Is the UK small enough that large busts like this are actually felt by the end user? I always used to see articles of huge drug busts in America when I survived off cocain, cigarettes and unlimited ambition but never saw any actual bottlenecks or shortages resulting from them. US has 300-400 million people who could be a drug dealer. When you compare that to the UK's potential drug dealer pool of less than 75 million people, do the UK end user drug users feel the affects of big busts?

Edit: I also would like to know from any Janet Reno party enthusiasts from the UK, is cocaine the pinnacle of sought after drugs? It seems like it would be the hardest to procure logistically. Unless, do they grow and produce coke in Africa? Serious question, I've only ever heard of sources from Central/South America. Opium based drugs you guys get comes from middle east and Asia, right? You guys would have similar obstacles as any 1st world country for manufactured drugs like e, molly, meth, fentanyl, right? Ill get accross the pond to visit someday, its always been on my bucket list but I used to say id never take a vacation there because id never come back so its always been a big desire that was too big to take on. So I apologize for the ignorance.

Logistic liability is determined in most purchasing agreements. Liability of the seller for international shipments usually ends at pickup. The buyer is usually liable for arranging how its picked up and how it is shipped. This is anecdotal to my experiences in the manufacturing industry but I've never seen at any company I was with a scenario where the company who picked up our scrap would have an arrangement where we (the manufacturing company) would be liable for what happens to out scrap after it was picked up.

>Woman: *fears for her life and the police do nothing so she disappears for 60 years*

Cops: "Women can be so flighty!"

How to tell people you were born after 2000 without telling them you were born after 2000.

What do you expect the cops could even do in the 60's to help the woman? Press charges or arrest the husband? Oh wait the first comprehensive domestic abuse laws weren't even made until the 1970's.

Ok well I assume you would then want the cops to take her to a battered women clinic? Oh wait that wasn't a thing either at that time either!

Have the cops advise her to get a divorce? Ha, only gays, *removed* and hobos didn't marry for life back then.

Cops wouldn't have even investigated the abuse part of the complaint, they wouldve investigated the threats of murder that were made but its not like they could obtain any physical evidence like text message transcripts or emails or phone logs. They wouldve gone to the house, asked the hisband if he threatened to kill his wife and he would say no and that would be the end of it.

I apologize if im off in my assumption you are under 25y/o but the context of your comment jumping to the cop's incompetence throws enough flags to assume you didn't experience much of what the world was like before the internet.

The real take away from this article should be the absolute balls on this woman for taking action into her own hands and never turning back. I respect the fuck out of this woman.

Lol idk why buy this reminded me of the Shorsie episode when he has too many concussions that he has to stop playing because when has to shit if he tries to push he blacks out🤣

Would you spend trillions of dollars building something that was "unlikely" to result in catastrophic failure? I would prolly want more confidence of its longevity before dumping generations of wealth to build a structure that will cost billions more even to repair minor maintenance to.

.I feel like this article is trying too hard to paint the US military as being a monster that its made it too confusing to follow. There are so many easier stories to use to accomplish this that I don't understand what this article is even trying to report.

My questions after reading are:

I don't understand what is being done for the first time since 1974, is it Japan and US jointly investigating charges against a US military member or is it the first time they're doing a sort of audit of criminal charges?

If Japan has numbers for criminal charges against US military personnel are they the ones enforcing the charges?

Did the 2 rape investigations go uninvestigated until the change that happened days ago and why wouldnt Japan investigate their own people being raped?

If the US was brick walling Japan from investigating criminal charges of US personell then why all of a sudden allow this extended investigation by Japan?

I honestly don't know how the moon's physics work but it does appear to be covered in giant fuckin craters. So I was assuming there isn't much to stop something from smashing into the nuclear power plant once constructed and causing potential fallout risks.

For fucking what? Lol

Hey, let build an insanely expensive energy plant to build on earth that takes decades to construct and build it on the furthest land mass humans have ever traveled to. Oh and the land mass is like always exposed to direct sunlight, but fuck solar panels. Double oh oh AND the land mass has like zero protection from any fucking flying outerspace debris that could destroy it all.

“How can I return him to the United States?” Bukele asked Monday during a meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. “I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it."

It's good to know the people running the world have no fucking clue how the world runs.

Why leave your opinion for your own post when you never even read the first paragraph or highlight points that precede the article. That once again, you fucking posted??? Commend you for not deleting it after comments from users who read it called you out but doesn't that just make you feel like an even bigger dolt?

China out here condemning errbody today. Looks at Canada: "CONDEMN YOU!" Looks at USA: "I CONDEMN YOU!" Looks at Myanmar: "I CONDEMN YOU!"

So edgy 🤣

I totally meant 250 billion. No clue why I wrote it like that. My bad.

And to add to this point for everyone saying how high the number is, that's how all geopolitical negotiations work. Trumpnjust doesn't shut his mouth so we're hearing the initial ridiculously higher proposal. I'd be willing to bet if this goes through the actual number is guna be closer to 2-2.5 billion. Half of the initial proposal. Not because Trump is fuckin savy but because that's how this shit usually works.

Ukraine is getting the military support to hold its own. Plus a country's ability to hold and repay debt is what the global economy runs on so having good credit with US will likely help them in the long run.

Yeah but like half the size of NC isn't it?

Jesus christ I didn't think there were 10,000 people living in DR. It's not that much area.
