Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

@Ali_Baba hahahha you can't make this up

Analysis: HMS Dragon delay is embarrassing and will turn into big political issue
The delay in deploying HMS Dragon "doesn't look good" and is embarrassing, military analyst Michael Clarke says.

It's not so serious militarily, he says, but the fallout domestically is the issue and "the appearance that the British Navy has got nothing to offer is not great".

The fact that there are no Navy ships in the Mediterranean for the first time since the Battle of the Nile in 1799 exemplifies this, he says.

Although the Navy would argue that its presence is felt in "different ways", including intelligence, robots and having excellent Royal Marines, Clarke says, "nothing beats a ship for presence and for the ability to actually bring weapons... when you really need them".

Clarke predicts: "This is going to be a big political issue within Britain."

Wrong again. You´re hiding a contradiction. If US will protect Israel at ANY cost (I agree with you on it) they cannot protect at all cost GCC.

They will protect GCC by the means they can pay the bill.

As a European I can tell you. Even Poland is purchasing non US armament because US saw how expensive would be helping europeans against Russia.

Even you´re seeing how Trump is trying to move as much as chip based production from Taiwan to US.

Because it is true that Israel it is their cancerous ally they have been painstically selling the rest of their allies to protect their beloved tumor.

Dude, think about it for a second, how is the US protecting Israel if GCC is not in the picture? Setting aside whether GCC will be neutral toward Israel (that's the best-case scenario), you can't protect Israel unless at least Qatar and Bahrain are on the US side, since most of the threats are inland or across the Red Sea. Saudi Arabia and Iraq may be wild cards, but it would not be much of an issue.

And Taiwan is a different case, because it is EXTREMELY close to China, and there are virtually no assets that the US can reach Taiwan before China gets to it first.

And I don't see how Poland buying French helicopters and Korean tanks has anything to do with this, expensive or not, they did already bought a lot of US stuff, haveing US or Non-US arms have nothing to do with getting US to help you in case you are invaded by Russia.

Yep. Embarrassing. The UK MOD is to blame for gold plating every procurement project, rather than purchasing militarily capable platforms on mass for real military capability. The Type-45 while very advanced, is extremely expensive and unaffordable for the UK.
