RAF Chinooks Arrive in Cyprus to Help With Iraq Aid



Gotta love the Brits.  They're always available to provide an international cover for whatever action we decide to take (sarcasm).  Seriously though, I wonder how this is going over in the UK.

  1. To tell you the truth, the news has made little or no impact here. Still, it keeps the RAF busy and reminds everyone just what they are for......Which usually is sitting round on airfields doing bugger all and missing their targets! Oh yeah, don't even get me started on the RAF Regiment! French doing much? No! Germans doing much? No! Business as usual in Europe then.....

  2. How true Sol. Europe has allowed itself to be a big baby sucking on the nipple of Putin for their gas. They know that if they rock the boat he turns the gas tap off. In the UK we have finally woken up to it.....late as usual. The Russian Naval activity has ratcheted up and France are selling them LPHD's. Unbelievable.
