There are some weird people in life but allot of them seem to be on this forum.
Was just thinking that!

There have been a lot of people (actually just a few) who have talked a lot of nonsense on the forum but Napshnap is closing on Alex and James rapidly as we approach the final furlong

EDIT: Maybe around the bend would have been more appropriate
Whatever, Pat, but I certainly don't wanna be part of this, I can afford not to be a part of this, at least in terms of freedom of thought

You're the only one burying his head in the sand. It's fair enough to point out the hypocrisy of the west but to then use that to justify what's going on in Ukraine is ridiculous.

Pat, I want this conflict over a soon as possible, but I also want nato to f off Russia's borders.

I don't justify it, I said that the West is a bad example that Russian authorities use every time someone criticises them - viewtopic.php?p=298781#p298781
I want them to stop being assholes, but I also want the same from the West.

Yeah true, some of them celebrate here (in their posts) every violent gruesome happening.
Some of them are cheer leaders for a country that has incorporated the Azov Nazi regiment into their armed forces. I mean, imagine supporting anything to do with Nazis and & having the audacity to call others who simply call out some hypocrisy weird.

I’d rather be weird than a Nazi fan.

I want Betfair to manage their markets properly and I want to get off with certain Sky News anchorwomen, but I accept the latter will never happen.

Countries bordering Russia have every right to join NATO and Putin's actions demonstrate why they need to be. If Ukraine was part of NATO 100,000 people would still be alive.

You mean the former will never happen... more chance of you getting off with the newsreader than Betfair manging their markets properly I'd say :lol:

I'd like to think so. I should have said I don't expect the latter to happen. Don't know what's so difficult about unsuspending a market after a goal. :)

I wasn’t aware of the following:

RAF Fylingdales in North Yorkshire provides a continuous ballistic missile early warning service to the UK and US Governments, ensuring a surprise missile attack cannot succeed.

As a key element of the Space Surveillance Network, the Station is capable of tracking objects 3000 miles into space. Live tracking of satellites, including the International Space Station, is a regular occurance 365 days a year 24/7. Other objects that come within our field of view include space debris, parts of rocket bodies and old satellites no longer active.

Approximately 320 Service Personnel, Ministry of Defence Police, and civilian staff work at RAF Fylingdales.

The Ballistic Missile Early Warning System was a partnership between the United States of America and the United Kingdom to provide radar coverage to counter intercontinental ballistic missile attack.

The early 1960s saw two stations completed and become operational at Thule in Greenland and Clear in Alaska. To complete the radar coverage for the United States and to provide advanced warning it was decided to build a third station in England.

The site on the North York Moors was selected and construction work began in 1960. The construction of the iconic golf balls was completed and the site became operational in September 1963. However, with advances in technology the radar system was upgraded in 1990 and the Solid State Phased Array Radar was declared operational in October 1992.

The system is linked to 8 missile systems positioned at different locations. Each missile system has 24 Sky Sabre missiles which can travel upto 2,800 mph to its target.

Information and protection coverage only applies to the US and UK.

Russian reservists have reported to Sky News that they've been contacted by recruitment agencies about the possibility of being mobilised.

Will the US launch preemptive strike on Russia May 9th.

Unthinkable but dark web hacking chatter thinks something is in the pipeline.

Biden approval rating is shattered, so maybe he thinks doing something mad will propel him to stardom. After all, nobody thought the US was going to drop a bomb on Japan back then, did they.

Scary times.
