Not sure what they deserved to be sent 432's. Probably be because we couldn't sell them.

People might not agree with having a king but it's often a great source of soft power

Hence why I never wanted to be a sailor. At least in the army you could hide in a bush or in the RAF behind a desk or dessert trolley.

Guy I used to play rugby with left to be a submariner
He was a lock, about 19st pure muscle, 6ft6 - must've been a miserable existence under water, but he loved it

As I understand it, it takes a certain mindset to be a submariner.

You've either got it or you haven't.

Russia and it's insistence on trying to be a global power is becoming a serious menace now. If it's not cyber attacks on business and civil infrastructure, it's attacking its neighbours, it's constant nuclear threats now we are continuously having to deal with their absolute incompetence and stupidity on things like Submarines, oil tankers and a that ship that nearly sank running away from Syria last year.

I prefer the mindset of increasing my chances of survival by not being in a pressured container, deep underwater and attached to a nuclear reactor.

I imagine they all pass the time with endless sing songs of under the sea.

Was going to say the opportunities to make seamen gags and say "helloooo sailor" would never get old.

Welcome to the submarine. It's long, hard and full of seamen.

Not good if true, I guess you have to trace how they ended up in the drones. We allegedly supply parts that end up in Israeli weapons so wouldn't be surprised.

How many times can Trump get roped in by the same ploy!?

Must have had more concussions from bumping his head on the internals of the sub than he would ever get playing rugby

Meeting in Hungary seems odd.

Considering Hungary is part of the European Union and also signed up to the International Criminal Court which has an arrest warrant out for Putin.

Massive **** you to Nato, the ICC and Europe. I think Hungary pulled out the ICC only in June.

Europe don't really have the balls to deal with Orban.

Hungary are kinda the biggest pariah within the EU and right on the edge of leaving / getting kicked out themselves. Orban is a wannabe dictator but only at weekends between 6 and 9:30. He's treading down the same path as the likes of Putin but sat down for a nap after 5 minutes.

Well the USA has just sold out Ukraine to the Russians. Practically a full capitulation to all Russian demands.

If Europe hadn't been so ******* naive and spineless all these years this might have been avoided.

 

[Quel Carreleur]

As ever, Trump is proposing Putin's deal.
This time, with dodgy translation from the original Russian (apparently)

There was always going to be a time when USA pulled out and left it to everyone else - looks like that time has arrived.
Distraction from Epstein or distraction from warmongering in Venezuela?

Europe has always said it would continue supporting Ukraine if/when USA TACOs, just remains to be seen if this is true or just words.
