    A bit sick of all the non transpiring doom tbh

    The euro is doomed!
    America is doomed!
    Double dip reession looms!
    World on the brink of WW3!

    Then we all trudge into work as nothing actually happened

    Sensationalist journalism, now go back to sleep, the world is not as fooked as the papers make out
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

      no no

      oh no.

      a 'casus belli' is an excuse for war.
      or a justification for war



      its not an act of war

        Quite right EO. Like shooting Arch Dukes for example.

            War is very close:

            i) US election closing in
            ii) global financial meltdown

            1984

            Batten down the hatches.

              I've been rewatching The West Wing lately, apparently they can blow up a drone from the other side of the world anyway.

                Yanks say computer sabotage coming from another country can constitute an act of war

                <gulp>

                  Mr picky...

                  I seem to recall in the distant past reading a list of actions that would and could be treated an "Act of War"
                  The mining of a harbour springs to mind but me & Mr Google cannot find a definitive list anywhere
