Well, that was a bit snarky. But for someone like me who’s addicted to British naval history perhaps understandable? Last week, the Brits saying they’ll shoot down Russian jets (who are attacking sunni terrorists) over Syria. This week, Brit media sniggering at a smoky exhaust on a Russian aircraft carrier - when they can’t project naval power, east of the Thames. And if they could, it would be on the enemy’s side. I invite you to reflect on what a Jellicoe, Collingwood or Lord Barham would have thought of this sorry nadir for the Royal Navy.
