Bright Bart posted:So the Greek side was like 'The Prime Minister of Greece is an important person held in esteem the world over. Greece is an ancient country, with a population of 11 million, and is the cradle of Western Civilization. You cannot completely snub the Prime Minister of Greece in such an arrogant, utterly bullying way.' Its such a weird fight to pick. Greece have been asking for them back for decades. You can moan that he was asked to not bring them up but journalists were obviously going to bring it up. I think there was an attempt to make Sunak look firm on the issue but instead it just kinda comes across that he doesn't have the nerve to say no to the guys face and pissed off a major ally in the process.

You can moan that he was asked to not bring them up but journalists were obviously going to bring it up. Right? Here's how he could have handled it. 'Mr Prime Minister, I don't believe this is on the agenda we have both set for this meeting, which has a lot of pressing issues that we need to deal with.' In the Guardian article I read about this an old Conservative (peer?) said he suspects this move was premeditated and meant to shore up Sunak's culture war credentials. He's obviously biased but still It's not a bad hypothesis. Instead he handed Starmer a win, the Greek PM being the Xth world leader who met with the Labour boss but not the Conservative one.

Germany means businessquote:As of 2020, it also results in up to three years of imprisonment as punishment for damaging or reviling the flag of any foreign country (§104 StGB). Until then, only flags that were shown publicly by tradition, event, or routinely by representatives of an official foreign entity were protected. The legislative reform to include also unofficially or privately used flags was an explicit reaction to the repeated burning of Israeli flags during anti-Israeli protests.[45][46] You better be very precise when you sing or play Ode to Joy there.

Trenches are just a long hole, so about all you can do with them is make them less hole with a bunch of trees from a tank or much more hole with tons of explosives. Things that are more ornate and structural than a long hole would require much less to rearrange.

Somewhere, lost to the sands of time, is an Armando Iannucci piss take of the Sun's news graphic of the assault on the Tora Bora mountain tunnel system. All I can remember is it showed a helicopter dropping a sarcastic sprinkling of cocoa in the aftermath of a bombing, calling it a "Condoleezza Cappucino".

The underground complex doodles are fascinating to me because they're like outsider art, like those artists who draw under massive doses of psychedelics. It's fascist doublethink fantasy in full free association. The Gazans are little more than animals but they've got Tracy Island poo poo.
