Also the precise strikes he mentioned killed 5 people apparently, 73 missiles launched and 5 dead, we could teach Israel a thing or two or they could teach us a thing or two :shrug:
The ships maybe slow-moving, but they are still moving and the missiles/drones are launched a long distance away. Food and energy in the form of oil and LNG, also are affected.They narrowly missed an oil tanker.

Post office pardons, trips to Ukraine to fund our military industrial complex some more. Things are looking up for Rishi.
A political choice?

So let’s just keep letting those arse-holes, fire on our ships then, unchecked & unchallenged, goodness me, pathetic. :rolleyes:

Yes, specifically his suggestion:

“So let’s just keep letting those arse-holes, fire on our ships then, unchecked & unchallenged, goodness me, pathetic.”

Nowhere did I suggest taking no action. My cynicism is principally around timing, and being the typical US poodle.

What's Norway or Uzbekistan doing about it all, that's what I want to know.

Norway: providing unspecified support to the international naval patrol. Also protesting vigorously at the targeting of a Norway flagged ship on 12 December.

Uzbekistan: Landlocked, so :shrug:

What you all mean to say is the rest of the world stands by and watches as usual while the UK and USA have to sort everything out while all the other toothless countries shout from the sidelines.

I personally hope the Houthi rebels get a right pasting.
