Right now, there are likely to be one or more Attack Submarines

shadowing the Moskva, ready to sink her on command. Will she be attacked id she engages NATO aircraft?

Here's a little flashback from the Falklands War, circa 1982:

Next time you eat one of those tasty Pepperidge Farm Cookies

My ex-Brother-n Law designed the facility to produce them. He is a Syrian Refugee since 1967. He was studying Mechanical Engineering here in the States and the June War Happened. He refused to fight.
I think of Nabih every time I have one. He's one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet.

Under the GOP plan, Social Security will not be needed.

Their plan is to make sure none of us live long enough to collect it.

One of ISIS' top commanders was a 'star pupil' of US-special forces training

One of ISIS' top commanders was a 'star pupil' of US-special forces training in the country of Georgia

Sporting a recognizable red beard and happy to pose for photos, Shishani has acted as a very public face for some of ISIS' most notorious successes.

It was Shishani who posed with the stolen US Humvees that ISIS had seized from Mosul and brought back into Syria.

And it was Shishani who had led successful ISIS military campaigns throughout Syria as well as a blitz through western Iraq that put the group within 100 miles of Baghdad.

These military successes are not simply the result of any innate military capabilities. Instead, Shishani spent years conducting military campaigns against the Russians, first as a Chechen rebel and then as a soldier in the Georgian military. During Shishani's four years in the military, from 2006 to 2010, his unit received some degree of training from American special forces units.

SUPREME COURT OF CANADA DENIES LEAVE TO RIO TINTO ALCAN

SUPREME COURT OF CANADA DENIES LEAVE TO RIO TINTO ALCAN; UPHOLDS SAIK'UZ AND STELLAT'EN FIRST NATIONS WIN AT B.C. COURT OF APPEAL
Original article:
SCC Summary of Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. Jackie Thomas, et al
Published Date:
15 Oct 2015

The Supreme Court of Canada today denied Leave to Appeal to Rio Tinto Alcan, and dismissed Rio Tinto Alcan's Application for Leave to Appeal from the earlier BC Court of Appeal decision in favour of the Saik'uz and Stellat'en First Nations.

The case now confirms that, in British Columbia, First Nations may sue an industry or private company for damaging lands or interfering with their use and occupancy of lands and rivers. The case is the first to confirm that common law tort actions such as nuisance and breach of riparian rights can apply on First Nation traditional lands, even where the company holds a permit from the Crown.

Chief Archie Patrick stated "This is a significant victory and a step forward for First Nations. Rio Tinto Alcan had claimed immunity authorizing them to willfully continue to damage our lands until we proved aboriginal title. We're pleased that the Court recognized that such rights are under Canada's constitution "existing" and that we have rights to access the Courts just as much as non-First Nation landowners."
