Yes, over the Dallas Compound, but not because of errant Iranian drones or rogue F 4 strikes. No, because it seems right to grill up some chicken on this beautiful springlike day. In related news, the UK's airbase in Cyprus was hit by drones or missiles, maybe via Hezbollah, and guess what? It didn't have any air defense.
Well go figure. You'll also be amazed to know there aren't any Royal Navy ships stationed off Cyprus or anywhere else much, so the kindly Greeks have stepped in and sent a frigate and a couple of F 16s, or something like that, to defend Crown interests against the missile armed savages. You can imagine, dear readers, Lord Palmerston going apoplectic with rage at such a dismal state of affairs.
Terrifying prospect, but in the meanwhile, we most definitely seem to be at war, UK assistance notwithstanding. What's your take on it? I'd say, for what little it's worth, that it's a good thing to take out the Ayatollahs and free the Persians. Can we do it without causing yet more chaos and nation wrecking in the Middle East? Precedent argues we won't, but maybe we'll buck the trend. For that matter, do we have enough munitions and their resupply to conduct a protracted war?
If not, this whole thing's a great gamble. To put it another way, will Iran fold like a paper monkey. Or not. Not being a betting man, I'm keeping my fighting monkey safely out of the ring to wager on a safer bet. You may feel otherwise, your call.
And almost forgot! Let's have Constantinople back while we're at it. You'll note the Iranians haven't attacked Turkey, a NATO member, even as they attack the UK, also a NATO member.

LSP: This war is bigger than the Media is portraying it. If we look at a map and who's aligning with whom; this could be pivotal for the future of Civilization. If Iran falls, the Globalists will have control over the entire Middle East and the corridors will be thrown open for their planned moves against Russia and China.
ReplyDeleteWhatever we might think of these Governments, they are problematic for the regions they occupy; but if the Globalists succeed we're going to find ourselves---and eventually the world---under the thumb of the architects of the Great Reset. All of these degenerate Gulf State monarchies; Starmer and King Chuck; our own Beltway Oligarchs; and the Zionists are fighting for a One-World Regime run by people just like them. Like it or not, Iran has to stop them. Granted Americans, Brits, and others should have stopped them at home before it got to this point, but we didn't; so now it's up to the Moslems.
