Report: British fleet is preparing to take control of the Persian Gulf

28

Britain plans to increase its military presence in the Persian Gulf, regaining its former position in the region. Among the reasons for the return to the foreign policy of the British Empire are the “Arab Spring” and the fear of nuclear weapons Iran

The Royal Joint Institute for Defense Studies published a report, “Returning East of Suez? Combat deployment in the Persian Gulf ". After analyzing the turn in the policy of Great Britain, the staff of the Center for Defense Affairs came to the conclusion that the reason for the change in foreign policy was the fear of what is happening in the Middle East.

It is noted that the increase in the number of troops in the Persian Gulf does not mean a full return to the imperial style. Britain intends to strengthen the "shadow" presence in the region: it involves the conclusion of agreements, the holding of exercises and the deployment of military bases.
London withdrew troops from areas east of the Suez Canal, including from the Gulf States in 1971. As a result, several independent states were formed in the region.

Experts from the Institute of Defense Studies claim that the British government does not plan to deploy armed forces in the region in the near future, but emphasize that an expansion of the presence would be advisable due to social unrest after the Arab Spring.

      Anyone is prepared for a mess in the Gulf. And everything seems to be serious already.
      Eh would give them a cumpole, the hands of Iran and Syria. For a long time they would have stood up and seldom-rarely mumbled ...

        Let them climb into the Persian Gulf. In the Iranian area, the bay is completely covered by Iran’s high-speed mosquito fleet. These evil marine bull terriers can bite the ass of the British fleet well, and mini submarines turn these cramped waters into soup with dumplings. In the bay, the Anglic arrogance will quickly fly off. Well, what a nation, more ambition than the Poles. If you meet a sailor with a broken face in the port, do not hesitate. Traditionally, the Englishman received a face for his arrogance.

      I think the Pentagon has big financing problems in connection with the crisis, so they asked the satellite for a little support. In general, the shadow presence is not the construction of military bases and the building of a fleet in the bay, it is the purchase of ministers of various states and generals in case of war.

    Preparing to bend Iran. And why did the Britons become afraid of Iranian weapons or the British island sailed to Iran. Rather, kosher all countries unite - the United States, Brita, Israel. And the mess will most likely start during the Sochi Olympics - a convenient alignment, to be sure.

      Quite possibly. After provocation of the US special services in Boston, I had the same suspicion. But GDP apparently kept ACE up its sleeve, because after negotiations with Barack, the US changed anti Russian rhetoric. I had to officially admit that the FSB transmitted information about these potential terrorists. But. Shapoklyak is worth some kind of dirty trick. No wonder they made bonfires, and put matches nearby. am

    Defense Research Institute experts say the British government has no plans to deploy military forces in the region in the near future

    by itself does not plan. the loot stolen from half of the world has ended, and now they are trying to create the appearance of a presence in the region. They are nothing without their American friends. I can imagine what would happen to the Britons if the entire Nazi machine crashed into them, and not to us!
    By the way, Hitler’s miscalculations on this score seem too ridiculous: to leave Britain untouched and to get off with only miserable raids. not all is simple, although the topic is different.

    All the bazaars about "the need for Great Britain to increase its military presence in the Persian Gulf, having regained its former positions in the region" - complete shnyaga!
    Squeeze the noose around the Persians. Who can we argue with that they will start strangling in a year?
    And if they also give Syria, then already for the future.

    Syria, in my opinion, is no longer being given over. This shnyaga (war) will drag on for decades. Unless the third party intervenes, and she does not intervene because it (war) is beneficial (as it is not bitterly recognized) to everyone!

    But in reality, they simply fear that Russia, restoring its fleet, will seize the initiative and they will lose control over the region. Confrontations are growing and China is already making bids in the region, the United States is not coping, the situation is becoming explosive and its outcome will change the balance of power in the world in general - these are the reasons.

        The earth is our common home and we must learn to live in harmony. Redirecting is the technique of our "friends" and our strength is in truth. If our "friends" gnaw through - yes, please, you can still expose the contradictions thereby adding oil to the cleansing fire. To act with their methods is not to respect yourself.

          And what is the strength, brother? Strength is in the ability to defend your interests EVERYWHERE, no matter how it looks from the outside. And this is correct (the United States is a confirmation). The era of mercy is not coming soon, is it, Sharapov? (" meeting point...")

            Russia is not the United States, and I hope it will never be, if a Russian turns into a Yankee, then it's worth a penny. "One's interests" often overlap with desires and benefits; a person does not live for the sake of fulfilling countless desires. Russia is therefore the hope of the whole world, because it has a chance to show a different path. Mercy is an inner quality, and not everyone understands it; sometimes it is more merciful to kill a person than to give him the opportunity to destroy his soul. Mercy is not pity, but life after one's heart.
            But only a strong spirit can be merciful, and a healthy spirit lives in a healthy body.

    Looking at the map you are amazed; it is under the "belly" of Russia England wants (I will quote) "to increase the military presence in the Persian Gulf, having regained its former positions in the region." And God forbid the Russians interfere! Immediately Putin is declared a dictator, the country is an anti-democratic evil empire! What arrogance! These are the things that clearly demonstrate the vaunted Western democracy!

    The motivation for the presence of the Britons fleet is ridiculous. Here are the quotes.
    Among the reasons for the return to the British Empire’s foreign policy are the “Arab spring” and the fear of Iran’s nuclear weapons.
    Like in a movie, the Britons are so scary that sometimes looking in the mirror, they are afraid of themselves. : logging:
    came to the conclusion that the fear of what was happening in the Middle East was the cause of the change in the foreign policy.
    Well and here is the most important thing, slightly veiled.
    It is noted that the increase in the number of troops in the Persian Gulf does not mean a full return to the imperial style. Britain intends to strengthen the "shadow" presence in the region: it involves the conclusion of agreements, the holding of exercises and the deployment of military bases.
