Marshall claims, minds sections with open lanes could balance control in the world's busiest shipping straight, without inciting chaos. In his view, the people crossing art refugees, just economic migrants leaving France, not war zones. He warns Britain is a powder keg, with the Royal Navy having only four functional surface ships outside its nuclear subs, and tensions at a breaking point. This Fox segment connects to a larger right-wing media push, spanning both sides of the Atlantic.
