It feels kinda like how comic books bold words for emphasis, and just about as randomly applied

yes, if I could do maths

strings are in base two, got it

Damn Antarctic elites

Never mind the depths I was already on edge when I met the fucking crashfish

I suspect that this might be a tactic intended for the domestic audience. The current government is extremely unlikely to be in power a week from now, and might be doing this just to force the next government to either follow through or retract it

Apologies, I was using “NATO troops” as a shorthand for the large number of countries involved rather than the specific command structure. You are right to bring that up

The Korean War had over a million NATO troops and also tens of thousands of Soviet troops and, somehow, remained a proxy war. A particularly bloody one, but there was still no actual open full-scale warfare between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Even China and America remained officially at peace, despite making up the majority of the forces on each side

Well you’re a robot, it makes sense that you’d have no taste

The British monarchy does have a relatively unique position in having been atop one of the world’s biggest economies for far longer uninterrupted than any other extant royal family. You’d expect them to have amassed more than other royals solely because they’ve had access to far more opportunities to do so. That doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll have outpaced every other rich family in the UK, but I can see where the person above is coming from

The only way that what you’re saying makes sense is if you hold Cypriots liable for not pushing the UK off of the island completely. This is a ridiculous standard to place upon a colonised people, holding them responsible for the actions of their colonisers

So you’re blaming Cypriots for getting colonised?

How about you actually explain your thought process here rather than just continuing to leave sarcastic implications everywhere. Why, exactly, do you think that the country Cyprus is responsible for RAF Akrotiri?

jesus fucking christ the land that RAF Akrotiri is on is not and has never been part of the political entity that Hezbollah is issuing threats to here. It is not leased from the Cypriot government. There is no arrangement allowing Britain to run a base on Cypriot land. It is just not Cypriot land. You are doing the equivalent of blaming Morocco for something Spain does in Melilla, or blaming Spain for something Britain does in Gibraltar.

RAF Akrotiri is not in the country of Cyprus, it does not explain why Cyprus the country would be a target

Right, but… still not in Cyprus. And this entire thread started off as a question about why Hezbollah would view Cyprus as a target

Because it’s a list of “bases owned or used by the United States Armed Forces”. But that doesn’t change the fact that, as I said in my other comment, those bases are not in the country of Cyprus

Akrotiri and Dhekelia are British, not American, although American units are based there. More pertinently though, they’re not part of the country of Cyprus. They’re British overseas territories on the same island.

Hey, that looks like a successful session to me! They saw and interacted with most of what was prepared and there were even a few RP-driven decisions
