In an interesting twist to the news today, both the UK military, the US military, the Russian military and the Ukrainian military have shown themselves to be totally useless!
The UK have had RAF personnel files stolen from a high security base in Gloucestershire! Personnel records stolen from MoD In the current climate, this is actually worse than leaving them on a disc in the back of a taxi!
And even worse still, if that’s possible, and given all the posturing, the combined might of the US Sixth Fleet, the Russian Meditteranean Fleet,and the Ukrainian Navy cannot protect a Ukrainian export to Kenya from being hijacked by pirates in dinghies!
Here are some comparisons:
Russian ship
American Ship
Ukrainian Ships
Somali Pirate Ship
So what exactly do they do with all the money that’s given to them to "protect" us?
[...] Admiral Mark Fitzgerald told the BBC that Somali pirates ‘hard to defeat’. So even though NATO want to install missiles all over Europe to counter a mythical threat, and even though they have highly advanced RADAR, monitoring and communication systems, they still can’t manage to do what the Royal Navy did very effectively 200 years ago using wooden ships with cloth sails; That is, CATCH PIRATES!
