    Trump just made a largely non-committal and fact light statement which he used to put the usual boot into Theresa May, also more or less said there is no formal agreement with the UK but that they will talk to them about it.

    If UK takes military action it be laughable if Trump says not my business. It too early- Trump reaction may be different in a few hours time. There no sign military action is imminent though. We have to watch and see.

    Two tankers seized in the one day.

    Could we be looking at the next Gulf War?

    Send in Ofmatthew. She can taken down some of those John Bolton nutters. Bolton captured those ships and Bolton seems to be in control of some Iranians who are disgruntled with Iran's government. These guys are clearly not working for Hassan Rouhani are they? Or even Ali Khamenei? This is all the April 2018 regime and its deviousness. Ofmatthew, now is the time to go to where Bolton is and go insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    No, not very likely.

    Sky News currently interviewing some absolute balloon from the 'Margaret Thatcher Centre for Freedom' (yes really) whose geopolitical brain thinks its 1981.

    So all that military and high tech stuff belonging to the Empire and it's vassal in the gulf and still Iran is able to do what it wants when it wants ha ha

    Doesn't look good for the Imperial navies if a shooting match breaks out...looks like Iran is more than a match for them :cool:

    Bit confused here. You're saying the Iranian navy is a match for the British (or American?) navy because they commandeered an oil tanker?

    The Brits captured an Iranian tanker in Gibraltar. As an act of retaliation the Iranians have captured a British tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. They have also reportedly captured a second tanker.

    Cheers.

    Silly question, why exactly did the Brits capture one of their tankers on Gib? Was it not authorized to be there?

    And likely a 3rd one, this is where you really see the modern world and its constant updates, also what Twitter is actually useful for rather than just SJW's cancelling each other and alt-right trolls

    What in the name of Jaysus are armed Gardaí doing in the Strait of Hormuz?

    Shouldn't they be sorting out the 'rising crime levels' in Dublin before trying to calm down tensions in the Gulf?

    No confusion, the tankers are irrelevant, what Iran has shown is that it can operate under the Empire's nose and do whatever it wishes to do.

    Means the Empire's warships will be in deep sh1t in a conflict.

    Create a fake crisis by paying disgruntled Iranian soldiers more than they would make in a year for a few hours work and hey presto, the 9th April 2018 Bolton regime gets a diversion away from the 'send her back' rallies and its fallout. Sick lot these rulers of the former USA.

    Not at all. If trump goes to war, which his base doesn’t want, then the economy could be smashed. This will stop his election.

    Theresa May has just pissed him off as well.

    He’ll let the brits handle it.

    I believe false flags happen but Iran hasn’t disavowed this. Also it’s not an attack on the US per say.

    If the brits fire 1 bullet then they may aswell fire at the crew of the ships. Nothing will happen untill they are released.

    It's May's last days in office how can she authorise anything.

    Legally speaking is it theft or an act of war?

    He doesn't give a feck about his inbred base there are others who want a war ,but trump has already said he would take action hence the carrier group , other fleet vessels ,along with enough airpower to remove most of Iran's military being moved into the area

    For some reason Iran thinks they can get a better deal out of this ,they will rapidly alienate any support if they don't back down

    Im a bit confused here. A single US carrier strike group could send Iran back to the stone age....theres no military match here whats so ever, and the Iranians know this.

    My bets are the Brits have a Vanguard boomer heading to the region. They'll announce HMS Kent, but thats the PR side. The real strategic stuff will be kept quiet.
