  1. US relations with Taiwan has nothing to do with microchips. That has been an overplayed card in the media.

  2. It now means that the UK can trade food products with Canada without facing EU taxes nor EU protection measures. Before Canadian products could not be free sold into the UK because the French would have certain obligations as would German industry. I would love to see Canadian manufactured cars in the UK.

  3. China does not have enough nuclear weapons to engage in full exchange.

  4. Yes Iran did commit acts of terrorism and got punished.

  5. Every western country is having issues right now with supply of products. Germany right now is having issues with logistics as well.

  6.  @LostInLoading  In the real world were an invasion has to take place it requires troop carriers which China do not have enough of. China only has one carrier that would be operational for their naval air force to operate from. Taiwan does not need to operate from sea it only needs to defend and it has an air defence system that would turn the Chinese navy into scrap even before it can get near land. Taiwan has an airforce that would be operating from land and would also have a Naval screen to intercept Chinese naval aircraft. Maybe if China throws everything at Taiwan it may destroy the place but that is a big if.

  7. But how does this super secretive technology outperform the rules of physics. With that level of technology they could conquer North Korea in a day and nobody would be the wiser as to what happened. They could have Missile systems that are planned just to out maneuver the oppositions systems to make it appear like there is not a large gap in technology. Why allow rogue countries to go nuclear when we know exactly what they are going to do with the weapons. With that technology the US could conquer the solar system in the next 10 years. The SR-72 blackbird is nothing like the objects in those videos. They are operating under different rules of physics.

  8.  @MrAstraldreamer  Just because it is not within the ranges of world technology does not mean it is extraterrestrial. Your comment is just as speculative as the original comment just at different ends.

  9.  @arcaine3907  WW3 has not yet started.

  10.  @arcaine3907  It only become WW3 if the west really mismanages the whole situation. If the west floods Ukraine with weapons, puts a proper missile shield in the Eastern European NATO members country then they could avoid WW3. WW3 is only a Risk if Russia thinks it has the ability to expand.

  11.  @HC100_  Iran is not in Iraq so how is it their region?

  12. We in the modern world have never seen anything like this before.

  13. Northern Ireland is part of the UK so people need to get used to that centuries old idea.

  14. She is desperate and will want anything. What the west has to do arm the region with weapons that neutralizes the Russian military.

  15.  @danieltbyrne522  Sinn Fein did not win so they are not in control of the Dail. It is that simple.

  16. @daniel spillett That is a truly disgusting story.

  17.  Sal DiMarchese  Having an R0 value of 2.6 with a serious complication rate of about 10% is out of hand. I do not believe this has anything to do with decreasing population of man made at this point.

  18. The real name for the program is Army Special Operations Brigade. Right now they are calling the individual battalions Rangers. At some point British Navy is probably going to form their own Special Operations Command to compete with the Army which will include Commandos and probably special dive teams. What they should have called the special operations battalions is Army Commando battalions. I to would have saved them so much effort and confusion.

  19. They are probably hoping that it is limited action and that Russia at some point will back off.

  20. Liverpool similar to Utd do not sack their managers that quickly and tend to hang on that little bit too long sometimes which is a good thing because it means when they get the right manager they tend to go on for the long haul.

  21. The US in WW2 estimated that it would cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Marines, take hundreds of naval ships and constant aerial bombardment to take the Island from Japan. Guess how many poorly armed troops the Japanese had on the Island about 30,000 at most.

  23.  @interquad1  They get checked the normal way they are checked. It is not complicated by any account.

  24.  @afgor1088  Ireland has a choice to make it either is going to go with Britain on certain issues or decide to go against britain entirely. Ireland is free to drive on the right hand side of the road if it wants to or change to a European electricity supply systems or learn french if it wants to.

  25. Michael Watson There will not be a UKIP landslide but there could be double digit numbers that could be enough to give them a shot at government.

  26. za7v9ier  This is the same BBC that leaked videos of Clarkson nursery Rhyme. They had no interest in covering this up and may even have planned this who knows.

  27. The US had 16 million troops in WW2 and in WW3 will have about 40 million Troops. Currently US air force is twice as large as Russia and China combined. Current US navy is 10 times bigger than the navy of China. The US has more marines than China has naval personnel and has about roughly 20 million veterans.

  32. I doubt that empire has no clothing. That will not be an easy war for China. Taiwan has an air defence system that would turn the Chinese navy into scrap.

  33. New Zealand produces foods that are not easily available in Europe and they also have a certain cultural quality with them. The UK produces pharma, machines, electronics, software and general engineering that New Zealand does not. Both countries trade with one other so the new trade deal with bolster that and add new growth.

  34. Both British and New Zealand lamb can be on the shelves to provide competition. European food commodities need to be now worried. The French current export thousands of tons of food to the UK as does spain and italy.

  35.  @brendanhynes1252  Competition is great but here is the thing Welsh lamb can now be freely traded with 30 economic zones outside the EU.

  36.  @HhhGgg-iy1mk  New Zealand produces a lot of foods that the UK cannot produce in quantities. Everybody is talking about New Zealand lamb but there is more to it than that. ANd the other way around the UK produces Pharma, chemicals, machinery, electronics, software and engineering that NZ cannot produce. So for specialized goods both countries have to trade to get the really good stuff. Most Lamb consumed in the UK will be from places like Wales. Just to add it takes the same length of time to transport goods from China as it does NZ. UK and Europe needs to produce more goods locally.

  37.  Jo Humphreys  If Iran does not threaten to take out Israel with nuclear weapons then nobody would care. If Iran did not commit vast acts of terrorism not body would go near them on any level. If Iran thinks it can attack Israel through Hezbollah and they will not respond then they are actually very naive.

  38. The Red Uniform were the most elite fighting force of their day. They were capable of operating overseas in small numbers to defeat forces of a much larger size. Only the US was capable of defeating the British in warfare because the US used the British method but they adapted it to their own strengths.

  39. Psychopaths have a tendency to be cowardly. They will never take on somebody that is strong they will always try to pick on people when they have the upper hand.

  40. They are nothing like the SAS who are an elite specialized force.

  41. What about Germany having shortages. Greece is having issues right now. Most shelves in UK shops will be bear in 2022 as Chinese manufacturing right now is in crisis with their coal plants running out of coal.

  42. There are UFO's, tyrannical governments and impending financial crisis and people are not seeing it on the news.

  43. The US Air Force is twice as large as Russian and Chinese air force combined. And that does nt take into account the US naval air force or reserve force.

  44. They will do a similar job but are not exactly the same thing. UK already has forces that do a similar job and what they are doing now is putting that under one system called Army Special Operations Brigade.

  45. Drones are extremely hard to see especially in a combat zone. A drone that is at 500 feet will be very hard to spot in the sky especially if it is static. It is one of the reasons why they have been so deadly in Ukraine.

  46. @Blob B SAS were formed out of Special Service Brigade which were the commandos. The Royal Marines and Para were the assault brigades of the Commandos. The special boat teams were formed out of Commandos as well.

  47. They have a different role from those groups.

  48. Canada was not formed as a country until 1867. Britain would not leave the US alone hence why the 1812 war happened. Britain chased US forces down into the US and burned the original white house down. The US then chase the British back again. The US then threatened to blockade British trade with Canada and this then brought Britain to its senses. The US did not invade Canada in 1930 and the US actually served in WW1 with both the British and Canadians. So why in the hell would the US invade Canada in the 1930s when the US would not even get involved in WW2 for several years? I am a doubter of your conspiracy theories.

  49. Native Americans have their reserves which are their own free countries that they run all by them self. Native American reserves are the size of European countries.

  50. Labour need to be careful because conservatives have not yet labeled the party as National Socialists.
