Ank is being fired out of a torpedo tube right now off the Syrian coast, armed only with a garrote and list of targets.

Are you kidding me, the guy's a commissioned officer in the Royal Jordanian Army.  I've been to his house.  I saw the uniform.  Two more years, and he's Deputy Chief of Staff.

Hopefully she got the info she was after, before you monkeys shitted up her thread. 

What the fuck happened here? I feel like parents coming home from holiday to find their teenagers advertised a house party on Facebook.

At a guess, what Always happens here.

BTW, when tempted to moan about who "can't admit or concede anything," look in the mirror first.  I conceded a point about Twin peaks earlier today, when faced with evidence that my earlier stand was based on incomplete evidence.  Can you point to a concession of wrong you have recently made in an argument?

BTW, the response to this challenge was exactly as expected:  a red herring argument, followed by the sound of crickets. 

To be fair, aren't you the guy who got on my case for calling Russian leaders "psychotic", and then slinked away without further comment when I pointed out that I never called them that?

No.  You used the term "psychopath" as I recall, and so did I.

To be fair, do you still contend that Russia has always been run by psychopaths, or are you slinking away from that contention?

It has all the quality of a British second hand sub.

The Hood was a fine warship in its day, but it probably shouldn't have been sent up against Bismarck.

Should have sent some subs.  Brazen, you got that?

Submarines didn't exactly have a great record against fast, maneuvering warships.  Maybe they could get put those two big, River-class subs out there in front of it, but their odds of success would be pretty slim.

The dreadnought battleship was still the ultimate antiship weapon in the North Atlantic at that time.  It would have made more sense to send KGV with Prince of Wales.
