The sinking of MS Estonia: Case Reopened Part VII

[Mojo]

The UK tend to et involved in maritime treaties, a habit I think.

Something to do with the "Rule Britannia"? See Sellar & Yeatman's standard reference on British history.

 

[LondonJohn]

Yes, British Military Intelligence had their Far East headquarters at Hong Kong hidden in the wreck of the Queen Elizabeth.

There was a documentary film about it.

Ah I remember watching that documentary. As I recall, it featured a naval intelligence officer who looked quite a bit like Roger Moore.

 

[Mojo]

So come on: why is the UK a signatory to the treaty? What is its involvement?

Why do you think it is significant? What "involvement" are you claiming?

You tell me why the UK has anything to do with the Baltic Sea.

 

[zooterkin]

You tell me why the UK has anything to do with the Baltic Sea.

You brought it up, what do you think it means?

 

[Steve]

You tell me why the UK has anything to do with the Baltic Sea.

No. You tell us what you think is significant. Your stupid habit of insinuation by JAQing off is classic conspiracy fantasist stuff.

She'll have you know her 999 JAQing off habits are simply too advanced and eleventy steps ahead of your feeble understanding, and not stupid at all....

Dealing with the smartest person alive can be a little challenging at times. There is a reason that Vixen "knows" stuff that nobody else does, and it has nothing to do with research, logic, analytical thinking, sanit ........

Oh good grief this is ignorant nonsense, as usual.

There is long-term cooperation between the UK and Germany over the Baltic, including RN involvement in naval patrols. You may have heard of Russia?
The UK also leads the Joint Expeditionary Force which includes several nations with interests in the Baltic region.
Next there are joint efforts with the Scandinavians and Germans to monitor Russian submarine activity in the Baltic Sea
Finally there are various bilateral UK defense cooperation arrangements with (for example) Norway, Denmark, and Estonia.

Try educating yourself before spouting ignorant drivel.

Well, hey, she's in Finland, so how is she supposed to know anything about naval operations on the Baltic?

So how come Germany has NOT signed the Treaty when it is a Baltic nation?

To abstain is a statement, is it not?

JAQing off, then.

Anyone seen a set of goalposts?

 

[Steve]

Or a duck and cover, as in this case.

They went that a way. But you'll never catch them!

Think about what a conscious abstention means. To do nothing is just as much an option as voting for or against. Reflect on what statement Russia, for example, is making when it abstains from UN votes, or an MP under Whip. It is not an accidental oversight, is it?
