HMS Lancaster stopped a drug boat in the Gulf of Oman. They sent out a wildcat helicopter with a Royal Marine sniper who took out the boats engine with a single shot.

The boat was boarded and $35M in drugs were seized. No-one died and those taken into custody could be tried with actual evidence

I personally have no interest in it but I would have liked a decent Tron sequel without him.

Colin Payne🇬🇧💛💙🇪🇺🇺🇦💚 @minophis.bsky.social · 8h

That will be a box office smash no doubt </s>

I thought I would be satisfied when I got more 3's than 5's but it's just not enough.

Exactly they also have real acting talent.

Hopefully after Tron Ares the studios will stop considering him for things.

My goal is to have more 3's than 4's

Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford were good and they managed it without the insane antics off set.

Apparently he wore opaque contact lenses on the set of Blade Runner 2049 and needed to be guided around by an assistant. It wouldn't be so bad if his eccentric method acting produced great results but it doesn't.

Didn't he send used condoms and a dead pig to other cast members in suicide squad as part of the method acting as the Joker? He does this crap and he is still box office poison.

Before this war Putin was thought to be a great strategist and Russia an unstoppable war machine.

They thought they would take Kyiv in days and Ukraine in a few weeks.

Three years later and how much does Russia have left? Their war will destroy them.

Politicians taking bribes from a hostile foreign power should face prison and they should certainly be banned from ever holding public office again.

Every Reform member should be investigated. Farage should have his finances and contacts scrutinized all the way to his time as an MEP. Leave no stone unturned.

I can see why they find it so easy to keep the Epstien files secret. Why protecting child molesters holds no moral qualms for them.

Now he needs to be asked why he denied it. He needs to be put under pressure. Reformand reform members finances need to be scrutinised.

Farage's finances and connections should be investigated right back to when he was an MEP voting against EU resolution to stop Russian election meddling in 2019.

Europe needs to scale up it's defensive capability along with the ability and willingness to operate together. We need to reach a point where Russia doesn't even dare look in our direction.
