Bullshit, Brits are not powerless to stop them and all these snide remarks about our allies is useless.
Especially in light of the "legacy" left us by that continuing national disgrace - Carter - from an even more outrageous act of provocation by the Iraniacs in '79.
Too bad the "proper response" wasn't taken back then; we wouldn't be seeing thesee headlines today...
To declare the Brits powerless against Iran is not a snide remark. It is truth. The Brits lack the capability to take on Iran.
There was no attack blatant attack on the US Navy or the Saudi Navy or the Qatar Navy..... The coward chose the only one of the allies incapable of a military response.
