I'm confused. If by "leaker" you mean the 'unnamed senior official" that "leaked" information about an impending Iran deal, it has been established that the unnamed official was Vance, and all reporters in the room were told to refer to him as an unnamed senior administration official. Trump...

Thanks for your personal opinion. It contained no surprises. I do not need your help, or your vitriol. Have a great day

You seem to believe that you know what is in my head and heart. Please don't do that. So far, you are inevitably wrong when you try to do that. Moreover it is disrespectful and dismissive to do so. I have not claimed any insight into your personal motives and belief system because a) it is...

It was 6.41% during the 07/08 sub-prime crisis, which led to a global intervention and a massive reduction in interest rates. That option is not available right now due to higher inflation.... This will not end well

Because it would be bad for the country. Is it impossible for you, who served in the military and the defence of our country, to imagine that anyone would act in the interests of the institution and the country and not just out of self interest? Anyone at all?

If he did not consider that possibility, the hyenas would be screaming about his failure to consider all possibilities. I don't want leadership that fails to examine a wide range of scenarios. It is almost like he acting in the best interests of the country he leads, rather than pandering to...

Space elevator with a rocket shuttle link between the two terminuses (termini?)

That is an apples to pork roast comparison, and you know it. Neither of those two countries were ever part of the European Union. Not joining is a dramatically different choice than unjoining.

Morally wrong to not step aside? That is quite the specific moral code. In this moral code, who is the arbiter of when one is "financially set". Is it a tribunal? A simple figure? Government regulations? the judgement of co-workers? a Lottery? I understand why you might be upset. Not...

Have you offered to leave your job so that others less fortunate than you can work?

If by huff you mean delusional mass psychosis responding to a question that didn't need to be asked, without bothering to understand any element of the problem, then huff it is. Otherwise, they are sitting in a hole they dug nursing the foot they shot.

NATO means US leadership. The JEF is under Brit leadership, comprised of European TCNs. The Brits are being spurned by the US, and is no longer part of the EU. They have lost a lot of relevance for a P5 Nation.....whose nuclear capability is subject to US control. So they have to decide if...

Because after Brexit, they were no longer welcome in EU formations such as the EuroCorps. This gets them bacj in the "Defence of the EU" game, and tied to a specific strategic problem

I would imagine that the JEF will be much akin to the AMF(L) or ARRC committments, which we have made in the past. Both provided a mission thread and theatre to focus training and commitments. I was part of AMF(L) in 3 VP, and part of the Lead Mechanised Battlegroup of the ARRC in 1 RGJ. 1st...
