Given that the UK has very few resources at all, there will be no real anything from them, even if they had the will.

FYI..within the last two days, a thread was posted here that there is NO longer a RN frigate deployed in home waters to protect Great Britain.

I've tried FR search, with no luck..maybe someone else can find it and post the link. Given the topic of this thread, it fits somewhat...

I thought at first they meant the University of Kentucky...but since they said “royal” I guess it’s the Brits.

Well, when I lived in Israel, Debka was a hell of a lot more accurate than the MSM

Did we ever find the hordes of Chinese troops that DUMBKA said were pouring into Afghanistan in 2001?

The hordes of muzzies in the UK are already insane, our British cousins just don’t realize it in sufficient numbers...yet.

Not really. The jihad is driven by Sunnis (mostly in Saudi Arabia), while Iran is shi’ite. The two groups are natural enemies.

Ain’t gonna happen, but if it ever did, it would be another example of Obama carrying out a Bush policy - Preeemption.

I didn’t visit Afghanistan. Never saw a single Chinese troop anywhere. Did see the IDF troops shift to the Jordanian border during the invasion of Sadam’s commando troops.

Also saw the troop helo’s fly over Jerusalem toward Jordan while people back home laughed at the idea of Jews fighting to save the Jordanian Kings rear in Jordan.

Debka is a rumor mill, just like the MSM, but that does not make them a news agency. A distinction that many miss. They report on what the intelegence community is chattering about. Far more accurately than any MSM leftist rag in America. So give them a break, or better yet, open your own intellegence rag with your connections and do a better job than them.

Easy to point the finger or give them the finger, but to do a better job than them is a bit more difficult. Debka is some of the good guys.

A prez who would kill 2 badged US agents and 3,000 Mexicans to repeal the 2nd Amendment:

Would starting a war around election time be something he would refuse to do, on moral grounds?

No.

I believe this report.

“Destroying Iran as a axis of evil and returning it to is peace loving new generation would break the back of the entire terrorists jihad.”

With an oil-rich Libya falling into the islamist orbit and Egypt sliding in that direction, there are others who will fill the role of terror sponsor.

Prince Charles recently went to Saudi for the funeral of whatever Saudi prince that died a week or so back. What better cover for some negotiations?

Europe is within easy range of Iran and it would be prudent for them to ensure that a missile is neither launched nor threatened.

The proper way to handle that is through quiet diplomacy through diplomatic channels, not through the media.
