If the police, government and institutions did their job, etc.. Sorted it for you

Iran will defeat USA in the final, and Trump will HAVE to meet them because he has already agreed with Infantino to hosting the winners at the White House or else he'll take back the FIFA 'peace medal'.

If I recall correctly, when dead American servicemen and women were returned during the tenure of a Democrat president, the Republicans weren't on site because it's not and never has been protocol. Only the C-i-C is supposed to honor the fallen on their repatriation (unless he's playing golf). As for signs of disrespect, at least the Democrat C-i-C's were respectfully bare-headed on these solemn occasions. But don't let that get in the way of your consistently and persistently dumb rhetoric. You do you.

The OP's friend is virtually guaranteed to be like most Thai scooter riders in that A) She wasn't wearing a helmet, and B) She didn't have (never had) insurance, and possibly C) it wasn't her scooter. So, the next step is D) suck it up buttercup. Since the OP's friend is Thai, she probably already is.

Good point, well made. There are cops out in Bahn Nawk that are being investigated for an incident where, after a minor collision, the driver was suspected of being drunk solely on his being incoherent. He was dumped in a cell until someone twigged that this was something else, and he was moved to the hospital. The preliminary medical investigation indicates that he had a stroke, probably while driving, hence the accident. I believe there's another one where a drunk female scooter driver was dumped on the floor at the police station for several hours before, once again, being moved to hospital where serious internal injuries were discovered.

Iran pulled out of the World Cup last week.

I thought it was going to take the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit couple of weeks to move from Japan, so who's going to take it next week? Oh, hold on... that's right, that new-fangled "modern airpower" is going to do it.

The passengers who wait until the food trolley is sighted and rolling before getting up and going to the dunny. The seat back recline 'slammers', especially the short-arsed ones that don't even need the extra room. The back-of-the-bus passengers who stick their carry-on in the overheads at the front as soon as they're onboard to save them time when deplaning, but means the front overheads fill up before the front pax get boarded. CX boards passengers from front to back which nips this nonsense in the bud.

As somebody posted earlier, "Have you been watching the video? Do you read the publicly accessible reports? Do you understand how accurate they are?" How about the hit on Fujairah, the hit on the US Embassy in Baghdad, the hit in Saudi Arabia where five US Air Force KC-135 refuelling planes were damaged, just sitting on the ground? You know, the Iranian missile and drone attacks that haven't stopped since day one.

How do you know that they aren't? (rhetorical)

Of course you are, replete with multiple exclamation points. But I DID mention 2014 and how the legality of wars dropped from the conscience of all parties involved when Russia invaded and annexed Crimea. Rant all you want about Trump if it makes you feel better, but stop beating your gums about the legality of wars. It's the new world order and nobody who really counts, cares any more. They talk like they do, but it's just talk.

Trump has never been interested in, or worried about, the legalities of invasion and war! And Trump wasn't POTUS in 2014 either. Next...

And with regard to this particular thread, it's the turn of the mighty whitey "everyone" to be outraged at "everything".

Give over. Nobody's been overly interested in, or worried about, the legalities of invasion and war since early 2014.

I have no problem with a country bestowing nationality on their native born regardless of their ethnicity, religion or skin tone. America has no problem bestowing US citizenship on foreigners who want to live, work and raise their families there, regardless of their ethnicity, religion or skin tone. Nobody is being "imported" here. Nobody is "becoming French" here.

Conspicuously, Kharg hasn't been targeted by Israel or the US yet because it's the spigot for oil and gas for south Asia and the Far East which arguably is the most vulnerable oil and gas market. Note how the surges in oil price occur when the Asian markets open. Send in the Marines to protect it, keep the oil flowing, preserve market calm and keep important allies, and China, onside. It falls easily to superior US military prowess, whereupon the mad mullahs, hiding "like rats" redirect their missiles to target Kharg Island, blowing up the spigot, causing a serious and sustained global oil price surge, including the US, turning Chinese abstention at the UN Security Council into objection, and killing a few of the US's "boots on the ground". All the above while touting the miracles of "modern airpower" and air superiority. Winning. Queue the inevitable and witless "So you support Iran...got it" response from the forum's dullards.

What's to "understand" about "modern airpower"? Please enlighten us. PS: try not to deflect.

be careful, we already have a plethora of name-calling, pigeon-holers on this forum who pretend to know the political bias of anonymous people. please take a number.

Bingo! And the award for the idiotic "not a typical white persons name" post of the day goes to ... Bonus points for getting it in early.

We have to thank Dubya for introducing this shockingly blinkered worldview with his, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists" address to Congress back in 2001. Fundamentally, if you don't agree to becoming a belligerent and bombing the bejezus out of the enemy, then you must be the enemy. Diplomacy was mortally wounded that day.

Oh my, what a pathetically girlish riposte. Is something wrong?

The US and Israel are only claiming "air superiority", for whatever that is worth.

How did US Navy SEALS cap Bin Laden about 230 miles from the coast and 4000 feet up a mountain? Sheesh...

If there are no "boots on the ground" there can be no claims of any invasion.
