What is clear to everyone now is the heavy price Britain is paying for the total disregard the US has not only for its “enemies” (previously regarded as the good guys when they did Washington’s bidding), but also its allies.
This has been once more illustrated by the fact that a failed American attempt to abduct two senior Iranian security officers on an official visit to northern Iraq is seen by many as the reason why just weeks later, the Iranian’s seized 15 service personnel belonging to the US’s ally – the 15 British sailors and marines.
Not only can we see once more the cowboy approach to international law – ignore it if it gets in the way – but also an incredible lack of foresight and the taking of responsibility for the potential consequences of these illegal actions.
The British service personnel detained by the Iranian’s are there not just because they were seized by Iran, but because the US have once more started something British forces will have to spill blood to finish.
