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.

I think it means the video cannot be played.

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.

“unskilled” directly refers to the amount of training a job requires to do it. Anyone can wash dishes or do a newspaper round without any training. It’s not a skill to wash a plate properly.

Anyone can do an unskilled job and be efficient at it in a short space of time.

Newspaper round, washing dishes in a pub and putting seeds in soil in containers at a plant nursery.
