viewer numbers as does Tucker Carlson. They are not particularly reliable. North Korea Television has excellent viewer numbers too.

whoa. I saw this in a Netflix K drama. it did not end well though.

No I did not miss it. My example draws upon the extensive anthropological research done into German behaviour when they are in a foreign land. Behaviour anthropologists have called this Pon Farr. The loose translation is that they lose their emotional control as they search for a safe space. One must take great care as they can demonstrate superhuman strength when they seek out their space.

I find that the riclag badge is far more reliable as an indication of crap. As soon as an unbelievable "claim" is promoted or endorsed, and I see the name riclag, I see a red flag warning of extremist nonsense.

No. There is one rule for Qatar and another for Liberia. Japan has its own rules, as does China, and so on and so forth. It's like there is one rule for each of your different AN names.

Hi there. I am trying to follow your line of logic. When you were posting under a different name the other day, you seemed to indicate that Iran was a risk. Now you seem to have gone back to the anti Israel position that you have when you use some of the other names. Would you be so kind as to post your positions and the names associated with those positions.

Trump did not "tear up" the Iran nuclear plan. Rather, the USA, looked at the evidence, some of which was provided by Israel and that was supported by Saudi Arabia and the UAE and made the decision to withdraw and to seek a new plan that was more specific and more effective. If Israel and opposing Arab nations can agree on a common threat, then that should be a big hint that there is something to be considered. The initial European authored plan that the USA had agreed to, was written with the intent of providing cover for multiple parties to benefit from the lifting of economic sanctions on Iran. The Indians, Chinese, Japanese and Europeans wanted access to the cheap iran oil and gas and they wanted to be able to sell hard goods to Iran again. The Europeans are good at waving their holier than thou fingers at the USA, but they were key party to the resilience of the totalitarian regime in Iran. Iran was evading the international inspectors in much the same way it was able to continue exporting its oil and gas despite internal sanctions. It used shadow fleets facilitated by China and Singapore brokers to move its oil and gas. It used shadow storage and enrichment sites to process and store its uranium. +

Trump's strategy is to force Iran to negotiate in good faith. By keeping Iran guessing, he is pressuring iran to negotiate, all without the USA putting itself at risk. Iran was screwing around at the Oman talks and was not negotiating in good faith. Everytime the USA cam up with a soution or response to an Iranian objection, Iran would come up with something else.

Trudeau had nothing to do with the removal of Russia from the G8. Stephen Harper was PM of Canada, the Conservative party was in office when Russia was removed after its illegal invasion of Crimea. Don't let the truth get in the way of your cheerleading for Russia, comrade.

If the munition is that powerful, body parts would be vaporized. How would body parts fly through the air?

I enjoyed a day trip to Mount Fuji and hiking on the volcanic sand and rock trail. The Japanese really take care of their popular hiking trails. Tokyo has multiple districts worth visiting. For a bit of a rip off extravagance, there is the short boat cruise in Tokyo Bay. For an easy couple of hours sightseeing, there is the monorail to Haneda. For extra fun, there are Ferry rides to some of the islands. The rooms are ok and less expensive than a hotel. The only downside to Japan, is that the knowledge of foreign languages is low, so one is best served by having a translation option.

Any amount collected from a non NHS qualifying person or someone not covered by an NHS agreement, is charged at a higher rate than what is used within the UK. The common charge is 150% of the fee schedule. On top of that are administrative fees. Every year, hundreds, if not thousands of patients are sent to the UK for specialized care. The fees paid generates a profit and the profit is used to subsidize the medical care received by UK residents who contribute nothing to the UK. You are presenting the accused as some sort of freeloading person, when the contrary may not apply. This does not excuse the alleged crime, but it puts your attempt to present him as some sort of freeloading refugee in the rubbish bin where it belongs. The UK does not have a problem with migrants from the Gulf states. They are typically in the UK on bonafide visas. Unlike most migrant source nations, the Gulf states do not interfere with deportations and are often helpful with repatriation..

Murder, incest, spousal and child abuse have also been around just as long. Your logic holds that we should turn a blind eye to it as well. A wrongful act is a wrongful act. The beneficiaries of bar fines are pimps. They make their living from the sale of men women, boys and girls for sexual acts. they are parasites. The practice leaves emotionally damaged people. That is why the discussion of whether or not pay a pimp is disgusting
