Truth be told, part of me thinks the Russians are watching this situation develop and would love to have a go at the UK even if it was just to humiliate us, they see us politically and militarily weak at the moment, they have sailed ships through our waters and flown fighter jets into our airspace in recent years while laughing, they even encouraged their hooligans to give the English football supporters a good hiding in Marseille several years ago, I fully expect our political oafs to fall straight into the trap !

At the moment?  we have been that way for decades, we talk the talk but unfortunately we cant walk the walk

That’s a fair point.

 

The last three years have made the UK not only look weak, but a laughing stock on the international stage. And if this is some kind of Ruskie trap, of course we will fall into it as that clown Boris will want to be seen as a man of action.

We were a joke before Brexit that's partly why it happened.

Yeah we knew that but the Ruskies were not so sure.

Brexit happened because we were a joke?

 

I thought that Brexit happened because a few very rich businessmen scared Cameron into promising a referendum?

Without turning this into a Brexit thread, the whole political system is awash in this country with out of touch politicians many with their own personal agendas and pet projects.

We started this.  Iran are saving face and have every right to.

 

This could escalate, the Saudis will want it to.

 

We should just apologise and give them their tanker back.

The UK was always highly respected prior to Brexit, this country is now in meltdown because of it.
