You do realise that it's currently the equivalent of October 1914

and we're sliding inexorably into a world war, don't you?

It's strange how calm and accepting everyone is.

Pucker up your árseholes, boys. It's armageddon for us all.

Do you not think Trump may be bluffing? I'd have thought he'd have struck by now.

Apparently May is going to contribute 1 x RAF Voyager for air to air refueling :hehe:

Also, Putin isn't going to shoot an F-22 out of the sky because 1) he doesn't have the minerals and 2) because he doesn't have the resources to do so.

Are you speaking from memory?

Was looking at some odds over the weekend and stumbled across - Donald Trump tonwin a Nobel Peace Prize @ 6/4.

Awfully short unless they hand it out like knighthoods imo

I'm surprised at you, a. Surprised, and a little disappointed.

I'm pretty sure they'd finished sliding inexorably into war by October 1914, hadn't they? The Guns of August and all that?

Good point. I have November in my head, clearly.

I wonder whether a thermo-nuclear device exploding above London at 3 a.m. would wake me up?

Nobody starts wars in November. Weather's too dreadful. In fact, it could be argued that the Germans had already effectively lost the war by October 1914. It just took them four years to realise it.

When it comes to thermonuclear devices, I'm not sure where I stand these days. When one lived in London, one could at least be fairly certain you'd at least die in the blast rather than a lingering death from radiation sickness and whatnot. Now I don't know.

True. War should always be declared in favourable weather. Hitler declared war on the US in a December. Silly boy......
