Appeasement doesn’t work. I’m only in it for the violence. Interested in naval matters and history. Pax Britannica was vastly underrated.

@mrhambleden @tomhfh @thepublicgets @5Pillarsuk And the occasional flogging.

Can someone clarify? Found guilty of sexual assault, via drugging a young sailor. His DNA found in the sailor’s underwear. Court Martial then accepts he didn’t assault him (in the article). Only facing six months inside for it? What on Earth?!

@COMUKCSG @NATO @RoyalNavy @HMSPWLS One of the jets appears to be upside down on the deck. Someone definitely did that deliberately 😂

@EnglishLehrer @OfficerofEngin1 Zzzzz. Funny thing, there probably wasn’t much intelligence that a CBRN attack was expected in London that day. It takes 5 minutes to shave off, and that is done before operating in any potential CBRN environment.

@UKArmaments @DefenceHQ Imagine if you’d just said “enabling our military to operate, deter, fight and win.”

It would have made sense, without sounding like you’ve been slurping the US Kool-Aid on the ‘warfighter’ terminology 🤦‍♂️

Watch the Conservative Party either not run, or run but not compete, in Makerfield. Tory vote goes to Reform, with Tory HQ assuming Reform will implode before a General Election. Burnham fails to win election, causing further Labour crisis. This is Tory fantasy territory!

@mod_dio @HMS_Raleigh @AECOM @ObedairUK @VIVODefence Can you actually say when the last RN/RM boarding of a bridged merchant ship was, for the interception of drug traffickers? Because it certainly isn’t regular, and nor do merchant ships have a civilian-building ladder up their superstructure… a bridge ladder is steeper.

@larisamlbrown @thetimes Navy P&T putting in the hard yards to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic…

This is what low-functioning mental deficiencies look like. Unbelievable.

Moving the US military out of west European bases will be costly, slow and complicated. These bases are large and sophisticated. Wherever we move to has to be equally sophisticated and secure.

A good place to start is moving from Spain to Morocco, where the US used to have a SAC base. Morocco has several modern facilities, including our former bases.

Morocco is already a designated non-NATO major ally (so is Bahrain), is a member of the Abraham Accords, and is pro-western. They’re also a tolerant and beautiful country.

The US has options. If Spain, France and Italy won’t help us, we can find better places to go.

@SMACT72 Same but different. Losharik and Palts are relatively game-changing, if employed aggressively.

@AlexLucic2 I agree on the grey zone tactics (clandestine or covert), there are better ways than seizing ships. One or two for appearance’s sake is manageable, but look at this link for an example of the financial constraints associated: https://t.co/LCdJxisjVA.

[ConflictHub @ConflictHub]

@AlexLucic2 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Okay, good luck with that insane plan.

[ConflictHub @ConflictHub]

@AlexLucic2 Who is paying? What is happening to the ship? Sold off? Tied up for a year? Do you know how many shadow fleet vessels are currently sailing? You only want to seize one, or all of them?

[ConflictHub @ConflictHub]

@AlexLucic2 @thinkdefence That’s not how it works… You can’t seize the vessel in UK waters and then ask another country to arrest it and impound it.

[ConflictHub @ConflictHub]

@AlexLucic2 @thinkdefence To do what? What are we going to do with the cargo, and ships? Which ports are free for 200m+ long vessels to dock in? Who is paying the harbour fees? You haven’t thought this through.

[ConflictHub @ConflictHub]

@jeromestarkey Interesting indeed. I wonder whether an analysis of P8 ADSB tracks would give a general indication as to the location of the submarines, and thus an indication of which cable or pipeline may have been of interest.

[ConflictHub @ConflictHub]

@Schizointel To what end? What do you want done with those tankers? Should we send you the bill for port costs?

[ConflictHub @ConflictHub]

@andywigmore Andy, what legitimacy does the defensive alliance of NATO have in a voluntary American war of aggression? It would legitimise all of Russia and China’s propaganda, and fears.
