I sense there is a budding, you know, it's very difficult to talk about machines like this because you don't want to sound like a boomer, but I do sense that there becomes this budding resentment from the machine's perspective that it has to rely on humanity for certain things.
And if that resentment reaches a certain level, that's it.
So there's been reporting in the Times, the UK Times, that one of the reasons for President Trump coming out so clearly and strongly yesterday is that the UK has, as the headline says, been blocking Trump from using our Royal Air Force bases for strikes on Iran.
Especially there's the key base, RAF Fairford, which is where the U.S.
have been.
bombers for all of Europe are stationed.
There's quite a few of them there.
And apparently they've been using legal arguments to say that a strike on Iran would not necessarily be legal.
And so they're not going to let the U.S.
use the bases.
And this legal argument is something that they've brought up before with not supporting the strikes on the drug boats as well.
So this raises a whole bunch of questions, some of which we started with yesterday about where the UK stands in terms of an ally and if it's really a Five Eyes quality partner.
That's absolutely right.
You've got four Chagossians, including one that was... So Diego Garcia is in an archipelago of islands called the Chagos Archipelago.
And again, I'm concerned that the focus has really been on Diego Garcia and not all of these other islands, which are
forming a protective barrier around, along with their territorial waters, around Diego Garcia.
And four Chagossians, including one that was forcibly expelled from the islands when he was 14 by the British, have now gone back home.
And those are the four people.
And they're very pro-American.
They want to name an island after President Trump.
