Trump & Iran is pure rubbish, based upon zero fact - and I'm not supporting Trump there but being honest. Stop believing misinformation.

The UK can do what it wants just as we did in the Falklands when the USA were kept out of the loop.
Theorize all you want but the reality is that for everybody (everybody sensible at least), the use of nukes would be a last resort and no country which has them - the UK included - needs the permission of any other country to use them.
Nuclear weapons are there to enable de-escalation. We need them.

The problem comes when faced with an enemy that welcomes death as a martyr.

I am not convinced that many Islamics do, analyse what has happened over recent years.

Many of the suicide bombers were randy young men who were excited at the prospect of finding lots of virgins after death.... but not bright enough to understand that it wouldn't happen.
They reproduce at such a high rate they can afford to lose a few young men, and doesn't that mean there will be more young women to satisfy the older men's needs?
If they want to die, why do so many go into hiding to escape? Do their bombs fail or are they just trying to show women how brave they are, to gain more favours on earth?

I don't care what religion they are, no mother wants her son to die...and a mothers instinct is far greater than religious rules!
Many Muslim women don't like the rules of their religion & will one day wake up to the fact that they won't be so pressured by it. To their men they are just baby making machines, but the more they see western women making decisions for themselves, they will eventually seek equality.
You can already see some Muslim women getting well educated & taking high profile jobs. It is a slow process, but one day their women will find the strength....just like western women did!

Hi

Very well put Twinks, we will never agree on Covid 19, such is life.

I do so agree with you on this and everything else.

Swim, I have often thought it was the terrorists that encouraged the young men to give their lives for the cause, knowing they were naive enough to do so.
I think ISIS thought it would frighten us if their men gave their lives to beat us, but I have heard of many people who have tried to help during the attacks on innocent people. We are not beaten so far, just sad that quite a few lives have been lost!

I'm afraid you have a very great deal to learn about muhammadans and their beliefs.

They DON'T give their lives, that's the point. They offer their lives to allah. If it wants them it will take them and they will get a " go straight to paradise", if not they walk away.

Sorry comments like that mean nothing to me. Religion is just a belief and as their books are based on stories from many years ago, nobody can prove they are true! We all know how much stories change every time they are told!
Personally I don't care what they believe, but if their beliefs overcome their instinct to survive, they must be mentally damaged! I believe many of them are, thanks to their leaders who want to control them, but I think that anybody, who take lives of innocent people for their religion, should be arrested & executed. Perhaps then they will discover that there is no Allah or paradise..... these were just more stories to help their leaders to control them!
