Problem is the Republican regime has disposed of experts and flooded roles with ex Fox presenters and shock jocks etc. Also as frequently evidenced, they have disdain for experts and people with subject knowledge and override them, so who knows what goes on there.

Re: US pausing Military aid to Ukraine

Wrong. Nowhere does he mention country names. France and the UK are the only 2 countries to pledge peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, if he wasn't talking about them then who was it genius? if anyone read his speech in full (which it appears nobody did) he refers to counties that are anti US outwardly...

5X-HBR is known to also use Ugandan AF serial AF521, so it is at best quasi-military, if not entirely military masquerading as civilian!

Re: Paris Olympics 2024

When I looked at FR24 the only things showing were a few things on the ground and 2 A330 tankers to the west of Paris doing racetracks.
All the stuff that goes overhead Paris was rerouted towards the UK and along the south coast.

You can join a political party at 16, but can't vote for them. You can join armed forces at 16 but not have a say in how the country is run [ Just because you can do something in Scotland and Wales doesn’t make it a good litmus test for doing the same in England. The politicians that made those dec...

Just read that Cdr Nigel Ward has passed away.
