It’s an air defence destroyer. It’s way too far away to be getting involved with anything in Iran.

It’s there to help defend Cyprus from drone attacks. It says so right there in the article.

My money is that the US didn’t give Kuwait the heads up that USAF jets would be flying through their airspace, so they never adjusted their Patriot systems to not shoot them down.

Iran are supplying Russia with drones that are used to attack Ukraine. It’s not hard to see why he’s supportive.

You’re posting literal Russian imperialist propaganda.

Why fuck Iranians? The majority are victims of their regime.

According to comments on the “other” site, it was shot down by a patriot system (friendly fire).

It doesn’t say the UK is defending Israel, it says defending allies.

Defending Bahrain or Jordan from incoming missiles is completely different to attacking Iran.

Did anyone here actually read what he said, or just reading the headline and jumping to their own conclusion that the UK is joining in on the attacks?

Meta: the mods need to pin a mega thread for this and ensure any updates go in there, otherwise the community will be chock full of similar articles.

Do we know what moderate means?

Isn’t the new Digg significantly younger though?

Well where’s the proof that he created it? I’ll happily stand corrected.

I just think that if we’re going to attack someone, it’s probably a good idea to use facts that are true and not made up (it’s likely that op just misremembered the details) otherwise it just puts doubt on any further valid points. I’ve no interest in defending the guy but I do think we should try and keep our facts straight when we criticise someone.

It was always the version of events that I’ve read.

I just did a quick search and found this, a video claiming that he was a mod, but the majority of comments indicate it’s not true and that it was debunked.

I’m not defending the guy but wasn’t it that a mod of that subreddit added him as a mod as a joke? I don’t think spez created it.

Those pesky Danes and Romans!

I’d guarantee that they’re already doing that now anyway. If you buy a new car but don’t choose the heated seats optional extra, the seats will still have the capability, just that they won’t enable it. This has been going on for decades; I recall an old Peugot 405 my parents had when I was young, there were various placeholder areas on the console where some switches would have bee on the more expensive models. All the wiring would be there, but just no phsyical switch on the console. They’ll standardise as much as possible to make the production process as simple and cheap as possible.

I can see the appeal from a potential customers point of view as you don’t need to stress about picking the wrong options and later regretting it.

I’m not totally against a subscription for features, as long as they provide the ability to purchase it outright and it stays on permanantly throughout the life of the car.

This is not saying that the source for this is Radio Free Asia, but that they’ve also reported similar.
