“” “” Look at BBC news, NOTHING. Look at Mail Online! Topping news is Weiner Boy moving back in with Huma. Yes, seriously.”” “”

‘The Russians’ are about to poison another spy for everyone to talk about for the next six months.

“” “” 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.”” “”

It would. The only reason why UK is not a complete trailer park right now is because it hosts plenty of corrupt money from criminals and dictatators from around the world in its real estate and banking system.
Set the precedent and go after the money. Said gentlemen need food for thoughts.

North Korea took our ship USS Pueblo and they still have the old tub. Kept our sailors for months of abuse. Israel sank one of our ships and they are an alley. Terrorists trued to sink a ship in Yemen and blew a hole in her killing 17 sailors—what did Clinton Do? ZIP. US has played the fool before and may well again.

I don’t see how it is relevant though. No US ships involved this time.
Don’t let the tail wag the dog.

With what? The Type 45s can’t operate anywhere near there (heat problems) and a bit less than half of all the Type 23s the RN has were already in the area and we saw what good that did.

Pompeo pretty much told them to grow a pair and take care of their own..while telling the world it has it’s own responsibilities to enforce international law...

IU imagine the British will draft a really really strong complaint with the UN and then go whimpering back to Londistan
