What's the difference between unfair advantage and vote rigging?
- @fluffy2560

One was decided upon by someone with a dog in the race, but the other was legal and above board.

The people funding propaganda claimed the government used propaganda to win.

No difference in rigged outcome which is what matters.

Thank goodness the people that do read this Forum, are bright enough and live in the real world, and if they are residents in the EU are fully aware of what's happening.

It's just a pity you don't Fred, all it does, makes you look silly.

Not really. A political group trying to rig a legal vote by funding propaganda is complaining that propaganda gives an unfair advantage.

Trump's illegal attacks against Iran, a nation with no ability to attack the US, is helping to isolate his rogue nation in the world.

One more very expensive nail in a likely to be bankrupt country's coffin.

Yes, it gives an unfair advantage to rig the system, therefore it's not a legitimate result.

We all know what Orban is up to.  Unless you are following it intently and in detail, you're not providing any value added with your comments.

European gas prices jumped Monday as Qatar halted LNG production at the world’s largest plant amid escalating Middle East tensions.

Of course this should not affect the US of A as it's self-sufficient in oil.

I can imagine many economies having kittens over this Iran debacle.

Hello everyone,

I have noticed there have been some tensions in the discussion, so I have decided to set aside a few inflammatory posts. Let’s all try to keep the conversation genuine, respectful, and friendly.

Thank you for understanding!

The US produces the wrong type of oil for its refineries,  that's why they have to import so much.

The girls school deaths is not a good look. The school was part of an Iranian naval base. They should have had better intel. - @fluffy2560

No, it was near a base, but not on it.

The misinformation you posted should be corrected

The situation regarding the school in Minab is part of a larger conflict, and the information regarding whether it was part of an Iranian naval base is still being investigated. The claims that the school was part of an IRGC base are being evaluated, and the use of schools as military sites is a serious concern, as it puts civilians at risk.

The only people claiming the school was being used by the military are Israeli.

Since they are the people who killed dozens of kids, their word is rather suspect.

Photographs and videos of the school show it as in open ground, and even anti-Iranian sites such as Hengaw show the reality of the situation.  The school was not being used by the military in any way other than to educate little kids.

Some more pro-Iranian, or at least anti-Israeli, sites are suggesting the attacks were deliberate murders committed to demoralise the navy, but these claims are to be treated with the same suspicion as the Israeli versions.
