    Of course. The game now is shoring up against Russia, Iran and Syria and everyone’s got deeply unpleasant allies.

    Yes. With 'allies' like this, who needs enemies.

    Yes, I felt the same about the chap who ran the luxury travel business and spent years travelling the world on behalf of his Saudi billionaire clients, so oblivious to their nefarious ways that he ended up doing cleaning jobs in local restaurants after he whistle-blew and his business collapsed.

    Don't be such a pearl-clutcher. They are a necessary ally for entirely moral reasons.

    As opposed to morally spotless allies like Russia, Iran and Assad, you mean?

    Oh, yes, he was good. Reading between the lines he was a glorified pimp.

    A tribute:

    I’ll spend the rest of my life
    Livin' in a Jihadi’s paradise
    But there ain’t no virgins here
    Just 71 versions of my wife

    I will admit to being out of touch with youth culture but I have honestly never heard of this bloke.

    yeah, I could see we could have a full and frank exchange of views taking all afternoon on that. I liked the bit where they blackmailed the UK to carry on paying the bribes or else they'd stop "co-operating on intelligence" (ie: send more of their headchoppers into to attack us)

    I'll take the secular, non-sectarian, arab socialists and christian conservative Rooskies over the Wahhabi headchoppers and their army of the worst thugs and criminals in the world, thanks. Most Syrians support Assad. Less keen on Iran tbf, but gimme a Shia over a Sunni any day.

    In geopolitics, everyone plays the best hand they can. No-one said it was nice.
