Why didn't they recall our ambassador also?

A worsening of relations and an arms race? Still, good to see where our rulers are at whilst we are facing global climate catastrophe.
What's health and safety like on nuclear subs and what are cancer rates/other illnesses among ex crew?
They've decided leaving the ambassador in place offers better taunting opportunities - "We're not irrelevant, you're the ones who are irrelevant."
“Our British friends explained to us that they were leaving the E.U. to create ‘global Britain,’" French Secretary of State for European Affairs Clément Beaune said before the ambassador recalls were announced. “We can see that this is a return to the American fold and a form of accepted vassalization,” he said.
“We know their permanent opportunism,” said Le Drian on French television, comparing Britain’s role to a “fifth wheel on the wagon.”
Obviously, i don't approve of this message, or find any of it remotely funny whatsoever...
Tragic and still far less than the innocent Afghan lives wastes in that conflict.I don't know about submarine crews, but I did read a study that said that MS is an expected diagnosis in Marines about seven years after serving in either Afghanistan or Iraq. There's currently about 28,000 former Marines with MS receiving benefits from the VA.

Have you got a link for that? Ta. Not questioning it just personally interested.I don't know about submarine crews, but I did read a study that said that MS is an expected diagnosis in Marines about seven years after serving in either Afghanistan or Iraq.

Story hereIn an amusing parallel of China's rather strident, and remarkably unsuccessful, diplomacy - France has cancelled a meeting between the French and British Defence Secretary's, another meeting between the French-British Defence Council, and - perhaps most astonishingly - a visit of the President of Switzerland to Paris, because Switzerland had the temerity to (traitorously) decide to buy US fast jets, rather than French ones.
not being an expert in French domestic politics I don't know how this looks in France, but to me it looks like Macron has been sniffing industrial quantities of glue...
France's defence minister has cancelled talks with her UK counterpart amid the row prompted by a new security deal between Britain, the US and Australia. Paris is angry after Australia signed the Aukus pact to build nuclear-powered submarines, pulling out of a major contract with France in the process.
I've taken Lariam, which was originally developed as anti-Malarial in Vietnam and is notorious as a really dodgy and untrustworthy thing to put in your system. Unlike a lot of people, I didn't have a psychotic episode as a result, though I do recall pretty bad night in Makeni. . . anyway, long-term Lariam use is also meant to fuck up your liver pretty bad. I take it what your veteran contacts were given wasn't Lariam? Or was it?I became curious when I realized that every military veteran I know that served in Afghanistan had MS. They claim it was caused by something they were given to prevent malaria that was neurotoxic, but I don't know if there's a connection or not. It probably explains some of the anti-vaccine hysteria you see on the right. Naturally, the military officially says there's no connection, but their credibility is lacking at this point.

MS is a disease of the central nervous system that can cause symptoms throughout the body, as well as thinking and memory problems.www.everydayhealth.com
Here's an article from 2004, on the connection between military service and MS:
None of these are the article I read. It was one line in something I read a week ago. I'll see if I can find it.

We live in a world where the likes of Rio Tinto can run automated mines on the other side of the world form London, one where HK journalists, get arrested as 5eye agents for tweeting statements from the now FC&DO. A world where unnotified Russian exercises at the edge of the EU are more accurately discussed by the Sun on a Saturday than when the European Commission a couple of days later or The Guardian the day after. That should be sprinkled in, I can thin of a few true truths regarding France relationship that should be sprinkled in. Though if this is the place it certainly isnt the time. Germany - China tooThis.

The Aukus deal has enraged China and humiliated France, when British diplomacy should be concentrated on Europe, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkinswww.theguardian.com
Hmm, this puts a different light on things regarding the French claims that the cancellation came out of the blue, from 1:48 onwards:
Surely you're not suggesting the French aren't telling the whole truth...Hmm, this puts a different light on things regarding the French claims that the cancellation came out of the blue
It would be great if all subs were like the Thunderbirds.

Bolt is a grade A cunt. A more polished version of the scum that inhabit GB News, a cheerleader for Trump, a defender of the pedophile Pell and now apparently a covid denier. He might be correct on some points (stopped clocks) but hopefully he'll be sent underwater in a leaking sub.Hmm, this puts a different light on things regarding the French claims that the cancellation came out of the blue, from 1:48 onwards:
