I watch with despair as Trump tears up the Iran Nuclear Agreement.
However I wonder whether this is the same as trying to hold back
technology in gliding competition: no flight computer, no GPS, no
moving map, no Flarm display, no online weather, no nuclear bombs?

It is probably inevitable that belligerent regimes (including the US and
GB) will get these weapons and possibly use them.

That is an Evel Knievel Snake River Canyon grade leap of logic to try to inject politics into our glider safety debate.

Alas, Evel didn't make it, either.

Let this thread die. If you want to throw your ass off Beachy Head, knock yourself out. I personally would not be presumptuous enough to comment on the comedy in a foreign country unless I was actually paying taxes there, and thus have an actual right to bitch. MYOB, ******.

Personally, I cheered, but what does that have to do with soaring?

Personally, to cheer such utter stupidity says a lot about you. Personally.
Trumo is ruining the US reputation world wide.
Making the US grate again.

Americans don't care what your ****ant country thinks of us. Will your European Islamic Caliphate allow soaring?

Unfortunately - decisions that Trump makes do not just affect the US - but have a ripple effect on the rest of the world too. Just simple things like the sharp increase in oil price following his Iran announcement means my fuel price will go up next month - and I live in South Africa which has nothing to do with the spat with Iran.

All this thread is going to do is raise blood pressures.Â* Why not take
it to some political rant site and get back to soaring?
