Can't help wondering what they might have said if we'd given permission for the Russkies to dock in Gibraltar.  |
Quite. They'd probably have turned it into yet another major diplomatic incident.
It's odd that on the one hand we have RN ships shadowing these warships in the Channel yet another Nato member didn't seem to think it was a problem refuelling them. Even if they thought 'nobody would notice', what does it say about their commitment to Nato at a time when relations with Russia are so poor? The Americans must be getting pretty fed up with this sort of attitude.
