Raise you hand if you knew that:

a) Al-Jazeera was equipped and trained by BBC, our "special friends" the Brits. They are indeed proud of their little project. [1]

b) is run by the same "country" -- insert laugh track here -- that hosts the Al-Udeid Air Base from which these some of these little robots take off.

(PressTV is also mostly produced in UK, for your information.)

An informed* man once said "Be wise as serpents". For we are dealing with serpents, so pay attention.

So why is this little psyop station affiliate of BBC dumping on UK's "special friend"? For the same reason that they insist on calling America "an Empire" and attempt to hang all of the blame for NATO's expansionist agenda on the American people.
