@Keg767 Not sure that in a war zone where just about everyone is trying to kill you and they all look the same it’s quite so clear mate.

I don’t know if Ben Roberts-Smith did what it is alleged he did. But murder is murder, even in a war zone. We are supposed to be better than ‘the others’. We don’t summarily execute people even if the ‘system’ is gong to then immediately release them.

this is possibly THE MOST Australian interview ever

@w_terrence He’s ILLEGAL and needs to go back and APPLY the correct way and wait his turn. See that’s CONTROLLED immigration, not the bs that the Democrats allowed to happen.

Please don’t send me back" — illegal immigrant breaks down as he faces deportation after 20 years in the U.S. “I been here for 20 years. I work hard. I pay taxes. I never do nothing wrong. Why they do this to me? I love this country. This is my home. My kids… my family… I don’t wanna go back to Mexico. Please… please don’t send me back.” His wife said: “I don’t feel safe anymore—for me or for my husband. They’re tearing families apart. This is not the America I know. It’s cruel. It’s inhumane. He’s been here 20 years. He built a life here. And now they’re just gonna rip it all away because of politics. He’s not a criminal. He’s a good man. He contributes to society. Trump and his supporters don’t care about people like us. They just want to hurt immigrants"

@SkyNewsAust Really because I’ve never been asked…..neither has anyone I know…..another bullshit story. Where did you poll? Westen Sydney !! 🤦‍♂️

More than 70 per cent of Australians believe Donald Trump is handling the war in Iran poorly, new Sky News polling has revealed. skynews.com.au/australia-news…

@TheBritishIntel Oh good luck there Pal…..your armed “Forces” ain’t gunna cut it, not even close.

🚨 CHILE SIDES WITH ARGENTINA ON THE FALKLANDS Chile has officially declared its support for Argentina’s claim over the Falkland Islands. This came in a joint statement after a meeting between the two countries’ leaders. The Falklands are British territory - defended with British blood in 1982. Now more countries are openly testing us because they sense weakness in London. Britain must make it crystal clear: The Falklands are ours and will remain ours forever.

It’s personal for Veteran Sam Bamford who goes ballistic over the arrest of decorated war hero Ben Roberts- Smith. He describes the horror of losing 3 mates shot by Taliban soldiers who had infiltrated the Afghan army working along side the AFD. With the first responders to make the scene safe being Ben Roberts-Smith and his team. ‘You don’t get to send us into that type of war zone and then judge us for what happened over there when we get home.’

@MCCCANM @HealthRanger Gravity, they all point at the ground now. Definitely melted…

@autothrottle @HealthRanger And they are bent in different directions…hard to imagine that happening in a crash.

Proof the C-130s crashed. Bent propellers. This is what happens when they hit the ground while spinning. Duh.

@Ryandally08 What???????? Jesus H 🤦‍♂️

@MCCCANM @HealthRanger Plus they all look to be feathered…….ie shutdown on the ground.

@HealthRanger The C-130 has composite propellors. They shatter on any kind of impact. These are melted, not shattered. Not a crash.

@realMaalouf Let’s all buy her a ticket then……off you go…..byeeeee

Pro-Palestinian activist in Germany: “As a queer woman, I’m not afraid of Hamas or going to Gaza. They are very accepting of LGBT allies, and anyone who says otherwise is lying. But I am afraid Israel would try to kill me.” How can anyone be so dumb?

@Arrogance_0024 Yep, something you’ll never understand mate…..🤦‍♂️

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

@lady_valor_07 “I know NOTHING, Nothing” in your best Sgt Shultz accent.

“Where am I?” 🤣

@RadiantShadow94 @SkyNews Go live there mate.

@SkyNews Why the fuck would Iran meet with the US at all? The US IS the problem.

BREAKING: Iran's foreign minister has taken to social media to say the country's position is being 'misrepresented by U.S. media', after the Wall Street Journal reported officials were unwilling to meet U.S. counterparts in Pakistan. trib.al/PBQ72px 📺 Sky 501

@RoshanKrRaii He forgot to praise Allah at the end…..

BREAKING : This is courageous 🔥 Keir Starmer 🇬🇧 on Iran 🇮🇷 : “There is a lot of pressure on me to change my position in relation to joining the war. I am not going to change my position, we will not join the war” Man finally showed Spine 👏🏻

@tony_chatham @Keg767 @analyticflying @Jamie_Freed @jeromelaxale @AlboMP Sorry Tony, forgive me, there’s a lot of armchair experts and Flight Simmers out there!!

@Keg767 @autothrottle @analyticflying @Jamie_Freed @jeromelaxale @AlboMP Thanks, Keg! Am neither an armchair critic nor MS Flight simmer but a simple thinker wondering ‘why is it so?’ . If no one asked questions, what kind of world would we inhabit? 👍

We are supposed to be experiencing a “fuel crisis” yet airlines are unnecessarily burning 000s of litres of fuel to comply with outdated noise restrictions. Today’s EK flight SYD/CHC is a good example. Why? @analyticflying @Jamie_Freed @jeromelaxale @Keg767 @AlboMP

@9NewsMelb @reid_butler9 Sure you’d like the US’s whole game plan delivered to you on a plate……🤦‍♂️

Donald Trump has failed to provide the world with any clarity on when the war with Iran will end. @reid_butler9 #9News

@3AW693 Who cares what that old fool thinks…….

The former Australian foreign minister is extremely concerned with the language the US President used earlier today. FULL THOUGHTS 👉 nine.social/16Pg

Iran was trying to use the North Korean model to get a nuke: create sufficient conventional deterrence so you won’t be challenged in acquiring one (it’s called the Seoul Hostage Problem). This has been explained over and over since day one. Everyone claiming shifting goalposts or no imminent threat has been lying. The reason North Korea was allowed to get nukes is because Seoul (and its 10 million inhabitants) is within artillery and rocket range of North Korea. During the 1994 nuclear crisis, the Clinton administration seriously considered airstrikes on North Korea’s Yongbyon reactor but backed off precisely because of the artillery threat to Seoul. Iran was trying to accomplish the same by stockpiling missiles and drones which would have had the same deterrent effect. The proof is what Iran has been doing in the past month: attacking all its neighbors in order to pressure the US to stop attacking it Beyond this, they were building medium-range ballistic missiles that could reach Paris and London, meaning all of Europe could be held hostage as they built a nuclear bomb. The reason Iran has not built a nuclear weapon until now is not because it couldn’t, but because it knew it would be attacked and denied this capability. So by allowing them to continue developing this conventional deterrence, you would be allowing Iran to get a nuclear weapon. And unlike North Korea, Iran is led by an eschatological death cult Reagan saw nuclear mutually assured destruction (MAD) as both morally bankrupt (because of the innocent-body-count problem) and dangerously fragile because it assumed flawless rationality between adversaries…this means it only takes one irrational actor to destroy the world. Working backwards from the conclusion that Iran’s Islamist regime must never have a nuclear weapon, it was necessary for the US to attack Iran to deny it the conventional capacity to hold the entire eastern hemisphere hostage. Every European leader knows this and behind the scenes praises the US for this action. But they are cowards, held hostage by their own internal Muslim populations, and so adopt these ridiculous public positions. This was never about Israel. And if your argument is that Iran should be allowed to get a nuclear weapon then you are a fool and a traitor to western civilization…you’re a useful idiot

@Keg767 @tony_chatham @analyticflying @Jamie_Freed @jeromelaxale @AlboMP Yeah,another armchair expert 🤦‍♂️

@tony_chatham @analyticflying @Jamie_Freed @jeromelaxale @AlboMP That’s pretty much the most direct way of getting an A380 from 34L to/from NZ without flying directly over the north shore and into the traffic from 34R. Very hard to de-conflict unless 34R is quiet.

@PIC_Colleen And thank you scheduling people.

I love short days like today! Finished by 12:30p, headed to the butcher to get a nice cut of meat for dinner (celebrating my soon-to-be husband’s APD ride for Captain!!!! 🥂🎆) and headed to go get a manicure. Tomorrow is similar, done around 5p which means I get to snag one of the last Pilates classes before the day ends. Life’s good. Thank you Jesus!
