Given Trump admires Putin so much, he's probably happy his Russian mate is benefitting from the Iran war.

Which is maybe what we should have been and continued to do. Ok present day we might still be thinking 'time for a plan B' however we'd have had decades of direct security and financial benefit from DIY'ing it.

I'm maybe wrong, might there not have been a cost curve that would eventually have been to the consumers benefit though? i.e. if we had ramped up our own extraction and refining processes decades ago, yes there's an upfront capital cost, and recurring to maintain/upgrade, however if we had...

Very true.

Another perspective in all this is that of the victims family. There was a tv prog of families in the States that had family members who were murdered, with the perpetrator on death row and their time of execution nearing. It was a very interesting and quite emotional watch. I think one of...

Years back we had someone come to the door. 'Hello, we've recently finished a job in your area putting pvc cladding around a roofline. We have some left over. Would you be interested in us installing it on your house?' We said no thanks. A neighbour along the road took up their offer ... she...

We had/have the North Sea, why decades ago didn't we just ensure we could produce the end product ourselves. Too straightforward an approach no doubt. Not good enough an approach to ensure multiple people can make £££ profits. So here's an idea, let's conveniently overcomplicate the whole thing.

The entire energy thing is a farce. Was discussed on Debate Night last night (think Scottish QT) and they were discussing how, even if we allowed the opening up of more fields in the North Sea, it wouldn't directly afford us any more energy security or decrease in prices because the product is...

Ok it's a tv drama but The Capture gives a possible/probable insight as to what's to come AI wise. In many ways, frightening.

Corruption. Bent cops. Compromised evidence. The need to get a conviction.

For me it's a no. Couple of reasons. Firstly, if prison is tough enough, to be locked up for years (although often not enough) is surely more of a punishment for them than being disposed of. How tough is prison? That's a whole other debate. Secondly, I feel we need to be very careful when...

The messaging coming from The White House on this (and let's be honest other stuff) is very mixed and inconsistent. The tv prog Veep springs to mind. I don't think this is playing out how they thought it would whatsoever. As for the Strait, they (the States) will need to get control of it...

Years back when I lived at home, we had an old couple living next door. They made the mistake of saying 'yes' to someone going door to door asking 'need any gardening done?' They cut back all his prized shrubs and bushes to within an inch of their life, quite a few beyond that i.e. they were...

Is the 4.5m height a typo, I'm assuming so? Is it this sort of result you're aiming for?

Like a lot of the indigenous population ;)

Why, because I didn't know something? On that basis, we're all slow. Jog on t w a t.

Not sure if it's been mentioned in the thread, however the history of this region is quite interesting. I only learnt this recently through folk making the point on the telly box. Assertion being Iran had a democratic setup in the (50s?) but their leader wanted to nationalise the oil industry...
