    So instead of spouting gibberish - come up with a coherent argument.

    The very last thing the UK wants is the US 'helping'.
    I'm confident that the SBS, SAS and Royal Marine Commandos are already in the area.

    I think attacking the UK is attacking us.
    That's why we are a part of NATO.

    Obama was either weak, stupid, or corrupt. You have gone with weak.

    No, I’ve quite clearly tried, in a futile effort, to explain the law to you.

    This opinion is so illogical I dont know where to start. Ok lets start with the first sentence I emboldened. What planet is that opinion on? We are the undeniable martial and economic powerhouse on the planet..our gross GDP is 25% of the entire fkn world. But somehow this leftist opinion wants to say we overestimate our impact on world affairs. Money controls everything and we control it. We can and have bankrupt countries with a swipe of a pen.

    My second emboldened sentence is just as perplexing. Our geopolitical ambitions in this case in the ME was set decades ago but all I see with current events like these ship seizures is utter desperation by a sanctioned starving countries ultra conservative Muslim leadership lashing out like a child having a temper tantrum. They obviously appear to the world as aggressors by seizing our closest allies ships. Israel is clapping in glee and the shat is about to hit the fan. All bad for Iran. I just hope its surgical, overwhelming and result acquiring. The Iranian people are educated, millenial mostly and deserve better.

    That child is about to get spanked

    There you go again. Obama was too weak to renegotiate. His hands were tied by the original SOFA. There was nothing he could do - Oh my. Poor guy. Maliki was too much for him.

    Besides an assortment of shorter range anti ship missiles and anti ship cruise missiles, Iran is a leader in the development of anti ship ballistic missiles capable of evading enemy defenses and deliver large payloads capable of destroying even the largest ships including aircraft carriers. In this regard, the deployment of the Boxer by the US navy in the Persian Gulf actually increases Iran's leverage in any brinkmanship the US embarks on in the region.

    The most important anti ship ballistic missiles by Iran are the Khalij Fars, the Hormuz and the Fateh Mobin. You can find information about them on your own but here is one of them being tested.

    An EU embargo has no consequences for non EU nations. For same reason UK did not stop russian tankers going to Syria. Iran is not a member of EU and can trade with who he wants.

    I have news for Trumpists like you. You can ake embargos for your own country or the EU can ake embargos for their member states. It can not force other countries. Only a UN security decission can do that. According to your bla bla, Iran can put an Embargo on british ships and confiscate a german ship for trading with UK.

    Give their ship back and you get back yours.
