“Sooner or later some UK navy ship might have a similar sea-faring accident.
Posted by: unimperator | Oct 21 2022 13:11 utc | 248”
Unfortunately our Great Brittannia Navy has been having sea-faring accidents and even at port fuck ups for decades now – not much worse can happen at sea.
Our 2 aircraft carriers have not been commissioned , there are no planes that can safely use them, one of them has a propeller damage recently.
Our nuke subs are constantly in repair, run onto sandbanks or have demented sailors shooting vips and commanders.
I can’t think of one major modern ship that is of any use.
The ones we used in the Falklands lit up like Roman candles because of all the aluminium in their construction!
Meanwhile the Chinese are building and launching them like eggs on a conveyor belt.
The only thing we have is some crazies – SAS ,SBS they are constantly in action across the planet as private armies keeping in place dodgy sultans and pocketing billions for the ancient robber barons. They are just like the Nazi mercenaries in Ukraine, many probably there directly involved. They maybe over due some natural justice – but there are plenty of secret bases out there in the world which would not even register in our ‘media’ or consciousnesses because WE are not supposed to be THERE!
We have planes – but mostly old now and not made in Britain, Harriers were great so the yanks had them decommissioned! So that we could be supplied by crap US MIC that insist we hand over 3% of our Gross Income to them annually whether we need their ‘protection’ or not. We keep the Saudi and other airforces flying. We are as much under continuous occupation as the Germans and Italians have been since 1945.
We Keep their head chopping burkha wearing populations down as slaves they have always been. Whilst whining about headscarf’s for the modernised Iranians!
Not a care about the UAE and it’s slave built football stadia and nasty attitudes.
Why the fuck are we flying sorties daily into the Black Sea thousands of miles from our borders?
Why are we pushing Ukrainians to give up their ancient Russian Language and Culture and pushing them to speaky ENGLISH – comprendo?
The answer is the ancient aristo deepstate and their privy council non democratic rule of the nation. There is no one allowed into high office unless they give them the oath to obey – regardless of what ever the population voted for or is desirable for the many.
We live in a fascist coup state officially since December 2019.
Brittannia has not ruled the waves for a century now.
We don’t have ancient Oak forests to make great sailing pirate ships.
We don’t have industry to make Dreadnoughts.
We have dispensed with cutting edge innovation so can’t even build spacecraft..
Our salvation is coming across the steppe’s by land and seas with the multipolarists, I doubt it will by this Xmas, but the light is in the window and my pitchfork is daily sharpened. They will be coming after us soon as they have done in Ukraine and Germany for the continued use of a letter ,Z, or being a Russkie Lover.

“the Agency and the Pentagram get their orders directly from City of London, the owners of which, could care less about the British people and state.”
You’re naïve if you think the American empire’s taking orders from Little England. I suppose your “City of London” is a veiled reference to the all-powerful Rothschilds that you’re always on about? Anti-semitism: the socialism of fools.

Which EU countries are preventing the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions and why?
We are accustomed to the fact that Russia supplies Europe mainly with energy resources, such as oil, gas and coal. But in addition to such “simple” exports, Russia also supplies more complex products to the EU markets, which forces a number of countries not to include them in the sanctions lists.
For example, Belgium did not ban the import of Russian diamonds, since the ban would harm Antwerp more than Moscow. Russia exports jewelry worth $1.8 billion to Belgium, which is 11% of all jewelry imports into the country.
Many European countries are critically dependent on nuclear fuel supplies from Russia. We are talking not only about the countries of the former Warsaw Pact, where the Soviet Union built nuclear power plants, but also about France and Finland. Russia supplies $200 million worth of uranium, and without these supplies, the nuclear industry of these countries could lose a significant share of their generation. For the former countries of the Soviet bloc, the end of supplies means exactly one thing – the death of the nuclear industry.
Another “assumption” on the part of Europe is the ability of Greece to deliver Russian oil to non-European countries. Thus, Russian companies with the help of Hellas can officially supply their oil products and not fall under sanctions. This will prevent Greece from suffering huge losses due to idle trading capacities. So for the two countries it is literally a win-win situation.
Well, let’s not forget about the ban on imposing sanctions on Russian titanium – here, obviously, the lobby of Airbus, which is in first place in the world in the production of airliners, the design of which largely consists of titanium mined in Siberia. Interestingly, another aircraft manufacturing corporation, Boeing, also banned the imposition of sanctions, and American aircraft are built on our titanium.
