Is it time to join Nato

You don't like the verdict of the Court of Appeal because it made you look foolish. Head-the-balls take High Court actions every day of the week, I wouldn't get too excited, because the UK High Court sent them packing the last time, and the Court of Appeal granted them only one of their appeals on narrow administrative grounds which has subsequently been resolved by the Government's adoption of assessments.

Chagos islands, utter off-topic nonsense.

You're Anglophobic, in league with autocrats worldwide, and have a juvenile doctrinaire world view that leads you towards conspiracy theorizing and embarrassing yourself.

If you thought at the start of the thread you'd be opposing NATO on the grounds of an obscure dispute about an Indian Ocean island, you'd probably have admitted to yourself you'd have lost the thread. But you've come so far with the nonsense that you actual went there.

You don't get to have any standing accusing anyone about "pivoting" you're the cowboy that brought up Yemen (and then denied you brought it up), the Chagos Islands (hilariously), the NI Protocol.

It goes like this: you bring up yet another off-topic non-sequitur, you get absolutely filleted, then you move on to the next thing out of embarrassment. Rinse and repeat. What next? Toblerone shrinkflation and NATO?

Bring up other NATO countries arms industries if you wish. I'm mature enough to know developed democracies who defend themselves have defence industries, as they must. You're in la la land if you think setting down arms will make undemocratic actors like Russia, China etc play nice. In fact, you're a full-time resident of la la land.

Thank f*ck for NATO countrys defence industrys. They're the only thing at this very moment keeping a sovereign nation being swallowed by a fascist irredentist neighboring state.

Not that you give a hoot. All you want to do is indulge in Anglophobia and edgelord fringe conspiracies.

You directly brought up the Yemen conflict. You'll be made own it. You have zero standing to tell anyone about "pivoting" and off-topic posting.

You'll be filleted on this as you've been filleted on everything else.

If you're so sanguine about countries having the means to defend themselves, why are going off on an elaborate conspiracy theory about them for?

How are they supposed to defend themselves if not having domestic arms manufacturers? Pikes and flaming sods of turf? You're a serious joke.

I won't be contacting a mod. I'm filleting you for denying you brought it up in the effort to go wildly off-topic after getting your backside handed to you on another off-topic tangent.

Your dishonesty has you caught out, and I'm letting it be known.

Selling into conflict zones eh? What like Libya arming the Provisionals? (Indulge me on this off-topic venture for a moment)

"Both sides"

What a cute little evasion. "Both sides" but one side more than the other because it suits your doctrinaire edgelord world view. I'd do a bit of reading about who's doing what in Yemen and who's friends with who before you retreat to your "both sides" hidey-hole. You only see war crimes where you want to see them.

"Both sides" in the case of NATO and Russia as well apparently.

"Both sides" everywhere, except in the case of the UK, where revoked export licences for fuel gauges and radio equipment is apparently cause for deep alarm and devil horns to be painted on the object of your doctrinaire obsession.

Edgelord, Anglophobic, conspiratorial.

Are you talking about the Yemeni government or the Iranian and Hezbollah backed militias trying to pull the state down and set up a Tehran proxy state?

I can tell you don't have a f*cking bean what's going on in Yemen.

It would have been useful had YOU done so, because you were the one that brought it into the thread. You'll be made own it.

And you embarrassed yourself on the facts.

I'd also invite to start your thread on the Chagos Islands and whatever other aquarian topics you tried to shoehorn in here. But the reality is, you actually don't care about Chagos Islanders and you hadn't heard about them until you stumbled across the obscure matter while desperatley googling to buttress your Anglophobic rants.

Hell no!

The people pushing for joining NATO are the usual fantasists, read too many Tom Clancy books, and you just know they wont be anywhere near the fight if if did break out. Pure losers dreaming of glory on the battlefield...............but heaven forbid that they do the actual fighting, flat feet and asthma has them on the disability welfare, but only for that they would give Ivan a good pasting.

Losers one and all!

"When has the UK ever blocked a mission we wished to go on blanch?"

🤣

So you do trust the UK now, except when you don't - but you really trust them. But you have suspicions, which are based on facts, but your suspicions are not facts. Not yet. But they might be (maybe).

That's a hell of a foreign policy you have there.
