Update: I’m not entirely pleased with how the Iranian President has manipulated this story in an effort to make himself look reasonable to the world, but I’m very pleased that the soldiers were released.
To bad the British Navy isn’t much larger than the Iranian Navy. The only appropriate response to this would be about 15 capital English warships blockading Iranian ports. Unfortunately, the British will only be able to send a strongly worded letter of protest.

What else is new? Unfortunately HDW it never does end well, but with all of the war mongers out there we will never know peace.
Unfortunately the soldiers are the ones that are paying the price instead of the rulers.
The only way to stop war from never happening again is to force the rulers to fight the war themselves. 2 bullets or bow and arrows if you prefer, whoever is left standing takes the whole enchilada!
But the war mongers are to chicken for that solution!
That said! Hope your having a good week-end!
