Re: World of Warships

This is what happens when WG refuses to listen to feedback from CV captains for two years then rush out a rework of an entire class in under two months while - again - refusing to listening to testers.

Re: Merkel supports Macron's proposal for a unified European Army to protect Europe from Russia, China, and the US.

Not really sure if you can call Germany a great power to be honest. We might be a global soft power, but there is very little hard power to back it up that is not centered on Europe only.

Re: Brexit and General UK politics thread

If he is sacrificing his country and his electorate (for the low-income people and workers will be hardest hit) for the sake of party politics in an attempt to gain power then he is even more of a treacherous egoistical snake than I thought. I really hope that is not his strategy because it really r...

Re: Merkel supports Macron's proposal for a unified European Army to protect Europe from Russia, China, and the US.

It is a good idea and follows several recent moves between Germany and France to consolidate defence projects, such as: - Germany taking over the development of a joint Main Battle Tank - France taking over the development of a joint new fighter aircraft The main question underlying this is if it is...

Re: Brexit and General UK politics thread

Well, Corbyn has always been a snake when it comes to Brexit, happily scrapping all the workplace protections and safety laws the EU brought in favour of being able to govern away from the bad EU oversight. That's Rees Mogg. Corbyn wants to do away with TFEU 107 so he can use state money to pump up...

Re: The myth of the kindly General Lee

Well, Lee was a Napoleonic military thinker so he was always hoping to take advantage of defeat in detail tactics and strategies against the larger armies of the North. The assumptions the South always made was that the longer they could draw out the war and the more individual victories that they ...

The myth of the kindly General Lee

Grant also tried to be fairer to Native Americans than most of his predecessors and successors, which gives him a bit of a bonus for character in my book.

I will always respect Ecclestone's performance. Tennant I liked, but he was not on the same level IMO....Smith I did not like at all, Capaldi was great in the few episodes I watched.

The America I used to know is pretty much dead with this unless there is an overwhelming blue wave in November that guarantees an impeachment of Trump and Kavanaugh.

I like to think the user survived - did they sent their blade back home to the family when an officer died? I don't think so. Maybe it was an important battle, so he kept it as a memento, or he just took it back home, hoping to repair, and it would have cost more than a new one (or the fashion had ...
