From what I see, the UK has done nothing during the war to protect the gulf states, despite our long association and the bases we operate there.

Now, I’m a realist. I understand that past governments have hollowed out our military forces and that we are broadly incapable of doing anything meaningful inn gunboat terms.

But the very least that those fools currently in government could do is to move budgets around so that mothballed assets could be brought into use, or something; or commission new destroyers; anything that faces the real threats now in existence, not least Russia.
