The fact is Nuclear Disarmament comes with a small N. These people want total disarmament. The notion that if there was no guns there would be no war. Which as the makers of spears, arrows and pointy rocks know is not accurate.
But they shout louder.

Elsewhere we have discussed for example the lack of ASW capability, would this be an area where MN could help with their capabilities and in return we provide joint OPV capability. The same goes for air cover and patrol, would the could the combined fleets be used more effectively. The C295 on joint FP patrols and the Atlantique 2 on joint submarine patrol?

Originally posted by Laners View PostWhy bother , most of the developed world use English as an international working language hence so many English language schools here in Ireland , I've been hosting Erasmus programme students for many years mostly from France ,Germany and Spain and their level of English is excellent .
My niece was there a few years back as part of her studies. Worse than the french when it comes to speaking their language. You know they all speak english, they just choose not to.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
