Last night's events in the Middle East show the value of allies and of long term investment in defence. Iran's capabilities - to attack with a wide variety of precision long range weapons - are considerable. European countries could not have mounted a similar defence
@MarkUrban01 A new kind of asymmetrical warfare. The defensive weapons cost immeasurably more than the offensive ones!
@MarkUrban01 If Europe wasn't dominated by an aggressive, US controlled military 'alliance' it wouldn't need to spend billions on arms.
@MarkUrban01 Russia triumphed. Patriot missile stocks were used up at huge cost.
@MarkUrban01 @paulmasonnews Marvellous results in Israeli air defence. Wouldn’t it be brilliant if Ukraine was provided with the same level of air defence making it equally protected.
@MarkUrban01 And all paid for by the US and Europe. Israel takes everything and gives nothing in return to show for it in terms of progressive peace moves. Netanyahu must be removed by the west regime change is required.
@MarkUrban01 Well, also shows the value of not bombing a country with Iran’s capabilities, too.
@MarkUrban01 @back_the_BBC European countries didn't just bomb an Iranian consulate or carry out multiple assassinations of iranians.
@MarkUrban01 @lukemcgee They would have been too sensible to do so, This all just escalates the problems,
