Oh, this will force the hand. I wonder whether it’s real.

I am very interested to hear the op thoughts. I first got a z3 and felt it was a huge upgrade. I now also have a z5. But, the sleeper is the Kahles 1-5 I have. I believe it’s a subsidiary of Swarovski and a cheaper way to get that quality.

Perhaps the Iranian goodwill outreach to their neighbours will inspire some to pop over for a visit with ground troops? If so, that could also complicate getting the Persians back out from under the Arab control?

And with the Prince.

This time, I am taking two rifles: my 400 for Cape Buffalo, and my 308 Norma Mag for any plains game that we can hunt after the buff is down. I last took this rifle on a plains game hunt in 2022 https://www.africahunting.com/threads/south-africa-back-to-kmg-hunting-safaris.69449/ I wanted to...

I guess a staged defence keeps the tariffs in play longer as well

Is there a reason why the government didn’t just rely on the alternative authority for the tariff in the first place? My experience with challenging government has always involved multiple justifications to the same result.
