      Seems to me that when we leave, the whole Mideast will
      be a haven for Iran, Russia and probably China.
      China is already well established in various parts of southern Africa
      building roads, townships and airstrips.

        Hell, China owns the Panama Canal.

            We left via ships and airplanes. I left on a RAF Hasting that
            was leaking oil from the outer starboard engine. Pilot officer
            who came to look at it had a huge handlebar mustache.

              My experience is, they took it home with them.

              I was in Egypt and the British Army was scouring the battlefields and piling up all the junk they could find to ship home to Britain as scrap metal.
