Please send the following to your Korean embassy - "I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the appalling behaviour of Ramsey Khalid Ismael, also known as Johnny Somali, during his recent visit to the Changdong History and Culture Park in Seoul. It has been widely reported that he displayed shocking disrespect by kissing and twerking near a statue that honours the victims of wartime sexual slavery. This disgraceful act is not only deeply offensive to the Korean people but also dishonours the memory of those who suffered unimaginable hardships.
It is particularly troubling that Mr. Ismael has demonstrated a pattern of overt disrespect toward Asian cultures. His prior conduct in Japan, where he disrupted public order and mocked local authorities by lying to them, is evidence of his disregard for the people and traditions of the countries he visits. This behaviour reflects a broader contempt for Asian communities, which he appears to exploit for personal attention and notoriety.
I urge the Korean authorities to take swift and decisive action to address this matter. Such behaviour cannot be tolerated, and it is essential to send a strong message that cultural landmarks, as well as the dignity and history of the people they honour, must be respected. I respectfully recommend that Mr. Ismael is prosecuted to the fullest extent of Korean law and, if appropriate, incarcerated for his offensive and disruptive actions.
This incident has understandably caused widespread outrage, and I believe that addressing it firmly will reflect Korea’s commitment to upholding justice, preserving the dignity of its cultural heritage, and standing against those who perpetuate disrespect towards Asian communities.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the authorities will act appropriately to ensure that such actions are not repeated".

@dariusrana8487 The British Empire played a pivotal role in shaping the modern world by spreading technological, cultural, and social advancements globally. Its contributions to science and industry, including innovations like the steam engine, railways, television, and telegraph systems, revolutionized economies and infrastructure worldwide. Nations such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and India owe much of their foundational governance, legal frameworks, and educational systems to British influence. The global spread of the English language facilitated international communication, trade, and cultural exchange, creating connections that endure to this day. Britain's legacy of innovation, from the Industrial Revolution to groundbreaking scientific discoveries like gravity, penicillin, and the World Wide Web, continues to benefit humanity and drive progress. Its far-reaching impact laid the very foundations for many of the technological and social advancements that define modern civilization.

@alpddar2518 used to be wonderful peaceful country when I visited all those years ago. I believe Iran used to be too, but I never went there. Lebanon historically had a large Christian majority, particularly in the early to mid-20th century. When the country gained independence from France in 1943, Christians, primarily Maronite Catholics, were by far the largest religious group, and the political system was structured to reflect this demographic balance.
However, over the years, due to various factors such as emigration, differing birth rates between communities, and the impact of the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990), the demographic landscape shifted. Today, Lebanon has a more evenly split population between Christians and Muslims (Sunni and Shia), though exact numbers are difficult to determine because Lebanon has not conducted an official census since 1932.
Christianity remains a significant part of Lebanon's identity, but the majority status has changed over time.

@TheFragilityOfIdeas People have been complaining about falling standards for hundreds of years. I’m confident I could find all sorts of historical references, from Richard II and others, lamenting the influence of “foreigners” and claiming that bread was being stolen from the mouths of Englishmen. This isn’t a new argument, it’s just what people, especially the older generation, tend to do: they moan. And foreigners often become easy targets.
But the reality is that things change. countries, cultures, demographics, religions, they always have, and they always will. (England was predominantly Catholic before Henry VIII's reign.The Roman Catholic Church was deeply integrated into English religious, political, and cultural life for over a thousand years). Imagine the grumblings when that all changed.
It’s no longer the 1950s. It’s time to accept that and move forward like the rest of us.

@Rimrock300 you seen how many poor people you got? been down the bus terminal after midnight? 12.4% of Americans live in poverty. If you had the metric system you'd know 42% of American adults have obesity, while about 30.7% are overweight. Overall, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults in the United States are overweight or have obesity, that's 2/3rds or 66.6% in Metric. In terms of infant mortality per 100,000 live births, the United States ranks 34th out of 44 countries. America’s crime rate is 56th out of 137 countries. And it ranks 71st out of 134 in terms of the safest countries. In reading, the United States ranks 24th out of 71 countries.
In terms of happiness, America’s rank is 24th out of 95. In median household income, America ranks fourth out of 36 countries. The murder rate per 100,000 people puts America at 89th out of 230 countries. America is the second worst of 20 countries when it comes to share of CO2 emissions. America’s health care costs are the highest out of 48 countries. (there you go that's at 1st place!) Life expectancy in the United States ranks 46th out of 193.
In student math performance, America comes in at number 39 out of 71 countries.

@Elcicikos I suspect you're a troll - temperature doesn't come in to it. Ice is Ice, snow is snow, colder snow or colder ice isn't more dangerous - the key is between 70 to 90% of Sweden is covered in snow and ice in winter, whereas the only 40-50% of the USA is. So when you work out the number of fatal accidents per 100,000 in Sweden vs the number of fatal accidents per 100,000 in the USA there is not a good reason why USA roads are so much more dangerous. America is just a bit behind, as an example the maternal mortality rate in the United States was approximately 22.3 deaths per 100,000 live births, whereas in Sweden that drops to a Maternal Mortality Rate of approximately 4 deaths per 100,000 live births. Sweden is approximately 83% safer than the United States in terms of maternal mortality per 100,000 live births. Sweden is approximately 85.5% safer than the United States in terms of road traffic deaths per 100,000 population. European countries are just more advanced, it really is that simple.

@evantattersall6063 and did you check the population numbers and land mass of the countries you mention? If you knew anything, you'd know, that the United Kingdom is currently ranked as the 6th most powerful military in the world according to the respected 2024 Global Firepower Index. This position reflects the country's robust capabilities in areas such as manpower, air power, logistical efficiency, and financial resources. The ranking takes into account various factors including troop numbers, equipment, financial standing, and strategic resources.
The top five countries ahead of the UK in this ranking are the United States, Russia, China, India, and South Korea. Although South Korea, doesn't have nuclear capabilities or aircraft carriers.

@nicholasforman1195 The UK, as a whole, is ranked among the Top 5 military powers globally, alongside the U.S., China, Russia, and India. Its relatively smaller size compared to these nations is offset by its advanced technology, professional training, and ability to project power globally. (nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers) The RAF and Royal Navy are key contributors to NATO operations, giving the UK considerable influence within the alliance, further enhancing its strategic importance on the world stage.

@EdwardThatch-ee7yx When considering the size-to-power ratio, the United Kingdom stands out. Despite its relatively small population and geographic size, the UK has one of the most capable and technologically advanced militaries globally. Its nuclear deterrent, blue-water navy, state-of-the-art air force, and professional army enable it to punch above its weight in global security and influence. The UK's global reach, operational effectiveness, and power projection outmatch larger European nations, such as Ukraine and Turkey.
In terms of military size, the UK is often outpaced by countries like France and Turkey, which have larger standing forces. However, the UK's superior military technology, especially its nuclear arsenal and advanced naval and air power, give it a distinct edge in terms of global influence and strategic reach. While France ranks ahead of the UK in overall military size in Europe, it is the UK’s technological capabilities and military assets that push it ahead in global rankings. According to Global Firepower’s 2024 rankings, the UK is 4th in Europe behind France, Turkey, and Ukraine, but ranks 5th worldwide after the U.S., Russia, China, and India. This high position reflects the UK's ability to maintain significant global military influence, despite its smaller size compared to other leading powers. Turkey: 425,000 active-duty personnel, France: 270,000 active-duty personnel, Poland: 200,000 active-duty personnel, Germany: 183,500 active-duty personnel, Italy: 165,500 active-duty personnel, United Kingdom: 148,220 active-duty personnel, and considering we have the 2nd smallest population out of all those countries, only Italy has less, we're doing rather well. So please don't be such a negative nelly. Grow some and man tf up!

@JordanGreenYT travelled all over the US for work, and felt disappointed every time. The worse part, my US customers always proudly wanted to take me to their favourite restaurant, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, steak house, burger, pizza etc., and every time without fail I'd had better in Europe.

@TheFragilityOfIdeas There has always been discontent about change, and that is precisely my point. Here's the thing: the world has always been interconnected, and the idea of a static or "pure" demographic England is a myth. I accept that the world is constantly and always has been evolving. Take my own DNA as an example. A recent test revealed that I am 21% English, 21% French, 24% Scottish, 10% Irish, 11% Swedish, 11% Danish, and 2% Norwegian. This mix tells a story of a country and a world shaped by people moving, mingling, and influencing one another's cultures.
Change has always been a part of who we are as a country. The world is becoming smaller, moving more quickly and holding on to hatred and resentment will only weigh you down, and life is far too short for that. Embrace what you have, let go of the stress, and focus on enjoying the years ahead.

@roddi733 Not sure 19080s IRA would agree with your theory that we enjoy a virtually identical culture, heritage and language. In fact I think they would have been extremely angry. The period when approximately 2,000,000 Irish people emigrated to the UK spans from the Great Famine (1845–1852 - where 1,000,0000 came cover in just 7 YEARS!), through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Significant waves of migration continued well into the post-World War II era, particularly during the 1950s. So we're talking a period of about 100 years. The majority of Irish emigrants to the UK, particularly during the periods of significant migration, came from Southern Ireland (now the Republic of Ireland). Who were CATHOLICS! The boarding house signs of "No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish" is infamous for its association with discriminatory practices in the UK, particularly in the mid-20th century. It reflects a time of deep-seated prejudice, hatred and exclusion.

@EyFmS To be honest? The Panama Canal Zone (1903-1979), Annexation of Hawaii (1898) The Spanish-American War and the Annexation of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines (1898), The Mexican-American War and the Annexation of the Southwest (1846-1848). Hawaii's statehood in 1959 being the last major addition to U.S. territory. The U.S. Virgin Islands (1917), Pacific Island Trust Territories (1947), Northern Mariana Islands (1975), Compacts of Free Association (1980s-1994), Countries involved: The Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau.

@iamdavid003 they have, although they are poorly trained, lack moral, can't manage logistics, and their weapons are outdated, of poor quality and are badly maintained.
If they attack NATO they will fight on many land borders, these include Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, and Ukraine.
There are also sea borders with Japan, Sweden, Turkey, and the United States.
And then we have the NATO reserve forces of the countries who don't share land or sea borders with RuSSia -
These include Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech republic, Denmark, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
I think you should think twice before making ridiculous and uneducated comments.

@michaelwicks7680 So easy to put the UK down. The top five largest European militaries by size and capability are Ukraine, France, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Germany, based on active personnel, reserves, and military assets. When considering size-to-power ratio, the United Kingdom ranks exceptionally high. Although it is a relatively small country in terms of population and geographic size, it maintains one of the most capable and technologically advanced militaries globally. The UK’s nuclear deterrent, blue-water navy, advanced air force, and professional army allow it to "punch above its weight" in international security and influence. It outperforms larger European countries, including Ukraine and Turkey, in terms of global reach, operational effectiveness, and power projection.

@nicke3019 so body language isn't a thing? Touching the neck while closing the eyes suggests discomfort, uncertainty, or hidden emotions. The neck touch is a self-soothing gesture, often indicating anxiety, vulnerability, and even defensiveness—possibly suggesting they are withholding information or hesitant to fully express their thoughts. Closing the eyes can signal an attempt to process emotions, momentarily escape discomfort, or avoid eye contact. In this context, the person may genuinely not know why the fallout happened but feels uneasy about it, or they might know but struggle to articulate or reveal the truth. Either way, their body language suggests unresolved emotions, inner conflict, perhaps guilt, and a reluctance to fully engage with the topic.

@RandallSlick you see how councils waste their money? speed humps, bicycle lanes, when they'd be better off filling pot holes. The Burnley Business awards (organised and paid for by the council) included a champagne reception, live musical performers and bespoke trophies. In addition, ten entertainers (dressed in highly elaborate costumes as trees, shrubbery and wildlife) were hired for photographs with guests. This award ceremony cost over £25,000 of taxpayers’ money. Local governments have many sources of income, government grants, speeding tickets, parking fines, council tax and business rates. Even the jockos were wasting money on mobile homes, and five star travel.

0:30 yes I do believe it, or not, that Europe is more thorough than the USA, you only have to look at deaths per 100,000 workers from accidents statistics to see that Europe is way ahead in safety. USA, fatal work injuries, equating to a rate of 3.7 fatalities per 100,000. UK fatal injury rate of just 0.42 deaths per 100,000 workers. Also road traffic deaths in the USA per 100,000 is 13.4, whereas the UK is 3.2 deaths per 100,000. UK recorded approximately 0.04 firearm deaths per 100,000 people. Whereas the United States, which had a firearm death rate of about 4.12 per 100,000 in the same period. the maternal mortality rate in the United States was approximately 22.3 deaths per 100,000 live births, and in the UK the rate is the rate is 8.79 deaths per 100,000 maternities. In the UK infant deaths from homicide is typically between 1 and 2 deaths per 100,000 live births annually. In the US that rate is 7.11 murders per 100,000 children born.

@tntfreddan3138 The conversation is, Sweden has more snow and ice as a total percentage when compared to the USA. "As a percentage of land area covered by snow and ice, Sweden has a higher proportion compared to the USA.
Sweden's geography is dominated by a cold climate, especially in its northern regions, with extensive snow cover during winter. Its mountainous areas and the Arctic Circle region also contribute to a significant portion of the land being covered in snow and ice for much of the year.
In contrast, while the USA has regions like Alaska and the mountainous areas of the Rockies and Sierra Nevada with substantial snow and ice, a large portion of the country (such as the southern states, deserts, and lowland areas) does not experience snow or ice at all.
Thus, as a percentage of total land area, Sweden does indeed have more snow and ice than the USA". ~ from Google.

Thing is this clown has done exactly that, he's taken the following oath of true allegiance as a British soldier. "I swear by almighty God that I will be faithful, and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, her heirs and successors, and that I will as in duty bound, honestly and faithfully defend Her Majesty, her heirs and successors in person, crown and dignity, against all enemies, and will observe and obey all orders of Her Majesty, her heirs and successors and the generals and officers set over me."

@nathanj109 Nathan, I suspect you're not old enough to remember. The Tories, whilst wet are not as wet as Labour. The Labour Party, led by Jeremy Corbyn, suffered its worst performance in terms of seats since 1935 (that's before WWII). This country needs a strong hand to sort things out. Unfortunately, none of these parties are strong enough. You can now walk into any supermarket, and as long as what you steal is under £200, you can simply walk out, confident that there will be no repercussions. That, my friend, is a disgrace, and that, along with all the other problems we face, is why this country is heading to hell in a handbasket.

Sergey Lavrov, loves the West. In particular, he loves London, in the UK. This is where his second family live, his mistress and step daughter, they live in a beautiful £4.4 million Kensington mansion, bought with money laundered from the RuSSian people. RuSSia should be one of the richest countries in the world except PooTIN and his oligarch friends steal all the gas and oil money, so they can spend it on hookers, mistresses, cocaine, super yachts and mansions all over the world. The RuSSia people are very lucky to have leaders like Lavrov and PooTIN.

I have no idea why Americans would want to buy European, I mean it's all gimmicks. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) as a standard safety feature. It works alongside other braking technologies, such as Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). Advanced Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Warning System (LDW), Collision Avoidance System, Side Detection System, Roll-over Prevention, Traction Control System (TCS), Disc Brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Driver Alert Support, Proximity Sensors, Blind Spot Detection, Automatic Emergency Braking, Integrated Retarder System, Hill Hold Assist, Airbag System, Reinforced Cab Structure for Crash Protection, Fire Detection and Suppression System, Night Vision Assistance, fuel efficiency, advanced aerodynamics, superior cabin comfort, better driver ergonomics, advanced safety features, lower emissions, higher torque-to-weight ratio, more efficient European diesel engines, better maneuverability in tight spaces, modular design for easier maintenance, advanced telematics and fleet management systems, longer service intervals, reduced total cost of ownership, optimized payload capacity, stronger focus on sustainability, smoother ride quality due to air suspension, lower noise levels in the cabin, advanced adaptive cruise control, better visibility with larger windshields, and enhanced braking systems with retarder technology. Oh and I nearly forgot auto-hitching were you don't even need to get out to hitch up. Although for that you'd need European trailers. Who wants this crap?

@Okay-time Nobody reads the classics these days, and society is worse for it - just as anyone can get a degree theses days, making them worthless, due to dumbing down the proportion of students getting a first or 2:1 has increased from 40 to 75 per cent since 1995 (which is when records started). Back in the 70s you had to be fantastically brilliant to even get in to a university, and a first was almost unheard of, now days you can even get a degree in Religious Studies, Floral Design, Stand up Comedy or Communications. I did a quick straw poll of 15 of my friends, who are in the their 50s and everyone I texted had read 1984, I dare say none of your current batch of doctors, nurses, scientists, professors have read Shakespeare or Dickens either, but no doubt have all played Angry Birds and Candy Crush on their phones. More than half the population of the UK had not read any literature at any point in their lives. There's a lot of research that shows people born in the West after 1975, have seen a steady decline in IQ. Amounting to a seven point difference between generations – with average IQs having dropped by around 0.2 points year on year. None of these things are surprising when books are more reliable sources of information than the stuff people stumble across on the internet, and the fact that when reading a book you absorb far more information then when staring at the same text a screen.

Jon Jones is widely regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time, but his potential fight against Tom Aspinall presents significant challenges that make a victory unlikely.
Jon Jones dominated the light heavyweight division for years, but at heavyweight, he faces physically larger and more powerful opponents. Tom Aspinall is a natural heavyweight, standing at 6'5" and weighing around 250 lbs with elite athleticism. Unlike past heavyweights Jones has faced, Aspinall moves with the speed of a middleweight while maintaining knockout power. Although Jones bulked up for heavyweight, he still lacks the same explosiveness and natural power as Aspinall.
Aspinall is one of the most well-rounded strikers in the UFC heavyweight division. His boxing is crisp, technical, and fluid—far superior to Jones' striking at heavyweight. Jones has never been known for knockout power; his striking success at light heavyweight relied on reach, eye pokes, PEDs, oblique kicks, and volume. Aspinall, however, has the ability to pressure, slip punches, and deliver devastating counterstrikes. At 36 years old, Jones' speed and reaction time have diminished, whereas Aspinall is in his prime, making him the faster and more explosive fighter.
Jones' biggest advantage has always been his wrestling, but heavyweight wrestling is a different game. Aspinall has solid grappling skills and a legitimate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. He has quickly submitted skilled opponents and has shown fluid transitions on the ground. Unlike Ciryl Gane, who had poor takedown defence, Aspinall has both the skills and size to neutralise Jones’ wrestling attempts.
Heavyweight fights often come down to durability and knockout power, and Aspinall has a clear advantage in both. Jones has never been knocked out, but he has also never faced a heavyweight with Aspinall's supreme speed and precision in striking. If the fight turns into a striking battle, Aspinall’s power gives him a significant edge, as Jones does not possess one-punch knockout ability.
Jones suffered a significant pectoral injury in 2023, delaying his return to the octagon. A major injury at his age could hinder his performance, especially against an opponent like Aspinall, who is younger, faster, and fully healthy. Jones’ only fight at heavyweight was against Ciryl Gane, a striker with poor wrestling. He has yet to be tested against a well-rounded and aggressive heavyweight like Aspinall.
While Jon Juice "Quack Quack" Jones was a legendary fighter with an elite fight IQ, his disadvantages in size, speed, power, and striking make a win against Tom Aspinall unlikely. Aspinall’s combination of elite boxing, speed, grappling skills, and heavyweight natural attributes create a stylistic nightmare for Jones. If the fight happens, which I doubt, Aspinall’s chances of winning, either by knockout or submission, are significantly higher than Jones’ chances of controlling, eye poking, and outpointing him.

No Choice? everyone has a choice.... In nineteen countries, the police do not carry firearms unless the situation is expected to merit it: Bhutan, Botswana, Cook Islands, Fiji, Iceland, Ireland, Kiribati, Malawi, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Norway, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, the United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland), South Korea, Vanuatu and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These countries exhibit gun-homicide rates markedly LOWER on average than countries with armed police forces. Their police forces commonly adopt a philosophy of policing by consent.

@blacksnow129 Iran invade it's own people every day. The Iranian government maintains strict control over its citizens, with limitations on freedom of speech, press, and assembly. Dissent is often met with harsh punishments, including imprisonment and, in some cases, execution. While some citizens experience relative freedom in daily life, many face repression, especially women, activists, and minorities, who are subject to discriminatory laws and human rights abuses. there have been widespread protests in Iran, particularly in recent years. These protests have been sparked by various issues, including economic hardships, government corruption, and social restrictions, especially on women's rights. The death of Mahsa Amini in 2022 after her arrest by the morality police led to one of the largest waves of protests, with many Iranians—particularly women and the youth—demonstrating against the compulsory hijab and broader government repression.
The Iranian government often responds with force, including arrests, internet blackouts, and, in some cases, deadly crackdowns on protesters. Despite the risks, public dissent continues, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction with the regime's policies and the call for greater freedoms.

18:35 The European tachograph system is seen as better for truckers compared to the U.S. Hours of Service (HOS) system due to its precision, fairness, and emphasis on safety. Tachographs automatically record driving time, breaks, and rest periods, reducing human error and manipulation risks. In contrast, the U.S. relies on ELDs and manual inputs, which are less foolproof. European regulations strictly limit daily driving to 9 hours (10 hours twice a week) with mandatory 45-minute breaks after 4.5 hours, ensuring better rest and reducing fatigue. U.S. rules allow up to 11 hours of driving per day, greatly increasing fatigue risks. Tachographs empower drivers to adhere to regulations without any employer pressure, enhancing road safety, simplify compliance checks, and minimize administrative burdens. This balanced approach prioritizes driver well-being and safety over productivity.

@Rocket_scientist_88 Panama Canal Zone: The Canal Zone was indeed acquired through the 1903 Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty with Panama, following Panama’s independence from Colombia. However, it’s worth noting that Colombia had initially rejected the terms the U.S. offered, leading to U.S. support for Panama’s independence movement. While the zone was purchased legally, the circumstances around Panama’s independence and the resulting treaty with the U.S. involved a degree of U.S. pressure, influence and intervention that shaped the negotiations in its favor.
Hawaiian Annexation: Hawaii was annexed in 1898, following a U.S.-backed coup that overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893. While the U.S. argued that the islands would otherwise fall under foreign control, this rationale does not change the fact that the annexation was a very controversial act, especially since Native Hawaiians largely opposed it. President Clinton’s apology in 1993 recognized the overthrow as a violation of the sovereign rights of Native Hawaiians, which highlights the complexity of this acquisition.
Spanish-American War and Independence of Cuba and the Philippines: The Spanish-American War indeed led to Cuban independence, but with strings attached. The U.S. imposed the Platt Amendment on Cuba, allowing significant U.S. influence over Cuban affairs for decades. The Philippines, meanwhile, became a U.S. territory after a substantial anti-colonial war between the U.S. and Filipino revolutionaries. Though the Philippines was granted independence after WWII, this came after a long period of colonial rule and resistance from Filipinos.
Danish Virgin Islands: The purchase of the Danish Virgin Islands was indeed legal, achieved through a 1916 treaty with Denmark. This transaction is generally considered straightforward, with minimal controversy compared to other acquisitions.
Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau): These islands were indeed former German territories placed under Japanese control, and later under U.S. administration after WWII. The United Nations mandated U.S. trusteeship, and over time, these islands became independent. However, it’s worth noting that the U.S. maintained significant influence and military presence in the region, which is argued extended U.S. interests beyond pure trusteeship.
The assertion that the U.S. has not annexed territory illegally in over a century aligns with the historical record, as modern U.S. foreign policy has generally shied away from outright annexation. The comparison with Russia’s actions in Ukraine highlights a distinction in approach: while Russia’s actions have violated Ukraine’s sovereignty, the U.S. approach in recent decades has relied more on strategic alliances and influence rather than direct territorial expansion.
While the U.S. acquisitions were often achieved through treaties and agreements, the circumstances and methods used reflect both legal maneuvers and sometimes very heavy-handed influences, especially in cases where the U.S. had a vested strategic interest.

@beardymcbeardface69 You're absolutely correct that the presence of ideals doesn't vanish simply because they are undermined by corruption or other forces. Ideals serve as guiding principles and aspirations that shape the foundations of systems, even if their implementation is imperfect and often impossible in the USA. In the context of the private military-industrial complex, the very act of companies showcasing products at trade shows reflects the underlying ideals of innovation, competition, and the pursuit of strategic advantage.
However, the gap between ideals and reality arises because systems involving power, money and profit often face distortion. USA political and corporate corruption can shift priorities from serving collective goals to favoring self-interest. While ideals like transparency, accountability, and ethical governance might be central to a system, their erosion doesn't negate their presence—it highlights the ongoing struggle to uphold them amidst competing pressures. This dynamic showcases that ideals persist as benchmarks, even in environments where achieving them fully it virtually impossible.

@Tamarlane389 Hamas is 15,000 strong, 2,000,000 Palestinians live in Gaza - why don't they fix their own problem? Hamas is recognized by a number of countries, as both political and military wing of the Palestinian people, Hamas also raises funds by taxation within Gaza, if 50% of the people who you claim weren't born when they came to power, (and I don't believe 1,000,000 people were born since 2006, when Hamas won an election over Fatah ) didn't pay this tax, then the would be underfunded. If they weren't wanted, then the Palestinians have options. But unlike the Jewish lady in this video no Palestinians are speaking out against Hamas, which leads us to only one conclusion. The Palestinian people support Hamas.

So not only is this clown a traitor, he's also a massive hypocrite, when he was in the British Army he would have made an oath to Charles's mother Queen Elizabeth II, "I swear by almighty God that I will be faithful, and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, her heirs and successors, and that I will as in duty bound, honestly and faithfully defend Her Majesty, her heirs and successors in person, crown and dignity, against all enemies, and will observe and obey all orders of Her Majesty, her heirs and successors and the generals and officers set over me." So he has already sworn an oath of "true allegiance" to King Charles III as the Queens heir and successor. I hope someone will round him up and send him off to the Tower of London.

In nineteen countries, the police do not carry firearms unless the situation is expected to merit it: Bhutan, Botswana, Cook Islands, Fiji, Iceland, Ireland, Kiribati, Malawi, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Norway, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, the United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland), South Korea, Vanuatu and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These countries exhibit gun-homicide rates markedly LOWER on average than countries with armed police forces. Their police forces commonly adopt a philosophy of policing by consent.

@alexfloyd4903 Antarctica is unique in international law: no single country "owns" any parts of it, but several countries have claimed portions of the continent. These claims, however, are regulated and largely suspended under the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), a landmark international agreement signed in 1959, with 12 original signatories that included countries with and without territorial claims on Antarctica. Today, 54 nations have acceded to the treaty, with 29 recognized as "consultative parties" due to their substantial research involvement. Despite the treaty's suspension of sovereignty assertions, several countries continue to maintain claims over specific areas:
Argentina and Chile both claim overlapping areas with the UK, leading to diplomatic contention, although they all abide by the Antarctic Treaty regulations.
Australia holds the largest claim, covering roughly 42% of Antarctica.
Norway has two claims, including Queen Maud Land and Peter I Island.
France claims a section known as Adélie Land.
Countries like the United States and Russia have not made any formal claims, though they reserve the right to do so in the future. They also maintain a significant presence in Antarctica through research stations, alongside other nations such as China, India, and South Korea, which have no territorial claims but are active in scientific research on the continent. No single country owns or exerts total control over Antarctica. Instead, the Antarctic Treaty has created a unique legal and cooperative framework that manages the continent as a shared international space dedicated to peace and science. This approach underscores the global importance of environmental preservation and peaceful cooperation, especially in fragile ecosystems like Antarctica.

@Вася-ш3щ Crisis? where? hahaha RuSSia should be one of the richest countries in the world except PooTIN and his oligarch friends steal all the gas and oil money, so they can spend it on hookers, mistresses, cocaine, super yachts and mansions all over the world. The RuSSia people are very lucky to have leaders like Lavrov and PooTIN. Sergey Lavrov, loves the West. In particular, he loves London, in the UK. This is where his second family live, his mistress and step daughter, they live in a beautiful £4.4 million Kensington mansion, bought with money laundered from the RuSSian people.

They can buy them back at market value, £5m was paid, so it's very easy to work out what they £5m is worth now. Using a rough estimate, let's assume a conservative average inflation rate of 2% per year. Since 2024 is 223 years after 1801, we would compound the inflation over that period.
We can use the formula for compound interest:
A=P×(1+r)nA=P×(1+r)n
Where:
AA is the final amount after adjusting for inflation
PP is the initial amount (5 million pounds in this case)
rr is the annual interest rate (as a decimal)
nn is the number of years
Let's calculate:
A=5,000,000×(1+0.02)223A=5,000,000×(1+0.02)223
A≈5,000,000×(1.02)223A≈5,000,000×(1.02)223
A≈5,000,000×24.016A≈5,000,000×24.016
A≈120,080,000A≈120,080,000
So, approximately £5 million English pounds from the year 1801 would be worth around £120,080,000 pounds today.

@rajamahan1191 If he attacks NATO he will fight on many land borders, these include Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, and Ukraine.
There are also sea borders with Japan, Sweden, Turkey, and the United States.
And then we have the NATO reserve forces of the countries who don't share land or sea borders with RuSSia -
These include Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech republic, Denmark, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

The Environmental Impact of Fat People: A Closer Look
Morbidly Obesity is often discussed in terms of its health implications, but its environmental impact is another crucial aspect that deserves attention. As global rates of obesity continue to rise, it's important to understand how this trend affects the planet.
One of the fundamental issues with obesity is the overconsumption of food. When people consume more calories than their bodies require, it often results in weight gain. The production of food, especially in large quantities, has a significant environmental footprint. For example:
The agricultural sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, with livestock production being particularly resource-intensive. Overeating, especially in diets heavy in meat and processed foods, amplifies these emissions.
Overconsumption also contributes to food waste, as excess food often goes uneaten or leads to overeating. This waste not only squanders the resources used to produce the food but also generates additional emissions when it decomposes in landfills.
The transportation of heavier individuals has a direct impact on fuel consumption and, consequently, on the environment:
Vehicles carrying heavier passengers require more energy to operate. This leads to increased fuel consumption, whether in personal cars, buses, or airplanes, thereby contributing to higher carbon emissions.
The efficiency of public and private transport systems can be reduced when dealing with increased average passenger weight, leading to a higher environmental cost per journey.
The effects of obesity extend beyond food and transportation to the consumption of other resources:
Larger body sizes require more fabric for clothing, which means more resources are used in production. The fashion industry is already known for its significant environmental impact, and increased demand for larger clothing sizes exacerbates this.
More body surface area means more personal care products, such as soap, shampoo, and deodorant, are needed. While the impact here may be smaller compared to other factors, it still contributes to the overall environmental footprint.
Obesity is associated with a range of health issues, including diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. These conditions require extensive medical care, which has its own environmental impact:
The production and disposal of medical supplies, energy use in hospitals, and the carbon footprint of pharmaceuticals all contribute to environmental degradation. The higher the demand for medical care due to obesity-related conditions, the greater the strain on these resources.
The production of medications and treatments for chronic conditions linked to obesity has a notable environmental footprint, from manufacturing to distribution and eventual disposal.
fObesity and its related impacts are complex, touching on issues of health, social equity, and environmental sustainability. While it's important not to stigmatize individuals, understanding the broader implications of rising obesity rates can help guide efforts towards healthier, more sustainable living.
Promoting balanced diets, encouraging physical activity, and fostering environments that support healthier lifestyle choices can not only improve individual health outcomes but also reduce the environmental strain associated with obesity. Sustainable living involves making choices that are good for both people and the planet, and addressing the obesity epidemic is a critical part of that equation.

@darren6076 Darren we have the 6th most powerful Army on the planet. The Global Firepower Index 2024 place the United Kingdom at 6h, in the top tier,, trailing the United States, Russia, China, India, and South Korea. A bit of patriotism goes a long was winkle. The British Army is widely regarded as one of the most capable and professional military forces globally. While not as large in size as some of the world’s superpowers, its strength lies in advanced technology, elite training, operational experience, and strategic alliances.

@nematolvajkergetok5104 The United Kingdom's military is ranked 6th globally as of 2024, according to the Global Firepower Index, behind, USA, Russia, China, India and South Korea. What can I tell you, they have Aircraft carriers, and Nuclear subs. It is particularly noted for its strong air-power, sea-power, experience, training, logistical infrastructure, and financial resources. As of 2024, the UK's military spending is approximately $68.46 billion, making it a significant player on the global stage. The UK operates four Vanguard-class submarines, which carry Trident II D5 ballistic missiles. At least one of these submarines is always on active patrol to ensure an uninterrupted nuclear deterrent. It also has a fleet of nuclear-powered, non-ballistic Astute-class attack submarines. The exact number of submarines in the sea at any given time is classified for security reasons. Although in times of particular tension, more will be at sea. However, the UK prioritizes maintaining a constant, undetectable nuclear deterrent presence while utilizing additional submarines for other strategic and defensive roles.

@Jim-qz6vp As a frequent traveller across the USA for work, I often find myself dining at my clients' favourite restaurants. Whether it's Italian, Mexican, Chinese, pizza, or BBQ, I'm always eager to experience their top picks. However, I always find myself disappointed, as I've tasted far better in the UK and Europe.
Additionally, something else stands out to me in the USA: the prevalence of obesity and poor health. It’s evident that this widespread and epidemic issue across the whole of the USA and isn’t caused by a diet of high-quality good food. From your comments Jim I'm pretty sure you've never left the USA, because if you had you'd know how dire and unhealthy your food is when compared to other countries.

@trs4u Missile is travelling at 2,302 mph (three times the speed of sound), the laser (speed of light, less 0.3% as it's going through air) is at 670,500,000 mph mph. While wide-field optics are excellent for large-scale observation, they are unsuitable for stopping a laser-guided missile because they lack the precision, speed, and active countermeasures needed to detect, track, and intercept such a incredibly fast threat. Also computer processing speeds are nowhere near fast enough - Starstreak is an almost perfect weapons system.

@adamstevens6299 If he thought there was nothing wrong with what he was doing why did he lie about it to his wife, family, friends, ITV bosses, agent, Holly, colleagues, the British public, and his lawyer? he's obviously has a lot to hide, which is why he's paying for the young lads legal fees, so he can try and keep the truth for getting out. Oh, and lets not forget his brother is convicted paedophile, no doubt Phil paid those legal fees as well.

@KiKi-tf8rv Graffiti? try reading newspapers, you might learn something, graffiti is for 12 year olds. No doubt you're a conspiracy theorist who believes the earth is flat, and the government are spraying us with chem trails. Look up the statistics, and no not on walls, and you'll find the police in America kill more of their citizens than any other western country. When examining police-related fatalities among Western countries, the United States stands out with a notably higher rate compared to its peers. According to data from the World Population Review, the U.S. experiences approximately 28.54 police killings per 10 million residents. This figure is nearly double that of Luxembourg, which has about 16.9 police killings per 10 million residents, and almost triple that of Canada, with 9.7 per 10 million residents. In contrast, other Western nations report significantly lower rates. For instance, England and Wales have a rate of approximately 0.5 police killings per 10 million residents, while Germany's rate stands at about 1.3 per 10 million residents. These disparities highlight the unique situation in the United States regarding police use of lethal force.

@blardymunggas6884 you know Africa isn't a country? hahahaha it's funny, you clowns always criticise the West but love twitter / google / you tube / iphone / nike / visa etc., sanctions doesn't mean they support or don't support - just means some countries have less morals than others and are happy to trade with the devil. What I do know is 141 countries (75% of all the countries in the world) voted in favour of a UN General Assembly resolution "deploring" Russia's aggression against Ukraine and demanding the immediate and complete withdrawal of all Russian forces from Ukrainian territory.
Just 4 countries (2.2% of all the countries in the world) joined Russia in voting against the resolution — Belarus, North Korea, Eritrea and Syria —
35 abstained, including China.
RuSSia should be one of the richest countries in the world, except PooTin and the oligarchs steal all the gas and oil money. They spend the RuSSian peoples money on hookers, mistresses, cocaine, yachts and mansions.
Lavrov for example has a beautiful mansion in London, it cost £4.4 million = it's where he keeps his second family, his mistress and his step daughter.

@blardymunggas6884 If you love Belarus, North Korea, Eritrea and Syria - then good for you! Although I am sure you will agree they are all extremely poor and weak - I prefer ....... Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece Hungary, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Iceland, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Netherlands, Italy , Japan, South Korea, Australia, Latvia, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, United Kingdom, Portugal, Romania, United States, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, with new members Finland and Sweden joining soon!

@blardymunggas6884 collapse? hahaha - where you getting this information from, Lavrov? hahaha inflation? really? Do you honestly think this worries anyone in the West except the poor? I guarantee I earn more in a week than you earn in a year as RuSSians internet trolls get paid very little. Whereas Lavrov laughs at his own citizens, whilst he and his fellow oligarchs live a life of full luxury from the oil and gas money they steal from the RuSSian people. The West always makes money in war time - it's why we spend so much to put RuSSian troops through the meat grinder! I trade stock markets and war time makes the markets very volatile, which allows traders to make lots of $$$$s! I'll give you a free lesson. Oligarchies are tyrannical, relying on public obedience and oppression to exist. This allows for Kleptocracy, where the corrupt leaders use political power to steal the wealth (oil. minerals and gas money) of the people by embezzling and misappropriating government funds at the expense of the population of RuSSia. I mean think about all the Mansions, super yachts, gold, football clubs, private jets, diamonds, women and money that these men have. Wake up you are being robbed of millions and millions every single day. RuSSia is getting poorer when it should be one of the Richest countries in the world.

@stanislavczebinski994 Brits drink a lot of beer at room temperature, particularly Cask Ale (Real Ale). Examples include Fuller's London Pride, Timothy Taylor's Landlord, Adnams Ghost Ship, and various Bitters like Marston’s Pedigree and Greene King IPA. Porters and Stouts, such as Guinness (some served chilled, others at room temperature) and Fuller's London Porter, are also enjoyed at this temperature. Mild Ales like Banks's Mild and Adnams Mild are other popular choices.
Serving beer at room temperature allows the full range of flavors to emerge, especially in cask ales, where the yeast and natural carbonation contribute significantly to flavor complexity. A British real ale or bitter that's too cold can mask its subtle nuances. In the UK, cask ales, bitters, porters, stouts, and mild ales are typically enjoyed at room temperature.
For many beer drinkers in the UK, this isn’t just about temperature—it's part of the tradition that enhances the enjoyment of these beers. If you're in the UK and want to experience local beer culture, try a pint of real ale served at cellar temperature for an authentic taste of British beer.
I’ve also had hot spiced beer in Poland while skiing, called "grzane piwo."

@KaliKali-hv9bt Any chance you could construct a sentence? At a basic level, a sentence typically consists of a subject, a verb, and an object. The subject is the person or thing that performs the action, the verb is the action itself, and the object is the recipient of the action.
For example: "The cat (subject) chased (verb) the mouse (object)." So at the moment you don't have a subject, as "they" is a bit vague, as is "them" and also "other person" I can't be expected to read 150+ replies to try and decode your message.
Once you get a hang of simple sentences they can be much more complex. They can have modifiers, adjectives, adverbs, and other elements that provide more information and nuance. The key is to ensure clarity and coherence so that the meaning of the sentence is easily understood.
It's also important to follow grammatical rules, such as using proper punctuation and maintaining agreement between subjects and verbs. So feel free to try again, and I might understand what you're going on about, because at the moment I haven't a clue. Thank you.

@stanislawcadenas4025 195? so you're including the Vatican and Palestine, or not? Are are also including, Kosovo, a Country With Limited Recognition? or how about Western Sahara, a Disputed Territory? and Taiwan – A Sovereign State Without UN Membership? (that isn't part of the the 195) You're really going to have to be more specific who you're including in the 195. What about Abkhazia & South Ossetia (Breakaway Regions from Georgia)? Transnistria (Breakaway Region from Moldova)? Somaliland – A Self-Governing Region. Declared independence from Somalia in 1991, but not included in the 195 or are they? Puerto Rico – A U.S. Territory With Unclear Status, a part of the United States, but not a fully independent country. Somehow Puerto Rico isn't included in the 195, but is part of the 230, along with Taiwan.... not quite as easy as you think. Donetsk and Luhansk are self-declared republics in eastern Ukraine. These regions declared independence in 2014, with backing from Russia, and have been the center of fighting in the Donbas War. Russia recognizes them as independent states (after the 2022 invasion), but the international community (including the UN) still considers them part of Ukraine. Shall I continue?

When you look at how capitalism plays out in Europe versus the U.S., the difference is pretty eye-opening. In the U.S., the system is harsh, it’s every person for themselves, with virtually no safety nets. But in most European countries, capitalism looks and feels a lot different. It’s been shaped into a social-democratic model. That means you still have free markets and economic growth, but they’re paired with strong social policies, things like universal healthcare, quality education, and solid workers’ rights. It’s a version of capitalism that actually tries to reduce inequality and support people, not just profits. Basically, Europe has figured out how to make capitalism work without losing sight of social fairness to all.

@ioanapetrescu2736 I followed your advice to “google” and visited the dictionaries of Merriam-Webster, Merriam-Webster Unabridged, American Heritage, and Webster’s New World and all include “sank” and “sunk” as standard past tenses. I then checked British dictionaries who consider “sank” the past tense and “sunk” an American variant past tense…..
To quote Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage, “Both sank and sunk are used for the past tense of sink. Sank is used more often but sunk is neither rare nor dialectal as a past tense, though it is often a past participle.”
The OED, dictionary based on historical evidence, lists both “sank” and “sunk” as past tenses. “The use of sunk as the past tense has been extremely common,”
In 1989 it’s worth noting that Walt Disney called their movie “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”, and not shrank the kids.

@Dandroid5000 I’ve travelled extensively across the USA, and your perspective is disconnected from reality. Try visiting the Houston Greyhound bus garage at night, where you’ll see hundreds of people, affected by drugs like spice and bath salts, moving zombie-like at 1 mph, chasing a single dollar. Even in major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, there are neighbourhoods facing extreme poverty and food insecurity. These areas, often referred to as "food deserts," have limited access to affordable, nutritious food. Food banks and soup kitchens are critical in these urban areas, with many non-profits running food distribution programs to help those in need. The USA has the most medicated population on the planet and is also the most morbidly obese Western country too. Then there’s the opioid crisis, particularly devastating in rural and economically depressed regions, leading to widespread addiction, overdose deaths, and broken families. Urban areas also grapple with homelessness and finding food, while racial and economic disparities continue to worsen these problems, making it incredibly difficult for marginalized communities to escape the cycle of poverty and substance abuse. Whilst you were holidaying in California you obviously had your eyes closed. California has a housing crisis. Skyrocketing home prices and rents, combined with a lack of affordable housing, have led to severe homelessness, particularly in major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco.

@briangall8442 only a thief would try and take back something that was fairly sold. It shounds like a typical Lavrov dirty trick.
Sergey Lavrov, loves the West very much. In particular, he loves London, in the UK. This is where his second family live, his mistress and step daughter, they live in a beautiful £4.4 million Kensington mansion, bought with money laundered from the RuSSian people.
RuSSia should be one of the richest countries in the world except PooTIN and his oligarch friends steal all the gas and oil money, so they can spend it on hookers, mistresses, cocaine, super yachts and mansions all over the world.
The RuSSia people are very lucky to have leaders like Lavrov and PooTIN.

@margaretsause2868 The sentiment that London is "getting worse" has been voiced for centuries, and people throughout history have often lamented the state of the city. Samuel Pepys, in 1666, wrote after the Great Fire of London, "It is strange to think how to this very day I cannot sleep in a whole night without great terrors of fire... It is a miserable thing to think what will become of this wretched city." William Cobbett in 1821, a political reformer, described London as "a great wen, a swollen, bloated, corrupt, and heartless mass" in Rural Rides, criticizing the city's industrial changes and the rise of poverty. Charles Dickens, writing in the 1850s, frequently portrayed the darker side of Victorian London with its crime, poverty, and pollution, observing, "Smoke lowering down from chimney-pots, making a soft black drizzle, with flakes of soot in it as big as full-grown snowflakes – gone into mourning, one might imagine, for the death of the sun." Even in 1940, George Orwell criticized the societal challenges and class divisions in pre-WWII London, noting "the horrors of London... the endless detail, the momentary glimpses of squalor and the vast sadness of the metropolis." These voices show that concerns about London's decline are not new; people have always expressed such worries, yet the city has continued to evolve and thrive through every era.

@michaelallan5317 Councils waste money - on speed bumps, bike lanes and enterprise zapping clean air zones and yellow lines everywhere - then there's things such as putting 60 bollards outside a primary school by Birmingham council council. Golden handshakes and salaries of £150k+ This country spends £168.2 billion a year on the NHS which I sounds like a lot of money to me, and I'm not sure we're getting value for money. Glasgow city council has 14 press officers - can you imagine? Sheffield city council employs 24 press officers - which is more than the entire government department for international trade. Manchester city council had the most valuable art collection in the country (worth a £369 million) of which only 8% is on display. In 2017-18 the UK’s local authorities spent £6,593,523 on award ceremony's. Between January 2016 and December 2017 at least 6,047 council-owned commercial properties were declared vacant, with the total cost of providing security, insurance, maintenance and renovation of these properties was £74,022,381 a year!.... would you like me to go on, I've got stacks of this stuff.

@ChrisPPata01 he is a liar, a faker and on the RuSSian Payroll -
He didn't do a video on the sinking of the Moskva did he?

@violinhunter2 100s of 1000s of dead RuSSians? - what a beautiful gift from PooTIN.
Will they be the jack-in-the-box tanks, where the turrets fly 100s of metres in to the air? They're my favourite! I laugh to hard when they explode
I can't wait to add the dead generals to my list - Colonel Alexei Sharov, Major General Vitaly Gerasimov, Major General Andrei Kolesnikov, Major General Andrey Sukhovetsky, Major General Oleg Mityaev, Lieutenant General Andrei Mordvichev, Lietenant Colonel Dmitry Safronov, Lieutenant Colonel Denis Glebov, Guard Colonel Konstantin Zizevsky, Guard Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Agarkov, Colonel Andrei Zakharov, Colonel Sergei Porokhnya, Colonel Sergei Sukharev, General Magomed Tushaev, Guards Colonel Vladimir Zhoga, Leutenant General Yakov Rezantsev, Deputy Commander Vladimir Frolov.

@broflo3875 inferiority complex? you might want to read what you've written again, you sound positively paranoid... foreigners hate you? is that all 177 countries in the world? You'll be telling me next that feet and inches makes sense (it's only the USA, Miyamar and Liberia that still use them) - the other 175 countries in the world went metric. Although I freely admit there's a few more countries that still use Fahrenheit - USA, the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Liberia, Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands... I wonder if you can work it out yet? Yup, you got it, the USA is backwards. Oh and before I go I just love Indy car racing, you know where they go round and round in circles 200 times, never to do a right turn or challenge themselves against other countries, (I'm guessing paranoia again or the fear of losing to "foreigners"), whereas F1is a truly global racing championship.

The statement "So more like 50% more than double" is not just confusing—it's downright nonsensical. Let's break this down, shall we? The US population is 360 million, and the combined UK + EU population is 550 million. Doubling 360 million gives you 720 million, which is already way more than 550 million. So, saying "50% more than double" would mean adding another 50% to 720 million, which would give you a whopping 1,080 million. Clearly, 550 million is nowhere near 1,080 million, and it's not even double the US population, let alone 50% more than double. A more accurate (and less misleading) way to phrase this would be to say that the UK + EU population is about 1.5 times the US population or 50% larger than the US population. Hopefully, that clears things up.

@proquciprodesse210 Eurofighter Typhoons, F-35B Lightning II and H-64E Apache helicopters. Aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates, and numerous nuclear submarines - which is far better than anything Ukraine has, and we know how much Russia is struggling against them. The UK Navy is ranked 6th strongest in the world, its fleet size is smaller than some other navies, it makes up for this with advanced technology, nuclear-powered submarines, and the recent addition of two Queen Elizabeth-Class aircraft carriers. The Astute-Class attack submarines and Vanguard-Class ballistic missile submarines (with Trident nuclear missiles) ensure the Royal Navy's place as a dominant force in underwater. The RAF is consistently ranked in the top 5 air forces globally, alongside the U.S., Russia, China, and India. While the RAF’s fleet size is smaller than those of major global powers, its strength lies in its advanced aircraft, training, and operational capabilities. The UK, as a whole, is generally ranked among the Top 5 military powers globally, alongside the U.S., China, Russia, and India. Its relatively smaller size compared to these nations is offset by its advanced technology, professional training, and ability to project power globally.
NATO Contribution: The RAF and Royal Navy are key contributors to NATO operations, giving the UK considerable influence within the alliance, further enhancing its strategic importance on the world stage.

@proquciprodesse210 The British Navy and RAF are consistently ranked around 5th globally, just behind the USA, Russia, China, and India, and on par with France. The Royal Navy is one of the oldest and most respected naval forces, with advanced technology allowing it to maintain global maritime power. It operates a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines, including those carrying the Trident missile system, giving the UK strategic nuclear deterrence capabilities. Additionally, the UK is one of a small number of countries capable of operating modern aircraft carriers, further enhancing its global reach.
While the UK’s armed forces are smaller compared to some other global powers, their cutting-edge equipment, such as the F-35 Lightning jets, advanced submarines, and versatile surface ships, ensure their effectiveness. The Royal Air Force, with its state-of-the-art aircraft and expertise in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, complements this power. The high level of professionalism, rigorous training, and experience are key factors that keep the British forces among the top in the world, allowing them to punch above their weight. Strategic alliances, particularly within NATO, also amplify the UK's military influence on the global stage.

Please email the following to the Korean embassy - "I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the appalling behaviour of Ramsey Khalid Ismael, also known as Johnny Somali, during his recent visit to the Changdong History and Culture Park in Seoul. It has been widely reported that he displayed shocking disrespect by kissing and twerking near a statue that honours the victims of wartime sexual slavery. This disgraceful act is not only deeply offensive to the Korean people but also dishonours the memory of those who suffered unimaginable hardships.
It is particularly troubling that Mr. Ismael has demonstrated a pattern of overt disrespect toward Asian cultures. His prior conduct in Japan, where he disrupted public order and mocked local authorities by lying to them, is evidence of his disregard for the people and traditions of the countries he visits. This behaviour reflects a broader contempt for Asian communities, which he appears to exploit for personal attention and notoriety.
I urge the Korean authorities to take swift and decisive action to address this matter. Such behaviour cannot be tolerated, and it is essential to send a strong message that cultural landmarks, as well as the dignity and history of the people they honour, must be respected. I respectfully recommend that Mr. Ismael is prosecuted to the fullest extent of Korean law and, if appropriate, incarcerated for his offensive and disruptive actions.
This incident has understandably caused widespread outrage, and I believe that addressing it firmly will reflect Korea’s commitment to upholding justice, preserving the dignity of its cultural heritage, and standing against those who perpetuate disrespect towards Asian communities.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that the authorities will act appropriately to ensure that such actions are not repeated".

@Peter-rd9jf The British Navy and RAF are consistently ranked around 5th globally, just behind the USA, Russia, China, and India, and on par with France. The Royal Navy is one of the oldest and most respected naval forces, with advanced technology allowing it to maintain global maritime power. It operates a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines, including those carrying the Trident missile system, giving the UK strategic nuclear deterrence capabilities. Additionally, the UK is one of a small number of countries capable of operating modern aircraft carriers, further enhancing its global reach.
While the UK’s armed forces are smaller compared to some other global powers, their cutting-edge equipment, such as the F-35 Lightning jets, advanced submarines, and versatile surface ships, ensure their effectiveness. The Royal Air Force, with its state-of-the-art aircraft and expertise in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, complements this power. The high level of professionalism, rigorous training, and deep experience of UK military personnel are key factors that keep the British forces among the top in the world, allowing them to punch above their weight despite their smaller size. Strategic alliances, particularly within NATO, also amplify the UK's military influence on the global stage.

RuSSia should be one of the richest countries in the world except PooTIN and his oligarch friends steal all the gas and oil money, so they can spend it on hookers, mistresses, cocaine, super yachts and mansions all over the world. The RuSSia people are very lucky to have leaders like Lavrov and PooTIN. Sergey Lavrov, loves the West. In particular, he loves London, in the UK. This is where his second family live, his mistress and step daughter, they live in a beautiful £4.4 million Kensington mansion, bought with money laundered from the RuSSian people.

1. NLAW stops tanks dead in their tracks
Weighing just 12.5 kilograms, NLAW is a portable, shoulder-launched system that can be used by a single operator. Its armour-piercing warhead can destroy a heavily protected modern battle tank with one shot, and the system is effective at ranges between 20 and 800 metres.
Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt says in the field, this combination of mobility, flexibility and destructiveness is a game-changer. “With NLAW, you don’t need a platoon to attack tanks,” he says. “You can train an ordinary soldier to use the system in an hour. And then you can have NLAW-equipped soldiers across the entire environment waiting for a tank to advance.There could be an NLAW equipped solder behind any rock or bush.” Hovbrandt says where tank operators and advancing forces could once track down anti-tank platoons to neutralise the opposition, they now face a threat that is far harder to locate – and more lethal. NLAW forces tanks to change course so they can be herded them into ambushes.
NLAW - Stop tanks dead in their tracks
"With NLAW, you don’t need a platoon to attack tanks"
Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt, Technical Sales Support Manager for Ground Combat within Saab
2. NLAW hits the target
One of the major challenges anti-tank weapons face in complex environments is hitting the target despite countermeasures and obstacles including other vehicles, heat sources and power lines. Unlike many other anti-tank weapons, NLAW does not rely on active target seeking system. Instead, it uses ‘predicted line of sight’ targeting, incorporating magnetic and optical sensors to rapidly travel to the target location. No lock on signature is required. The operator simply tracks the target for a few seconds before firing and NLAW does the rest.
NLAW - hit your target
Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt says NLAW also allows operators to quickly select the distance at which the missile arms itself. “Say you are in complex terrain where a number of vehicles have been hit and you have a burning vehicle 50 metres in front of you and the true target is 150 metres away. You just switch over the arm distance to 100 metres. The missile will fly blind over the first target and then start looking for the target.”
3. NLAW leaves tanks nowhere to hide
While many anti-tank missiles need to first gain altitude before launching a top attack, NLAW’s Overfly Attack function is effective at a range of just 20 metres making it effective at short range and even in situations where a tank in under cover. The missile flies about a metre over the top of the tank and launches devastating attack on the roof. The system is also extremely effective in situations where the operator can only see a tiny portion of the tank. “If a tank is concealed behind cover with a hatch or antenna visible, the NLAW operator simply aims at the visible part of the tank,” says Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt. “The missile then travels one metre above the line of sight before taking the tank out from above.”
4. NLAW turns the hunter into the hunted
Tanks have traditionally allowed operators to hunt down the opposition in relative safety. NLAW turns the tables. Because it is man portable and flexible, it allows tanks to be attacked from almost any position – from high up in a building, from behind a tree or from within a ditch. It can also be fired safely from within enclosed spaces, such as rooms, even with other soldiers present. “You can be anywhere,” says Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt says. “You can fire down 45 degrees and can shoot from inside a building, from a basement or from the second floor of a building out of the range of most tanks.” The system is equally effective day or night.
5. NLAW can destroy different targets
While NLAW has the power to stop a tank, it is also effective against a range of other targets. In direct attack mode, it can be used against soft targets like trucks, buses cars, helicopters. When fired directly through a window and into a building fragments will cause significant damage.
NLAW - destroy different targets
Another key benefit is its fast response time. “For a trained gunner, it takes just five or six seconds to go from carrying it in his left hand, to raise it to his shoulder, get out the sites, select firing support, and aim at the target,” says Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt. “The missile can cover 400 metres in under two seconds. So, it can be up to 600 metres away from detection to hit in less than 10 seconds. That’s very fast.”

In the realm of troublesome pests, we encounter the Rattus Ivanicus, commonly known as the black Orc. These pesky creatures exhibit a knack for seeking shelter in an array of habitats, ranging from serene forests and open fields to less savoury locations such as sewers and makeshift burrows in the ground.
When faced with an infestation of these unwelcome Orcs in human settlements, swift and effective pest control methods become paramount. To ensure a rapid and humane eradication process, a range of tools are employed. Bullets, bombs, mines, and missiles have all proven their efficacy in swiftly decimating Orc populations, alleviating the burdens they impose on affected areas.
While the Orc may not garner admiration or fascination, the utilization of these formidable measures ensures a practical approach to managing the infestations, minimizing their impact on human communities. Through such concerted efforts, balance can therefore be restored, as the Orcs are wiped from the face their invaded territories.

Typical boorish behaviour from an American, I hope they put him in prison for 10 years. Johnny Somali, also known as Ramsey Khalid Ismael, has sparked controversy and faces legal issues in South Korea due to a series of disrespectful actions. He kissed and twerked on a statue symbolizing Korean women who were victims of Japanese wartime sexual slavery, a move that outraged locals. Prior to his visit, he tweeted about wanting to "slap" a BTS member, provoking anger from fans. While in South Korea, he displayed a drawing of the Japanese rising sun flag, offensive due to its association with Japan’s wartime aggression. He also disrupted public spaces by playing explicit and North Korean music loudly on public transport, ignoring requests to stop. He further antagonized locals and officials by telling Koreans to “speak English” and acting disrespectfully toward the police, even while in custody. Additionally, authorities are investigating him for possible drug use and hindering business operations, and he now faces a potential 10-year prison sentence if convicted.

send the following to your korean embassy "I am writing to express my profound outrage and concern regarding the reprehensible actions of Ramsey Khalid Ismael, also known as Johnny Somali, during his recent visit to the Changdong History and Culture Park in Seoul. His egregious behaviour, including kissing and twerking near a statue honouring the victims of wartime sexual slavery, demonstrates an appalling lack of respect for Korea’s history, culture, and the memory of those who endured profound suffering.
This incident is not an isolated case. Mr. Ismael has a documented history of misconduct across Asia, including disruptive and disrespectful behaviour in Japan, where he mocked local authorities and exploited their goodwill through deceit. His repeated offences suggest a calculated pattern of contempt toward Asian cultures, treating their histories, people, and values with blatant disrespect for personal gain and notoriety.
Such actions are not merely offensive; they are a direct affront to the dignity of the Korean people and a broader insult to Asian communities. His behaviour perpetuates harmful stereotypes and fuels division, making it imperative for Korean authorities to act decisively. Allowing such behaviour to go unchecked risks emboldening others who may seek to exploit or demean cultural symbols and sacred memorials.
I respectfully urge the Korean government to prosecute Mr. Ismael to the fullest extent of the law. His actions warrant severe consequences, including incarceration, to reflect the seriousness of his misconduct and to uphold Korea’s commitment to preserving the sanctity of its cultural heritage. By addressing this matter firmly, Korea can send a powerful message that it will not tolerate such disgraceful acts against its history, its people, or the broader Asian community.
This situation has caused widespread international outrage and has drawn significant attention to the need for justice. I trust that Korea will lead by example in holding Mr. Ismael accountable for his actions.
Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. I remain confident in your commitment to addressing this issue with the seriousness it demands".

Yes, Muslims in the UK, like all other individuals, are required to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) when purchasing property, provided the property value exceeds the government-set thresholds. The tax applies to anyone buying property in England and Northern Ireland, regardless of their religion.
How Stamp Duty Works:
Stamp duty is a government tax applied to property purchases, and its rate depends on the property's value, type (residential or commercial), and whether it's a first home or an additional property. The thresholds and rates may change, so it's important to check current guidelines on the government website.
Islamic Considerations:
Some Muslims, due to religious beliefs, prefer Islamic finance options when buying property. These options comply with Sharia law by avoiding interest (Riba), which is prohibited in Islam. In these cases, buyers may use products like Islamic mortgages (also known as Home Purchase Plans), which operate differently from conventional mortgages.
Important to Note: In the past, there were concerns about Muslims paying stamp duty twice under Islamic finance agreements. This issue has been addressed through specific tax provisions, ensuring that buyers using Islamic finance don’t pay extra stamp duty compared to conventional mortgages. However, the stamp duty itself still applies in accordance with standard rules.
