Iran seizes British tanker

Wow you really that uninformed?

Read and learn about how we were fucked over by the “special relationship”.

Why did I know you were going to pick on the transfer of 50 obsolescent destroyers to the Royal Navy for lease of bases, it was symbolic what were they going to do give us brand new ones, I feel it's you who are a tad ill informed do you think Britain and Russia would have survived against Germany without American aid.
 
On and off it was about 800 years if I'm not mistaken.
Nope, you spent most of them on top east of the Shannon. Some of them on top everywhere. You lasted 5 years when the yanks put us on a better footing weapons wise, as you'd been for so long.

So your mates fucked us over with obsolete WW1 ships destined for the scrapyard when we were desperate for help.
Churchill asked for them as gifts.
Yanks said fuck off.

They're not my mates, there again I don't let bigotry over ride the facts either to keep going on about 50 obsolete destroyers that Roosevelt used as a symbolic gesture while ignoring the amount of lend lease assistance Britain and its allies received is laughable.
 
I will go straight to point 4. France, Spain and Portugal are all free countries and yet they don't get involved in playing 'big boy'. None of them had any real involvement in Iraq, Kuwait, Syria and every other conflict we have managed to pretend we are doing some good whilst beating our chests like Tarzan. If Iran does go on to be fully nuclear who are they going to threaten ? none of the 3 I have just mentioned but I bet we are first on the list as we are seen as the aggressors and Trumps puppets.. If they threaten Israel who is going to leap up and defend them, again not the three I have mentioned.
My point is, we seized the tanker as it was breaking EU sanctions, where were the other countries when this was going on ? where was the vocal support after ? The Spanish government sat there moaning about Gibraltar being theirs, so much for unity.

Disputed. Iceland claimed it long before the UK did.
