I’ve genuinely no idea, I couldn’t believe it when I came across this post yesterday. In 2000 I did a few months on HMS ocean, the newest ship in the fleet and what was meant to be the pride of the navy. It was a fkin disgrace, constantly in for repairs. I think the navy got 20 years out of it. 
 

 

That makes grim reading. Disgraceful.

As an aside, our F35's have seen their first operational "kills" today protecting our allies in the middle east.

Fake News. Starmer has told them they're not allowed to get involved.

Get National Service back from 14. TMJ can run it free of charge. 

We should be fighting at least a war a year.

Who cares if those orchestrating it are committing ethnic cleansing, or run by a total mad man. Fuck it join in, we still need to show a backbone. 

Rule Britannia 

I reckon TMGJ has a flag business to wrap the coffins in at Brize Norton

They've got enough money to sort themselves out.

Aye. And I don’t remember any of them going balls deep with the Falklands. 
 

In fact the Israelis were selling the Argies weapons during the conflict. So we owe them sweet fuck all.

It's that little glance up he does when he says "they insist on being placed at the captain's table" that gets me 🤣

It’s got 3 bedrooms, mood lighting, a wine fridge, a chaise long and an ice machine.

this is purely straight guys, topless, firing high end ordnance at brown people.

US sub stationed at Diego Garcia sunk an Iranian ship off Sri Lanka? 

seems so, apparently Iran also chucking stuff at Turkey now as well...

 

I'd expect stuff to start getting quite tasty in the Strait of Hormuz now as well, as Iran have threatened to have a pop at anything that attempts to sail it

Pete Hegseth will be at the Hague by the end of the decade.

I don't know if he will or if he won't, but the guy does seem to be absolutely bonkers. He does seem to be enjoying himself though

A thick, (ex?)alcoholic, Christian Nationalist. What a combination, and what a choice for Secretary of War 🙄.

" Get the QE2 on the blower and see if we can jump start it??".

Theoretically - this means they could involve article 5 doesn't it?

My AI reckons it was almost certainly a missile that was deflected or went of course and is massively unlikely to have been aimed at Turkey deliberately (which would seem like a terrible move). And also explains why Turkey dealt with it independently and haven't called a NATO meeting. 

Thank god at least someone seems to have kept a cool head. For now at least.

Never thought I'd see the day I agree with Tucker Carlson. If adapted to the UK of course.

The far bigger threats to the UK and our way of life than Iran.

Yeah - a first for me too I must admit! But very well articulated.

Absolutely. Must admit, I thought a few months ago all MAGA folk were complete loons. I’ve changed my mind when you hear folk such as MTG and now ol’ Tucker actually speaking half-sense wrt Trumpy’s foreign policy.

Let’s just hope the world doesn’t burn before the mid-terns when hopefully some checks and balances can be restored in the US Senate & House.

Yeah I had him down as a sycophant/mouthpiece for MAGA to be fair. Interesting to see his take on this......

Fell out with MAGA on Israel and the Epstein files as well.

Did he? Well at least he's consistent so he's gone up a bit in my estimation. It's people who change their mind depending on who is doing or saying something that wind me up. 

People shouldn't be so ready to abandon their principles in favour of belonging to a "camp"

Loads of the MAGA lot are furious now about the Epstein debacle and being huge America first disciples they thought there would be no more wars costing billions.

What they have found is wildly unpredictable tariffs are harming businesses, Epstein is still a cover-up and Trump has not been the president of peace they thought he would be.

Who'd have thunk'it!?
