At around 5pm on Thursday, two people, a woman and a 34-year-old Iranian man, were arrested after attempting to enter HMNB Clyde in Faslane. Dumb and dumber... "they did not try to force their way into the base. They asked if they could enter but were refused permission and were then arrested shortly afterwards" dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

@TheAngry53586 @RandomRambler15 But yesterday they said continuing with Ajax just because it’s built in a Labour constituency was ‘playing politics’.

English

The Angry Gunner@TheAngry53586·15h

Well obviously this is an option because politicians want your votes, and that means more spending on public services at home, education, welfare etc etc. so you shouldn’t be surprised/1

Reports from @larisamlbrown that Labour may cut the Navy are deeply worrying - not only for blindingly obvious military reasons, but also because naval shipbuilding supports 1,000s of skilled jobs in Scotland and, as I discovered as Minister, lots of brilliant apprenticeships👇

@EricLDaugh He’s re-writing history. He didn’t ask other NATO countries to join in. He didn’t even tell them he was going to attack Iran.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump just NUKED FROM ORBIT NATO allies who want a free ride "So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!" 🔥 "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." Trump always remembers.

@gregbagwell I think there is still a desperate hope that the war in Ukraine, and now Iran, will end, and everything goes back to dancing unicorns & rainbows. Don’t commit the money to defence when there is a 0.00000001% we won’t need to & it can go to the benefits budget instead.

@IntercityFC Errrr. Not true. I’ve done FOST and no matter what weapon you took inboard it started a carbonaceous fire in the Aircrew Refreshment Bar! 😉 Which was usually locked as the supply dept didn’t consider feeding aircrew to be a worthwhile activity. 😀

@FennellJW MOD said last year Type 45 out of service date is 2038. As you say, particularly Daring has hardly been used. A land attack weapon is needed for them too.

JamesFennell MBE@FennellJW·18h

Realistically, Type 45 have had little use and are being heavily upgraded and Type 83 can move to the right a few years to enable more urgent programmes to be funded first.

This is where Kharg Island is. An operation to take it would involve transit of Straits of Hormuz & then a journey the length of the Persian Gulf. All whilst in range of Iranian missile batteries, Shaheeds, USV’s etc. Does US know if approaches to Kharg have been mined?

@FennellJW @SimonMDLord It begs the question is Iran having got the bomb a better outcome then what we face now?

The truth is Iran is in the box seat now, able to wreak havoc with the gulf economy seemingly at will. Needs a concerted effort now to bring this nonsense to an end and reopen the Straits of Hormuz.

America launched a war on Iran, the war continues, and yet the US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent has said: “in the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that’s on the water.” According to Bloomberg, Bessent told Fox Business that Iran has about 140 million barrels afloat and “depending on how you count it, that’s 10 days to two weeks of supply.” So Trump won’t negotiate with Iran to end the war but he will allow them to sell their oil. Extraordinary, even by recent Washington metrics
