The Royal Navy left Malta in 1979 for the last time. One week later the Libyan navy moved in and took over all of our assets.

The United States has been informed by most of our NATO “Allies” that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon. I am not surprised by their action, however, because I always considered NATO, where we spend Hundreds of Billions of Dollars per year protecting these same Countries, to be a one way street — We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need. Fortunately, we have decimated Iran’s Military — Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti-Aircraft and Radar is gone and perhaps, most importantly, their Leaders, at virtually every level, are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern Allies, or the World, again! Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer “need,” or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
We really need the 'Wibble' here!Quote:

That reads a lot like someone trying to convince themselves that there is a plan. I think we've gone way past the point where anyone could pretend that there is method in the madness. He's not doing a 'bit' ,we genuinely do have a leader of the free world this incompetent .Quote:

They were old, when the US 'gifted' them to the late Shah's airforce, purely for training and display.
His young son would play with one over the skies of Tehran, of a summers afternoon.
He's a pensioner now, never done a day's work in his life. Spent the last 47 years, living off the money that the Shah stole from the people of Iran.
The Israeli's have had him snogging the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, so he's the Netanyahu/Trump choice to run Iran.
He's got an Ology in debauchery, so he must be qualified.

Greenland's answer to MAGA hats.
The 'Nu het NUUK' slogan on the hats is a play on words, 'Nu het nok' meaning the equivalent of "That's enough" with the town name of Nuuk being substituted for the word 'nok' (enough) i.e. "That's eNUUK", as it were. Well it works as a pun in the local tongue anyway is
It’s Japan’s turn this time.

Trump has criticised Nato members for failing to offer warships to help patrol the strategic waterway. In the social media post, he said:
Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran. Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!

We will remember too, Mr Orange.
Just for clarity, NATO is defined as a “collective defence alliance”.Quote:

Mad what happens when you spend a year dishing out tariffs, insulting your allies, belittling their contribution to your last war and threatening to invade Greenland isn't it. His threats to remember are meaningless because he'd already destroyed any faith that a Trump led US would help Europe in a conflict anywayQuote:
