Think you're imagining what the British did or didn't say about any war.
Regardless, I'm stunned that any British flagged ship was not better defended.

Brits are facing this menace with the savage ferocity of...France.
They will carry on:
White privileged bastards...all of them.
White privileged bastards...all of them.
The SAS are definitely bad asses but I'm not to sure the British government has the balls. I hope I am wrong.
I think they do.......they don't take as much cr@p as we do if something is a direct threat to them or their assets.....we are too nice sometimes, but we tend to look like the bully if aren't nice, the Brits don't come across like that , and even if they do, they don;t care
I thought the nuclear deal was going to normalize Iran. This doesn't look normalized. Is this Britain's fault for taking an Iranian tanker?
I think they are trying to show what they are capable of doing, hoping that countries see this and pressure the US to ease sanctions. This is he perfect opportunity for President Trump to engage in diplomacy and try to resolve this whole thing ..... but the Brits might make a move first, they have the capacity to get this ship back
There ought to be back to back warships from all countries dependent on oil from that region sailing beside each merchant ship as a defensive line. Any Iranian pipsqueak boat that comes close should be blown to bits. Any helicopter should be blown from the sky.
That force multiplier approach is all the Iranians understand, or respect.
They certainly didn't respect Obama. They played him like the fool he was.
So they are trying to show everyone they can act like Somali pirates? Should Iran be treated like Somali pirates then? Or should we once again go down a road of appeasement and paying ransoms in an effort to "normalize" them?
Into the mouths of Cerberus, they joyfully follow. Crowing and howling, blind and deaf
Unawares of the coming sorrow.
They want to show that they can shut down the Straights of Hormuz or at least disrupt shipping
Married to a man twice his size.
As I said, act like Somali pirates. Should we treat them like pirates or pay more ransom money?
The difference is that these Iranian boats are Revolutionary Guard, the are part of the Iranian Government, the Somalia Pirates are not supported by the country’s government
So? The Iranian government is acting like they're pirates. Should they be treated like the Somali pirates were or should they be once again appeased? The UK ship isn't even the first one this week.
You pose a good question...... Countries who hold the moral high ground usually will everything short of military action first, but, we want to make a point also, to deter future problems..,.. so, m answer would be.... I don’t know
Knowing the Brits as I do, they will negotiate as an SAS team is preparing, and if negotiations fail, they will go in and take the ship back, they are more than capable
Whats unreal is some leftist journalists think the US is a big ol mean Bully picking on Poor lil Iran. Pffft
I have zero doubts about the abilities of the SAS. I'm just thinking of the political ramifications of Iranians dying in the process.
Doesn’t matter left or right, if we take immediate unilateral military action, we will be perceived by everyone as the bullyWhats unreal is some leftist journalists think the US is a big ol mean Bully picking on Poor lil Iran. Pffft
Not from what I have seen since the US Drone was shot down. The left wants Trump to start something not to punish Iran but to say we wouldn't be in this mess if he had not killd the Iran Nuclear deal.
I should clarify, if something is done to an American asset or personal, Then we have every right to retaliate and we should
Will they attempt to take both boats at the same time while docked at Iranian ports?
