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.
There are iranian defenders on the thread, can everyone spot them.....?
They are not really powerless to do anything. They have enough air and naval assets to put a stop to this piracy. Having met many former British soldiers there is nothing pansey about them they would be willing to make an example out of these sheet heads.
The problem lies on the floors of Parliment as ours does in the floors of the House and Senate.
