Remember that Brexiters want us to be closer to the US than the EU. They watched the US do shit like this for years and wanted to be a lapdog to it.
Good, I really hope we’re not dragged into this. We shouldn’t be a fascist’s bitch.
Israel says jump and US says how high. A tale as old as time.
The Epstein files they have hidden must have stuff so abhorrent even the most stupid of the red caps can’t defend it. Bad news for Venezuela, Iran, cuba and Greenland, as he will start ww3 to cancel elections and scrutiny
>Dame Emily Thornberry, chairwoman of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme she did not think the US-Israeli strikes were legal.
>She said: „As far as I’m aware, we’re not involved in this. There’s not been British agreement to be involved in this, and I think that’s the right thing to do. I don’t think that there’s a legal basis for this action.“
>She added: „They were not under imminent threat, and so it’s therefore difficult to see what the legal justification is.“
I’m pleasantly surprised that Starmer has found the spine to keep distancing us from Trump’s regime change operations in an overt way. A Tory PM would have full-throatedly backed anything the Americans did to any non-European country, even if they didn’t join in, and Tony Blair would have definitely joined in.
The fact it happened on a Friday too after the markets close. Its naked corruption as you just know that Trump and his cronies will have backed positions that will make them money on markets opening on Monday.
Ah mealy mouthed nonsense incoming from our government.
It’s unilateral illegal war in the middle of a negotiation.
US are no longer an allied force. We need to make it crystal clear.
I’m sure there will be a sizeable minority on the Reform supporting side that will support this war, not knowing Afghans and Iranians make the largest number of illegal immigrants to the UK.
An Iran war is deeply against our interests, there is no scenario of a peaceful revolution or the regime falling, all this war does is temporarily weaken Iranian missile capabilities that they will never use against us, it will skyrocket oil prices which will also benefit Russia and the effects on immigration will bolster right wing populists that will stop aid to Ukraine, which is far more important than Iranian aid to Russia.
He won’t get congressional approval but wants ours?
Fuck that
Some absolutely pathetic comments here. The Iranian regime is the enemy of any one that enjoys freedom and they have been the main destabilising force in the region for decades.
The Iranian people have a chance of freedom for the first time in generations and you lot are crying about it 😂
It’s good that we’re at least able to say we don’t support it, but this is a blatant violation of international law and convention, it’s starting an aggressive war to force regime change. We should not only be saying that but really, the US and Israel should be sanctioned. We all know that won’t happen but we should be pulling all intel and military cooperation with them until they back off at least.
Iran is no utopia obviously, though it isn’t particularly worse than western allies in the region like Saudi and Bahrain. Before Trump came in and started charging around like a bull in a china shop, they were engaging diplomatically, especially with European countries.
The main lesson that countries are going to take from last year and now this is that diplomacy with the US and Israel don’t work, if you want to protect yourself you need a nuclear deterrent. Russia, India and Pakistan are likely going to be prepared to help with that, and the tech isn’t actually difficult enough to prevent domestic programmes. The entire principle of non-proliferation is that if you’re a non nuclear state, you will be protected from aggression by the permitted nuclear states – Ukraine and Iran show that that simply isn’t the case any more.
