    Agreed. That’s why Labour lost 
    I completely agree.  I can't think of any other reason this shower of shit are hanging on to power.

    ...and quite clearly Trumps intention is to provoke Iran into making a move that he can use to justify further military intervention in the middle east, and they will bite because their government are lunatics and we will back him because we will be entirely dependent on the US after we leave Europe.
    Clears throat:
    To be fair to Trump, he is arguably the only thing keep us from attacking Iran at the moment. It's not him who actually wants a war with Iran. The problem is, John Bolton has been dreaming about war with Iran since before I was born, and Mike Pompeo also believe in that NeoCon clash of civilizations shit. And they seem to have free range at the moment. 

    I do not think the American people would support a war with Iran. The problem is, you do not need the support or the American people or even Congress to start a war with Iran.
    Looks more like it's Iran trying to start a confrontation to me, as always.

    Quite an ironic name for a country that is being Confrontational. 
  • We've had great success in the past working with the US in the Middle East and that's helped to make it such a stable region. 

    Trump probably thinks Iran is in Europe.

    Maybe a team effort if she brought in Katrien?
  • It’s okay, Jeremy Hunt is extremely disappointed with Iran , he’s also the first entrepreneur to run for P M and he ran the N H S , that will scare them.

  • Jeremy Hunt is not an entrepreneur. He was given a monopoly buying contract by his Aunt Virginia Bottomley, who was a cabinet minister. He had no experience in the area, and it didn't go to competitive tender. The only person that thinks Jeremy Hunt is an entrepreneur is Jeremy Hunt.

    I know exactly what Jeremy Hunt is and it doesn’t rhyme with entrepreneur.

    The UK and the USA has a history of disastrous foreign policy in the Middle East - fortunately the idiots in charge never learn.

    If military power and no strategy is all you have got then inevitably it ends in disaster. Iraq and Libya were a great success.... 

    We intervene, destabilise the region further and then can't cope with the consequences.

    I’d send in special forces to secure the ships then get a crew on board and once our bomb the shit out of the Harbour they were in 
  • Of the SAS are worth what we spend on them, they should be planning an extraction of the poor woman handcuffed to her bed in hospital.

    The US and the UK have never given a stuff about civilian casualties in the Middle East - won't change now.

    Not strictly true, we couldn't sell anti-personnel mines and cluster bombs otherwise.

    We took the Iranian tanker as it was going to supply oil to Syria banned under EU sanctions--------- nice to see our good European mates now backing us up.

    Give them their tanker back ,fuc k the EU sanctions.Let the navy's  of Cyprus,Eire,Belguim,Holland, etc enforce the sanctions.

    Never happy with it but this is an act of aggression against our flag what ever the consequences are for the country that caused it then so be it

    Easy. Send a couple of carriers into the Straits. Any ships that hassle ships in international waters get fired on And nothing beyond that. Don’t attack Iran. No civilian deaths, just to aggressors breaking international law in international waters.

    Let’s try and talk away around the problem shall we. I really can’t understand why anyone would think at this point military action is even an option.

    24 hours. That’s irrelevant.

    EU haven’t given any statements in support. BA cancel flights to Cairo for 7 days presumably based on intel received. No other EU airlines have done so, presumably because we haven’t shared intel?

    Don’t help us, we don’t help you?
