An important story that will get little press.
It’s too bad Argentina didn’t win the Falkland’s War, that way the islands could be a left-wing dump as well.
The ship..via the British embassy must have sent a message requesting diplomatic clearance to the Brazil foreign affairs office. This request must have been denied or there was no response. The ship had to be notified by message prior to arrival to the port that it was denied clearance.
The ship was not turned away at the port.
The US Embassy had to be aware of the message traffic.
That is the butt-ugliest “warship” I’ve ever seen.
Well, that was certainly fast. So Brits ... feel so good about getting rid of the Ark Royal and your Harriers now?
if they weren’t full of horrible leftist welfare cases, I would suggest that we take over all the British Islands off of Florida....
...but like I said...who wants them.
Hmm, there goes the invitation to the royal wedding.
