Des, shoes and socks!!!!!!!!!!
Do not wear either, only put shoe son when going out.
But ity can have its problems, my feet have got more holes than you can poke a stick at, nails and stones do havoc to uncovered feet.

I think I would be cancelling any holidays planned I had for Cyprus. I just hope the Russians will have a long hard think about how far they want to take this. Yet again NATO leave it to 3 member nations to do the dirty work. I hope the other 25 member nations chip in a few quid to at least pay for a coffee for the lads risking there lives.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Just hope Trump winds his neck in on his twitter account now, he must be a nightmare for his military chiefs. As you say Lewis, not exactly a united EU response , kt

Interesting that we have at one time criticised the D type destroyers, but one of them has been earmarked to protect the combined fleet in the Med.
Apparently the D class can track and shoot down a missile at 48 mile range.
Putin is a S.A. bully, if we let him away with his manners and consistent pushing of the boundaries he will try the patience of the west. Like all bullies they have at sometime have to be put back in their box.
Hopefully he will now sit back and contemplate and reflect on his actions.

Unfortunately because we never pulled Assad in last time that I decided to chemically attack civilians I suspect he thought he could do it again with total impunity

Re: Navy is now down to five ships.

I do wonder with modern warfare, will we actually need ships ?

From detection a Russian S300/400 travels at Mach 6 which is 1,992 meters per second or 4,456 miles per hour, so 48 miles you have 93 seconds before impact. I think the favoured defence would be Chaff or Phalanx.
