If the US gets free passage then every country will demand it and where will the canals get their funding from then. What an idiot!

I assume therefore that you take the "non western" propaganda MSM as the truth. What sources are they BTW?

Thanks WG! That is my evening meal ruined! 😁

Whereas you are just crazy about posting in or creating post on every topic under the sun. Most of your posts being totally irrelevant as your comment above shows.

What else do you expect from the OP? It is at least consistent in the cr@p it posts!

Good point which I had forgotten! But all that did was to allow Egypt to take control of "their" canal which then rolled over into the Aswan Dam US/USSR stand off which the USSR won!

He has been consistently wrong on this and similar topics, at least.

The only US involvement in the Suez Canal was the joint operations Nimbus Moon & Star (USN) and Rheostat (RN) plus the French navy and UN land support in 1974/75 to clear the Suez canal of any ordinance. I was involved in both RN operations and have many tales to tell about all three Navies!!

That is my point!

I thought he would need to have a mind in order to change it!

Was he being interviewed for a job or looking to interview a potential wife? 🤣

And learn geography!

You were typing as I edited my post when I noticed the date of the quote.

The USN and RN and occasionally some other Navies maintain patrols in the Persian Gulf, straits of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman but do NOT escort any ships that are not flying their own flag. As to battleships, there are no such vessels at sea anymore and where "frog men" get involved I have no idea! PS; I had not seen the last line, "- Donald Trump, Playboy Interview, 1990" of your post when I wrote the above. A lot has changed in 25 years!

They are burnt toast with you.

If you really love the person you are leaving your savings to it surely makes sense to minimise any risks to them getting that money and use a proper lawyer! My partner arranged for my will to be drawn up by a lawyer relation of a friend. No idea of costs as she paid for it (if any) and seems happy as Larry! PS; I did ask for a cluse to be add wrt if any suspicious circumstances were found but they declined for some reason.

Ditto!

Why does that statement only apply to the "left"?

He will of course go via Pizza Express.

The historical names and boundaries of what a country was previously called is meaningless wrt it's present day boundaries.

This is from the link; "“Those Canals would not exist without the United States of America,” Trump said," I can see tenuous links between the Panama canal and the USA wrt construction. history, politics and geography but what links does the USA have with the Suez canal?

Why would any AN member want to have lunch with a poster like you?

Provided it is a nice looking female!

You do all the time and your "date of boundary changes" argument is so laughable and meaningless. Look at the USA's previous names etc.

+1 The more we respond the more it's post/popularity count goes up (in it's mind). I tend to only react to it's really outlandish posts.
