Iran regime in its death throes but collapse could trigger bloodshed

bannork · 6 hours ago6 hr

Guli Francis-Dehqani An Anglican bishop who fled Iran after the 1979 revolution has warned the country’s ruling regime may be nearing its end — but cautioned that the final phase could be violent and unpredictable. Guli Francis-Dehqani, the Church of England Bishop of Chelmsford, said the government in Tehran appears increasingly desperate to cling to power. Speaking from the UK, she said she currently cannot reach friends or contacts inside Iran as communications collapse amid escalating turmo

How to win a war? The recipe.

swissie · 20 hours ago20 hr

How to win a war. - During WW2 allied forces realised that the Nazi-regime could not be eliminated by massive bombardment alone. - Vietnam war: The most massive Air-Strikes in history. 500.000 US troops on the gound, but the South Vietnamese "boots on the ground" were never really sure why they should shoot at their northern countrymen. And today? Once more, aireal supremacy should "win a war". A highly flawed and expensive project that has not worked in the past. To "take out" the true rule

With Iran essentially defenseless and disarmed, I predict we will take Kharg Island within a week.

Trump pleads for allied warships to guard Hormuz

bannork · 13 minutes ago13 min

Donald Trump has urged Britain and other allies to send warships to the Middle East to help secure the Strait of Hormuz — a sharp reversal days after claiming the conflict with Iran was effectively over. The US president appealed directly to foreign governments to join naval patrols protecting oil tankers in the strategic waterway. The plea came as Tehran threatened attacks on shipping routes that carry a large share of the world’s crude exports. The shift marks a stark change in tone from Trump

I find it rather disgusting for someone to suggest that a British Iranian woman who's brother was murdered when she was 13 knows little of Iran. It was the country she was born into, and ideed spent her formative years. she in fact fled in 1980 when her 24 year old brother was murdered by the new government. and a year after attackers shot her mum, and tried to shoot her dad.

Modern AirPower is much more effective than during WW2. Check out the YouTube WWII US Bombers. It’s amazing they hit anything with the lack of accuracy in WW2.

UK Definition of Anti-Muslim Hate Amid Free Speech Debate

Evil Penevil replied to ASEAN NOW News's topic in World News - Discussion

I wonder if this old sign from the now-defunct Roo Bar on Walking Street in Pattaya would be considered anti-Islamic under the U.K. definition. I believe the wording of the sign goes back to a Thai-owned bar in Bangkok in the 1980s, but many farang thought it funny and the sign spread after the Internet took hold. You could see this sign in numerous bars in the 1990s. In its day, this sign was much m ore prevalent than anti-Israeli signs. I've had this photo for years; I don't remember the source.

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 Art of Becoming Irrelevant

123Stodg · 1 hour ago1 hr

I am not going to address anyone directly because I do not want anyone to feel like a jilted lily, but I have noticed something interesting about my own forum reading habits. For one, I read far more than I post. Often I do not even log in to scan through a few topics, and if someone averages about a dozen posts a day, I tend to skip right over anything they write. It did not start that way. At first I just noticed certain posters who write extremely long posts waffling on about their personal

Religion is no joking matter!

unblocktheplanet · 7 hours ago7 hr

Don’t make fun of anybody’s religion… they might be right! The Nation of Islam worldview was dominated by an apocalyptic and prophetic vision which held that the African American, the "original" or "Asiatic" black man, fell into a state of social domination that began with slavery.'1 This situation was a direct result of the machinations of an evil black scientist, Yakub, who grafted white people, also known as "devils," from original black people a little more than 6,000 years ago.

McDonald’s Beef Patties in Thailand, Any Good?

Kyoto Kyle · 18 hours ago18 hr

I’m wondering if McDonald’s beef patties in Thailand are actually any good in terms of meat quality. I can’t remember the last time I had one here. Maybe once or twice many years ago. The reason I’m asking is because I just realized there’s a 24 hour McDonald’s within walking distance of where I’m staying now. If the patties actually taste decent, I was thinking that late one night I might buy two double cheeseburgers, or maybe two Quarter Pounders with cheese, take them home, stack all four pa
