Look at the price of petrol now, it was worth it. Oh wait no that is the miffed Saudias that have done that for us.

On one hand I respect the stance of standing by your friends....we had to support the Americans.
On the other hand I think given Britain's rich colonial history we should have known better. We didn't fair better during the Anglo-afghan wars oh the late 1800s.

You read that article too! Not just Putin but the Septics too who are befriending Iran and their airforce.
