Because the sailors would just hand over one of their most advanced warships.

They’re more like guidelines

You think they live on a warship?

A torpedo, not a bomb.

Declarations of war are effectively obsolete. It’d come down to the situation and haggling about proportionality. It was unquestionably a valid military target, and Iran’s specific threats against international shipping may have opened the door to preemptive action against their naval assets.

Sounds like the perfect moment to attack it.

Acoustic buoys? Your expectations may be a bit high. It took days to find the Titan submersible when they had acoustic readings, they knew where it was aiming to go, it wasn’t moving, and it wasn’t actively hiding. The ocean is rather vast.

The EU is not going to allow falsified place-of-origin papers.

What sensor logs? The first time that ship was aware something was up was when the stern blew off.

Its simply that the US hasn’t needed to. There have been three ships sunk by torpedoes from a sub since 1945.

Improvements in communication security and aerial capabilities mean its more advantageous to preserve the invisibility of the submarine and use it to identify and track targets, and for aerial and surface combatants to engage.

If you actually mean they haven’t been used — they have. They’re very powerful tools for intelligence gathering.

It wouldn’t be fair use at all.

What makes you think it’s weird?

And yet he’s never taken out the terrorist in the room

From a nuanced perspective, it’s Netanyahu and his party that have largely created the fascism at the heart of Israel

From its creation, Zionism was racist. It sought to abandon the Jewish tradition of nation being shared belief, to a nation based on race. It seeks to build an exclusively Jewish state, to the exclusion of all others but particularly the arabs.

He told LBC last week that Zionism wasn’t racist, and that it was just Netanyahu making it racist.

Polanski is starting to fall out with his party. He, a committed zionist, while his party wants to pass a resolution defining zionism as apartheid. It’ll probably end in tears before the next general election.

It doesn’t allow residence in the “British Isles”. It would however allow residence in Ireland.

There was a scandal a couple of years ago where men were being prosecuted for sexual offences without the claims being properly investigated. A high percentage of trials collapsed when the accusers were caught lying, but by then the men had been publicly named and a great deal of damage had been done.

This led to a see-saw where the CPS dropped cases unless the evidence met a very high bar.

So much bollocks in one comment, you could start a breeding programme.

Which is FAFO on the sailors’ part. The thing that’s outrageous is the civilians who will be murdered.
