This would be one of the submarines China is hiding in the sea?
Ireland has been independent for about a century and outside the Gaeltacht, everybody speaks English, and yet Irish (i.e. Gaelic) is still taught to all pupils and used on official documents. In Wales (which, for most administrative purposes, is a part of an entity known as England-and-Wales), signage has to be in both English and Welsh, and official agencies have to provide services in Welsh; there are few monolingual Welsh speakers and anecdotally the popularity of Welsh of said to alternate generationally (i.e., if your parents don’t speak it, it’s cool).
Representation is important in a pluralist democracy, and the people who want to eliminate minority language support to “better fund schools and hospitals” or whatever generally aren’t in favour of funding public services either (much in the same way that those who want to kick foreigners out to “help our own” overwhelmingly tend to be against actually helping our own), but “let’s get rid of te reo to fund tax cuts for the rich” doesn’t sound as compelling
The Brits? Try the Third Crusade.
To the vatniks, he was just another “amer”, like the ones ransomware gangs target: soft, fat, stupid, greedy, barely human and deserving only of contempt. For a while he was a useful idiot, gullibly thinking he could be an Orc like them, but once the amusement value wore out, it was time to get rid of him.
The Swedish government’s environmental policies can be summarised as “whatever makes Greta cry”
He sounds like the kind of Black person white supremacists like: one not only venal enough to carry their flag and accept their instrumental praise, but to demonstrate the sort of stupidity and savagery that reinforces their view of their racial superiority.
Everyone targeted was a member of an internationally recognised terrorist organisation, and there was no reason for non-members to ever have the pagers. There are questions about rules of engagement, but one thing this operation wasn’t technically is terrorism.
Israel will have to remind them of their eternal obligation
In law, every SS member, without exception, was axiomatically classified as a war criminal, with membership being sufficient evidence in itself. Of course, the western allies were not above looking the other way if it potentially meant the difference between victory and defeat in the Cold War, but this was an informal policy imposed from high up.
It is classified as a terrorist organisation by the majority of the international community. By legal definition, all Hezbollah members are terrorists regardless of what they do in the organisation, in the same way that all SS members are war criminals even if they were an office janitor or something, which makes them legitimate targets in a broader way than ordinary combatants who are bound and covered by the laws of war.
If there is a technique for doing that with a standard lithium-ion battery, we can say goodbye to bringing personal electronic devices on flights from now on. Though given that it’d be only a matter of time until ransomware gangs and online swatters get this, would we want to have anything with a battery in a pocket?
Both of them answer to Old Nick.
If Mossad have figured out a technique of remotely turning any lithium-ion battery into a bomb, then we’re about to enter very interesting times.
The judicial record of England and Wales says otherwise.
But is she an officially adjudicated antisemite like Jeremy Corbyn or is this just some guy’s opinion?
Given the fashion for giving vehicle models latinate masculine names like Camino and Montero, they missed a trick by not naming the postal vehicle the Tristero.
My broseph in christ, you tried to kill high-speed rail by promising magic-tube gadgetbahn that would make it obsolete any day now
