Here we are, more than a week into the war against Iran, and the United Kingdom is still unable to deploy a single Naval ship into the Mediterranean Sea to protect its interests on the Island of Cyprus.
Buried within this farce is the revelation that, today and for some time prior, the Royal Navy had zero ships in the Mediterranean. If I were Spain, I would just overrun Gibraltar and let the chips fall where they may.
From the U.K. Independent,
‘We should have seen this coming’: Why a Royal Navy ship still hasn’t reached Cyprus after Iran strike.
I can’t stop laughing over the fact that the delay is due, in part, to unionized contractors refusing to work nights and weekends. Because wars are only fought during regular business hours. Everyone know this.
Google tells me that the Royal Navy is down to just 63 ships, yet employs more than 100 admirals at the rank of one-star and above.
England expects that every man will do his duty.
Well, not anymore.
