US Destroyer T-boned - Again

No need to warn me.
If you see me in Canada it can only mean that global warming has submerged everything between Florida and Washington state. Otherwise, why the hell would I go to that wintry wasteland?
We have everything Canada has right down here, plus better weather.

Better weather in Seattle? I don't think so, I'll take snow over rain, all day.

That's what Caracas North is for, it's party town, no doubt, 'specially during the Grand Prix, but a bit of a pain in the ass otherwise, as much as Upper Canada is a Victorian Nanny Police State, at least the trains run on time and the roads are not crumbling into sinkholes.

It's not like none of my taxes end up in the hands of a Mafia, but nothing like 80%. And in the end, I am a Victorian, so I don't mind so much that we are the big Mafia here, Wolfe runs a tight ship, that Montcalm, he allows a bit too much of a free for all for my tastes.

Don't matter so much when you're not the Landed Gentry, but once you is the Landed Gentry, you gonna want Queen Victoria keeping a lid on all that ruckus and staving it off HM lawn.

Montreal may be more of a libertarians paradise than Toronto, but y'know, so is Mogadishu.

Whup, them Chinese certainly are crowing about this...

A Chinese state-run newspaper claimed Monday that the most recent collision of a U.S. Navy destroyer with a merchant ship was an example of the U.S.'s “arrogance” in conducting patrols in and around the South China Sea.

The nationalist Global Times ran an editorial Monday shortly after the USS John S. McCain was hit by an oil tanker east of Singapore in the Strait of Malacca, with 10 sailors reported missing.

While stating that the collision was an example of the U.S. military’s decline and that Chinese society’s “applause” indicated the nation’s feelings toward the U.S. encroaching on its territory, the opinion piece also claimed the U.S. is not trying to avoid such collisions.

“U.S. warships are constantly involved in accidents around the South China Sea,” the op-ed, which is often considered an expression of the Chinese government’s opinion, read. “On the one hand, the U.S. Navy has behaved arrogantly in the Asia-Pacific region. It lacks respect for huge merchant ships and fails to take evasive action in time, thus resulting in serious accidents.”

... dangerous driving Yanquis be runnin' people down up in here. lol.

Based on where the McCain took the hit, looks more like the ol' John S. cut that bitch off.

Well now it's possibly being attributed to a steering failure. Ok, fine.

But c'mon. Someone's gotta be thinking that sounds like a 17 year old with a fresh license trying to explain to dad why the front of the Beemer is all fucked up.

:snicker:

Sometimes it's more like a constant misting that never seems to end, and part of the year it's just ice sheets. They have variation.
