News / The Iran war and Poland [733]
It was a show of strength. At least it was precision bombing by the Yanks.
I gather they did.
This war is strange, first the Americans bombed empty bunkers in Iran, then the Iranians attacked empty American bases. All because everyone warned each other.
It was a show of strength. At least it was precision bombing by the Yanks.
I only hope that the Americans informed the Russians in advance

By continuing capitalism, imperialism and authoritarianism in an age where technology is evolving faster than humans.
Probably. It could have waited, however as we know, it's a show of strength. No getting bogged down with panicked reactions to the little provocations like fires and letter bombs and burning electricity substations. No squealing about markets flooded with Chinese dreck. Forget Trup's bluster; it's a quiet baring of teeth.
Chess moves with China and elsewhere. Maybe more bridge than chess. Quick, dirty and unambiguous.
Where did we go wrong?

Is then this really the best time to bomb Iran?

Off-Topic / An average brain weight by ethnicity/nation [32]
True. There are people who have much of their brain as a void due to some sort of congenital issue. They aren't less intelligent than others.
But, fellas, it's not the weight of the brain that matters but the efficiency if its circuitry

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [184]
There are things to like there however I didn't enjoy the year I spent there very much. That's not the sole fault of poznan though.
Warsaw is a big city for me however it's not too big and I've lived in bigger ones. The scale is ok.
Yes. That was an interesting bit of town generally. All the nice places have gone now and been replaced (if at all) by less interesting things.
think I'd go a bit bonkers (or more bonkers) in a small one like Poznan or something.

Me too. The Times this morning said that Khameini is hidden and uncontactable. The real spiritual leader has of course been in occlusion for a decade. Whether that will change is another matter however Khameini may well try something very stupid.
I'd think the regime would have to go into deep hiding

Probably, however they are unpredictable enough to try it and could bring a bomb into any country they have an embassy at in the diplomatic bag. Or if they don't have an embassy, they could use a pariah state that does.
Trup could do nothing whatsoever to stop them.
If they really try anything then this will be their end

@Paulina
I suggest you stay on topic.
Now, what do posters here think about the risk of a dirty bomb?
According to Iran, their enriched uranium was moved before the recent attack. If they are not lying, they could easily make a dirty bomb and get it abroad.

I'd be wary of YouTube stuff. And old documentaries.
The important issue right now is that Iran is angry, wounded and still has its uranium. They can't make a nuke however they can make a dirty bomb. Even many.

A tip. Go to Makro (no card needed nowadays; you just ask on the way in) and buy the catering packs of sliced boczek. It's sliced thickly and is better quality than the vaccuum packed dreck in supermarkets. The good bit is still missing but the quality is sometimes very good.
Prince Fvcking Polo. Yuk.

Iran are wrong to police clothing, however Euroepan countries do to a lesser extent (France is unpleasant about it) and clothing does tend to suit weather, etc. Some of the differences are good ones. Modern western clothing is based largely on English urban wear and local differences are nice.
And now their sites are destroyed but (according to them) the enriched Uranium isn't. The tw ocountries that attacked them had better prepare for dirty bombs.
Don't you think that all those differences make it more interesting?

Ironically, you used to be able to get decent lamb kebabs. When they were actually hand done by people from countries where lamb is popular. Now the huge slabs of mystery meat just come from Makro or Selgros. There's a big difference in price between the better and the worse ones too.
The worst kebab I've ever eaten was just by the way in to Stogi Beach in Gdansk. It had a huge sign saying "Najlepsze kebaby w mieście". The 'kebab' was gristly pork with surowka, mayonnaise and ketchup.
And chips? I asked (in Polish) a waitress (the OKish place at the bottom of Mickiewicza by the film school, the one that does big cocktails) if the chips were real or frozen. Her reply? "As far as I know, all chips are always frozen"!!!
Lack of lamb is one of the many reasons the kebabs here are so dismal btw.

"free bleeding" for men. For those who don't know - menstrual blood is not just blood, btw:

MiniEuropa used to sell French lamb. It must have been from anorexic teenage sheep though
I once had an occasional guest refuse lamb. The same guy, when I did nice medium rare steaks, asked if his could go back in the pan for 20 (yes 20) minutes.
Nice joint of lamb
