    Being careful what to say, how to say, when to say, where to say and who to say to is very important in partnership relationship.

    I am not oppose to the French Navy being here , but why why now. It seems suspicious to me.

    WHY NOW?????

    I think that because of the ongoing political "Tug-a-war between the UK'S policies and our political Leaders pushback maybe the reason at this time. Maybe we may here not too pleasant news from our Premier and his team this day in reference to the visit to the to the UK, but my suspicious thoughts could be wrong. Like all other humans I am far from perfection.
    Only the Creator of the universe is the One.
    God our Creator alone has our best interest at heart, not mankind.
    Let God alone be true all the time, past time, present time, and time to come.
