Watch the Turks swoop in here and get the Ottoman Empire back up and running

They could not manage an election in their main city. All bluster on the home front

Ashman · June 13, 2019, 10:19pm

Sid

You give that pathetic woman too much store

Julio_Geordio · June 13, 2019, 10:22pm

There’s no better time to get rid of the whole democracy lark than when there’s a war in the offing

ciarancareyshurlingarmy · June 13, 2019, 10:42pm

Speaking of war, will you be hurling on saturday evening? I plan to be there for it

Julio_Geordio · June 13, 2019, 10:46pm

I’ll be togging alright

Will the lapdogs in Britain volunteer to send “their boys” to the gulf ?

flattythehurdler · June 14, 2019, 6:21am

Or the ones here allow rendition flights through Shannon?
The whole thing is revolting.

Tassotti · June 14, 2019, 7:28am

Paddy the biggest lap dog of them all, they might as well make Shannon a US Military airport, all for a few rounds of Guinness

Julio_Geordio · June 14, 2019, 7:44am

Sure didn’t NATO build knock airport

StoneCold · June 14, 2019, 7:45am

You were lapping it up a few weeks ago

Tassotti · June 14, 2019, 7:47am

I’m Anglo American Irish

TheBird · June 14, 2019, 7:48am

Drank Guinness is soon forgotten

Julio_Geordio · July 11, 2019, 9:13am

We are only a spark away from igniting the entire middle east

TreatyStones · July 11, 2019, 12:59pm

Are the Iranians that bad? They seem like great WUMs.
If they went to war with the US and UK who would you be cheering for?

Julio_Geordio · July 11, 2019, 1:15pm

The US & the UK can’t win a war against them, they’d likely crush them in normal combat but it’d end up as Afghanistan times 10 for them after that. Surely not even the US are stupid enough to do that again. Trump has also been vehemently against war in the middle east now so to turn around and start the biggest war of them all would be a strange move, not that it would stop him.

I’d imagine a war if it does come would be Saudi vs Iran with the US hiding in the background supplying them and probably the Russians & Chinese in the background supplying Iran. Likely through an escalation in Yemen as a starting point.
The other option is a limited war with the US just bombing the shit out of them like they did to the Serbs in 99.
Of course then you have the Turks and Israelis only waiting for a chance to settle a few scores around the place.

The Iranians are pretty bad in terms of civil rights, freedom of press etc. but the Saudi’s put them to shame. The reality is the middle east is a fucked up place and every “Western” Intervention just makes it worse and worse.

Special_Olympiakos · July 11, 2019, 1:20pm

Iranian society isn’t half as backward as portrayed and certainly nowhere near Saudi in terms of sharia. It has the youngest population of any country there and whilst the people in charge are usually crazy clerics they are not representative of the general populace who are a progressive people. Tehran is a Western city with a western climate, snow in winter, nice summers. Its not a desert hellhole, unlike Iraq or Saudi.

Julio_Geordio · July 11, 2019, 1:27pm

They also have a Bobby Sands street which would have to be a plus one in their pro’s column

Special_Olympiakos · July 11, 2019, 1:30pm

Correct - The British Embassy is on it, hence why the name was changed so the Brits would have to use the address on official documents and look embarrassing. They are good WUMs in fairness, well ahead of their time.
