Iran is certainly 'bad', and now they are angry for vengence, and past caring how they achieve it, more so than ever before.

There's certainly a lot of spending lately, and some individuals and countries may experience an economic boom. However, for most countries, an economic boom usually requires reliable fuel (Oil) supplies. Don't forget that Japan went to war in WW2 due to Oil (and Iron) embargoes. China's economy...

Steve, These Mark Felton videos you keep posting are always good for a laugh, but usually based on myths and fake history, and only as 'reliable' as the history channel. For example, according to AI: Mark Felton Productions is a popular, high-output military history YouTube channel often...

Trump may be next, Americans have made several attempts already, talk about an 'off ramp'.

An Iran tax can't be far away for you guys, wars are expensive.

Tom, I agree that communication is important, however we all have a 'bias' based on our culture, religion etc that seems to make it difficult for some to see anothers point of view, which obviously does 'test' people now and then. Anyhow, I do enjoy renovating work, I have repainted about 50%...

Thanks, Cheers Kev.

Looking up some old posts, this thread is almost 20 years old, noting I actually joined this forum in 2005 under a different forum name, I subsequently added my current name due to technical issues, Shannon later deleted all the multiple forum names, that she knew of. Politics remains the most...

Nice pic Rob, I got the Ale version for my collection.

Of course we have the usual Funnel web spiders, Brown snakes and Taipans that are among the most venomous snakes in the world, I saw a baby Brown snake near the canal a few months back, even the babies are deadly. Another dangerous local that people should be more careful of are the pure bred...

Kev, I live on the Sunshine Coast, South East Queensland, about 90 km/1 hour drive North of the Qld capital, Brisbane. We have a sub-tropical climate here, but not warm enough for Crocodiles full time, on the very rare occassions one is spotted people get all panicy and park rangers etc trap...

Tom, I appreciate your pov, but of course we all look at the world differently. Since my retirement in January I have been checking out other hobbies as I have enough toy soldiers in my collection and have decided to leave my displays as is. I have recently gone full-on into renovating my...

Hey Mark, thanks for posting these photos, Figarti certainly produced some well detailed sets, some I had forgotton about. I can't even recall seeing this Ambushed Jeep before, what a terrific animated set.

The news outlets continue to concentrate on missile interactions similar to the earlier Iraq war, meanwhile Drones are proving difficult to counteract. Mike, I took some time off my home reno work and checked out your above links, and others, concerning drone attacks from Iran against...

Kev, yes, nearly as salty as the sea, the 'pond' out front of my place is lake size, it was originally a branch of a river estuary, property developers converted it into a canal subdivision (mainly urban) with brick banks and a weir at each end. I have some pet Bream (fish) and Black swans that...

Luv those Gladiator figs, should be popular with collectors.

Same, I had a change of plans recently, was going to shift my displays back into my Two builtin cupboards over the last few days, but decided to use those big cupboards to store my tools etc from the rusty old garden shed. Also moved my work bench inside, it will be much more comfortable doing...

Good to know Jason, I was lucky to get some scarce WWI Aussies etc from Anthony a few months back, he had heaps of other early sets at the time.

Okay, a good place to leave the discussion I guess, let's all hope for better times ahead.
