Premierminister setzt sich für britische Interessen ein, sagt Cooper nach Trumps Iran-Kritik

Still can’t believe people are saying we should blindly follow the US into this war after all the president and his cronies have said about the UK and our troops. They are the same ones who are screeching about immigration. Guess what happens when you bomb a country?

BBC still banging on about it and trying to find an attack angle in a decision that <checks notes> most British people agree with.

I think I understand the whole „lets not get involved“ thing.

I just have 2 concerns:

1 – will pissing off Trump / USA come back to haunt us, for example if we ever need support. I don’t think we can rely on EU, so without US support it seems like we have lots of enemies and no friends.

2 – will the next Iranian government like us (as opposed to the current active hatred) as a direct consequence of this stance. Or will we have broken up with the US for nothing (or morals if you think that matters on an existential level).

Why should we sacrifice our troops and equipment for the sake of the orange clown’s war? Has anyone seen the oilfields on fire?

Saddam did that to Kuwait in the 90s and it was lambasted as ecological terrorism by the US – and rightly so. The cancer rates, infant mortality rates, birth defects rates massively increased after the oilfields were set ablaze in Kuwait…
What America and Israel have just done is going to have untold ramifications for generations to come. We want no part of it and can handle a few mean Tweets if it means staying out

Apparently, asking basic questions like „what’s the end goal here“ means you hate Britain. While flinging missiles at a country and running the risk of troops being deployed for a ground invasion is patriotic.

How I wish we could pass a law where if we get involved in a war, a persons position in relation to the front line is determined by how much they support it. I am sure that Nigel and Kemi would be very happy to be in the first wave.
