We didn't have all this trouble when we had empires.

Quote from: Alex on October 12, 2026, 08:01:40 AMPerhaps their military is not so brave when it comes to attacking other muslims ?  I dunno just a thought.....

It would seem that is that no one is very brave when it comes to attacking the Iranian backed terrorists of the world . Ie the Houthis

Up to now containment seemed to be the way .
As Israel tried  to manage Hamas in Gaza .
It didn't work as Oct 7th proved .
And instead of expressing sorrow at this atrocity the anti semitics of the world  backed the murderers

And behind it all is Iran funder of terror, murderer of thousands  of its own people
It's proxies block the straits .
Trump tried but his staunch allies ( the U.K. included) backed down
The world has allowed this Iranian funded terrorist group to hold it to ransom .
And it is still strong as it has shown by this attack on Saudi Arabia
It also shows the dangers of sitting on the fence and trying to deal with insane ideologies .
The Houthis who most of us regard as a bunch of savages appear to be far more powerful than we think
Far  from being defeated they have attacked Saudi Arabia not once but twice and no doubt will do so again .
So much for the free Palestine brigade who think of the Houthis  Hamas Hezbollah  etc as some sort of freedom fighters
They are not they are an evil cancer that is determined to destroy the world as we know it .
Where are the Saudi allies ?
Why is the world not joining  together to rid it of these terrorists ?
For the truth is total eradication is the only solution to these madmen .

I'll get up shortly. Have a shower, hang out some washing (dry here today) then off to the charity shop later.  Fish & chips for tea, by request of my OH.

Our area probably needs it. This is probably the driest year I can remember. We are still on a hosepipe ban.
