Why should our blood boil for these British faggots? Their MI6 conspired with Brennan to take down Trump. Their ambassador smeared our president in official cables. They’ve let the Muslims take over their nation. Screw them all. We shouldn’t lift a finger to help them if they are too womanly to do a damn thing.

On what grounds did they seize it? Did they claim they were in Iranian waters or something?

Nope, just to prove they could after the Gibralter ship was seized.

Be watching for the tanker to be put on ebay or craigslist soon. At least the Brits can buy it back from them as long as they send obama size pallets of cash.

The UK is apparently an easy target for such an act of piracy. If the British Parliament cannot be stirred into action, then there is little hope of Great Britain ever hoping to be an intermediary in any negotiations with Iran.

“Peace for our time” was a declaration made by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Neville Chamberlain in his 30 September 1938 speech concerning the Munich Agreement and the Anglo-German Declaration.

That went well.

Yes. The woman who is their Minister of Defense said that the primary thing to do right now is for Britain to de-escalate the tensions with Iran.

Unbelievable.

The SAS is completely powerless to do anything without orders from their government. Like concealed carry without the will or spine to actually shoot an attacker, it will do no good without the sack to actually use it.

The Brits are done.

USS Pueblo incident, Part Two?

Let’s hope that Her Majesty handles this version better than LBJ did.

(Maybe form a “coalition of the willing” to go after Iran mullahs?)

If it bothers you that much go pull a Ben Afflicted from Pearl Harbor and join the British military?

NO AMERICAN SHOULD DIE BECAUSE OF GREAT BRITAIN.

If this doesn’t boil the blood of every REAL American, something is wrong with US !!!!

The Ship turned off its transponder, collided with a fishing boat, failed to heed the fishing vessels distress call- Acts in contravention of maritime law, and posing a risk to other ships traversing SoH shipping lanes

Iran atates it acted responsibly to ensure the safety of other ships in the SoH.

There not really too much, if anything, the Brits can do. Applying economic sanction like seizing any money belonging to Iran or Iranians currently held in England would be an excellent means of persuasion.
