[JustTheNews] In remarks posted to social media, Starmer said that while he continued to oppose the use of military force to achieve Western aims in Iran, he had granted access to British based for what he called “defensive strikes” against Iranian missile sites that could be used to attack U.K. allies in the region.
But the prime minister also said his country had “learned from the mistakes of Iraq,” where the U.K. played a leading role in toppling the regime of Saddam Hussein. He said British forces were not involved in the initial U.S.-Israeli strikes Saturday morning and had no plans to join the offensive against Tehran – amid decades of oppressive, authoritarian rule and pursuit of a nuclear weapon.

After refusing when it mattered, now he wants America to expend their treasure to defend the British forces in the area that he left hanging in the wind, who are without the means to properly defend themselves because he was busy spending it to give benefits to the masses of Muslim colonists he has for decades been coddling in order to use them to punish the native English population. And still he wants to hobble the American effort against the caliphate-mongers of Iran. |
