    Do you want to lose your flagship in a raid? Because that’s how you lose your flagship in a raid.

    I would believe Boris if he told me the Tories have the interests of the common man at heart, before I believed even a single word put out by that racist, xenophobic, hate-filled shitrag

      so, that would have very likely incited The Netherlands to invoke Article V against the UK. Which would have been… interesting, considering who was the US president at the time.

      On a related note, I’m guessing that’s the only reason they even evaluated the option - because BoJo thought he could spin it in a way Trump would buy into the idea if they actually decided to try it. But also, something like that would have utterly destroyed the internal integrity of NATO for several pretty fucking huge reasons.

      That sounds more like using military aircraft to collect the vaccines than taking them by force.
