News / The Iran war and Poland [772]

Waiting till the intelligence says Iran is making a bomb.

Why else would they be enriching Uranium?

executing preemptive strikes

Apparently Trup needs permission from Congress for that. He would not get it.

If I had powerful backers.

You still couldn't no matter how much you tried.

My conclusion is that Iran does not possess nuclear weapons.

No sh1t Sherlock. They are however enriching Uranium to build them.

My point is that Israelis are doing it

Doing what? Do they even have statutory Winter Fuel Allowances in Israel?

It doesn't matter; I still don't like them. They need to go

A union of 65 million people are unlikely to change their recently elected government (with a supermajority) just because some random foreigner "doesn't like them".

Farage is causing

Causing a good laugh.

That is not howeve relevant to the war.

mostly Shia while Palestinians are mostly Sunni Arabs... why is this their special fight?

Apocalyptic mystics. Eschatology. About as nutty as Protestant evangelicals and their 'rapture' fantasies and their Book of Revelations Of A Schizo. The Shia in Iran are like that but more mystical.

They have layer upon layer of mystery and secrecy Even the real leader of the Twelver Shi'a (not Ayatollah Khameini) has been "in occlusion" for over a decade.

Of the rest, I bet 50 percent could not point to Iran on a map.

Many can't point to their own country in a map. When asked they point to either r*SSia or the whole of Africa because they're the "biggest".

It seems that the British government and elites are out of touch, neglecting the needs of pensioners who suffer during winter

It seems you're wrong. The £300 winter fuel payment was briefly taken off the richest few % who don't need it however it has since been restored universally due to being more costly to figure out who needs it than just to pay it.

The tariffs are just a vote grabbing stupidity and will benefit nobody, especially not Americans.

An absolute disaster so far.

I guess he is a figure head...more or less..

The problem is that the Pahlavi family were far from loved and have been exiles for nearly 50 years.

Who else?

Why him?

If he has a support bvase there within the country's structures. Not that he seems to.

I doubt there is a fully functional opposition ready by now....

There are enough Iranian dissidents with support at home who are in London right now.

The Shah's son ? Is that the plan ? My god

Comedy isn't it. Like when the Seppos tried to change all the top people in the Iraqi administration and every last new one was fired (and many shot) the day they left.

Carter fvcked things

He didn't. The hostaeg release was deliberately delayed.

Attacking without a "what next ?" plan is insane.

That is what they do.

Withou support from more developed societies it always ends in disaster and humiliation for them.

Nothing new.

He needs congressional approval to wage a war anyway. He is unlikely to get that approval

The internet is down in all of Iran. There were cyberattacks. The Italian PM had flown to Iran, and the Chinese are transporting something in fleets of planes to Iran.

The Seppos are sending a fleet to the Indian Ocean and the U.K. have a COBRA meeting and will doubtless be talking about granting them access to Diego Garcia.

Looks like this is it.

Trup said "Next week is going to be very big".

Nobody knew how big it was going to be before he said it.

UK, Ireland / The best way for a Polish person to learn English? [46]

Yes, similar. Unfortunately there were far fewer speakers of Wymysorys and a drive in some areas around Wilamowice towards Polish identity in the same period. The language is almost lost.

It's possible that they could simply collapse

That's far more likely. It's a fragile state with a regime hated by millions of its on citizens.

Even large sections of their army and police hate the regime.

That all needs longterm, excessive planning...but Iran is about to lose all these heads and deciders.....

That's my feeling to.

It's very easy to say what should be done. Saying how is a much harder task and actually doing it, especially under massive constraints is harder by an order of magnitude

This is worrying.

"The Americans should know that any US military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable damage."

Do they have the capacity to do this or are they just sabre rattling since they know the end is near.

News / Will Poland as a NATO member be drawn into the Israel/Iran war ? [250]

I don't get the gullibility

Didn't you suggest once that the world was flat?

The only "nuke threats" we know about is from the Hollywood studios based on the 1960s propaganda

Perhaps in your country.

Remember that Putler has threatened this and is currently upgrading their bases.

gullible people

Sadly true. Rightwing propaganda targets the gullible.

This one?
Salzburg is now in Poland

pitiful morons and gob smack

https://polishforums.com/travel/poland-videos-travelling-throughout-88708/

That was a classic thread.

Many new facts about Poland. Nobody knew that Salzburg is in Poland. You were the first person to tell everybody that Salzburg is in Poland. Salzburg is a really nice guy. His wife is beautiful.. Nobody ever told them that Salzburg is in Poland as well as you.

It's great to know about

I just read that the Saudis raised their oil production shortly before it all started....they surely got a call

Not only Saudi. Several of the countries in a position to do so have increased production recently. Maybe they got a call, maybe they're just doing it because the deteriorating world situation makes that a good course of action.

Great. So Anglo racism explains why Saudi Arabia is treated like the child with Down's Syndrome, and Iran instead like a delinquent teenager

If that had a meaning, it would be worth reading.

, most Saudi men treat their wives like.

Have you met most Saudi men then?

The state has rules in both countries about women's dress and customs differ in each country by region. People differ in their individual tastes too.. Many of the thousands of Saudis who go to Bahrain, Kuwait, Dubai etc at the weekend are happy to relax and behave differently from home.

In Saudi, hair covering isn't mandatory however it is a tradition for Arab women in conservative societies. Some people are stricter than others. Saudi has now removed the requirement for a flowing overdress though most wear it in public by choice. They've come from the dark ages to the modern world in less than half a century. So what if their society is conservative?

Moan about it more, why don'cha?

And even if KSA were as repressive as you suggest or can drag up from the internet, so what? Does that excuse anything that happens in Iran?
