We may no longer be Kings of the high seas, but one of our modern aircraft carriers would easily be able to send Iran back to the stone ages. It may only be an urban myth but apparently the Germans, when re-militarising the Rhineland in 1936, marched in bearing wooden rifles.

While it's important that we protect our oil interests in the region the less we have to do with the middle east the better. Let the US flex its military budget if it wants to....Our navy is definitely powerful but our politicians have been downgrading our forces for decades. I fully agree with the 'enemy within' commentary and the stupidity of enabling and appeasing it.....but this 'enemy within' extends beyond what's happening with that community anyway......weasels have been chipping away at this country for decades.

It's really only the Strait of Hormuz that needs patrolling, the rest of the Gulf can be navigated without going near Iran. Surely the UAE and Saudi who make sh** loads out of oil should be patrolling the straits or at least financing this.

Any other Asian country who may suffer should send ships to assist. Why only us? Where are the EU when you need them?

We should do a deal with the Iranians. They give us our ship back and we hand them back Omid Djalili.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |
