Today the American president has tackled the problem of Islamist 'pirates' in Iran, playing terrorist games with the western world. Using their minions to attack innocents wherever they can conveniently do so.
They hold hostage the oil production of several oi rich nations, wreaking economic terror and discomfort upon western powers, among others.
When the American president suggests the European nations assist him in eliminating such 21st century pirates, he received his abrupt answer; "not our war".
No, they have already demonstrated their decision to keep paying off the 'pirates', no matter the nature of their crimes . Not only would they not help, some refused permission to use their airfields, but even refused the use of their air pace !
So, how does this reflect a situation some 220 years ago ? Here, let the Fat Electrician explain it, with all his natural humor!
