Have the Brits even ASKED us for help with this Tanker Situation?

Here’s my thoughts on Iran and their Tanker situation . . .
I’m curious whether after 3 years of Trump Balloons in a Diaper and other nonsense, like using their intelligence services to spy on American citizens whether the Brits will even have the audacity to ask us for a favor.
The Brits are our oldest and closest ally. You should help a friend when he asks.
But these are their boats, and their appeasement of these nut jobs that led to the Iranians (presumably aided and funded by Putin) fricking with the Brits and not Americans in the first place.
And assistance isn’t running the show. If I’m Trump, I’d be willing to help them formulate a strategy, and continue sanctions, but if military force is an option, it’s their bombs, their planes and their operation and their arse on the line.
We can be on their side at the UN, since these damn globalists think we need it anyway.
And furthermore - where the frick is the EU????? Those bureaucrats (and the Brits who inexplicably decided to vote to remain a part of that soulsucking organization) have continually foisted antiwestern policies on the U.K. and informed them that they are better off in that pussified alliance. Let the Frogs and the Germans send xtra troops and bombs if they think their union is so important, and these suicidal immigration policies are worth it.

I’m not even sure the Brits are open for business until Malingering May leaves.

Good questions. Also, isnt Britain still a party to the Iran nuclear deal? If so what happens there??

I am a bit confused and conflicted. England is the freaking home base of the Kabal right! That is a country run by devil worshiping, Epstein loving, pedos!
Trump is trying to fix our kabal ties. Is anything/anyone fixing England. Not that I am aware of. Thoughts?

Exactly. I was thinking the same thing. I thought this ironclad idiocy negotiated by Barry the Benvolent and Lurch and His Royal Smugness Ben Rhodes was supposed to make this sort of thing impossible. I mean my words. The Iranians HAVE agreed to refrain from antagonizing the Brits. They wouldn’t lie or anything.
My God Barack Obama was the absolute worst President in American History.

Is this the same as saying Israel should sort things out themselves? However I would favor protecting Israel before UK

No. It’s not the same. I want to simply want to see the Brits ask us before we do shite, and tell us specifically what they want our parameters of involvement to be. We get to decide whether it’s something we can or should do. It’s not our fricking problem. We have our own oil, and these aren’t our tankers.
Frankly, I see no other options for us at this point but economic pressure and moral support of the Brits at these stupid, meaningless gloabalist institutions that Democrats, GOPe and Europeans are so fired up about. Trump organizing a straight up embargo of those lunatics by all western nations, along with our allies in the ME is the most involvement I want to see us have.
The Brits and other Euro nations tend to criticize the US as a Bully, and Trump as some kind of war monger. My response to that is- ok globalists: what’s your idea?? Have at it. You have my blessing. Go with God.
We are allies but they are their own nation. THEY decide what’s best for their country. And THEY own this. They decide, and they take the heat for whatever the decision is.

I understand the refrain of, “Let the Brits handle this.”
And I don’t disagree.
But we’re already involved.
No way will the US/Trump sit back and watch those animals seize ships.
Buckle your seatbelts.

They’re not our oldest ally. France is. Their navy helped us defeat the Brits in the Revolutionary war.
And how many times do we have to keep helping them? They’ve had one of the most powerful navies in the world for hundreds of years. They can handle it, but the question is will they?

frick that "oldest and closest ally" bullshite. Brits were authoritarian back then , when we fought for independence. They are still a somewhat authoritarian country.. they use their government to arrest wrongthinkers. They don't allow the criticism of their public officials. They different rules for different classes.
They tried to crush our country...then we help those bitches out during world wars. Then they join the European union and try to bring forth a new Soviet union.
They don't deserve our help. Let Germany help them.

You can bet your arse that Margaret Thatcher would deal with this shite swiftly and severely.
Posted on 7/19/19 at 7:12 pm to Wednesday
This is how the Iron Lady would have dealt with this bullshite.
Posted on 7/19/19 at 7:29 pm to Wednesday
Meh. I have no desire to get involved in this bullshite but England has kinda come to our side for our bullshite wars. We may as well show up for theirs.
Besides, I don’t think they’re capable of taking on Iran by themselves.

With every post you, more & more, become my "sister from another mister"!
I find myself being anti-war unless there is a direct attack on the US. I'm torn though cause my hubby says we need to be present throughout the world and that the whole reason WWII happened was b/c we stayed out so long.

Not to be contrary, but France is. They sided with us and gave aid during the Revolution.
But you make a good point.
