Iranians down US drone

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!

Sensationalist journalism, now go back to sleep, the world is not as fooked as the papers make out

no no

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



its not an act of war

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
