Trump Rebukes Starmer?

America is also run by a repugnant mysogynistic man Nik.

Starmer should have kept us out of it altogether. Much like Spain has done. Trump is hellbent on starting WWIII

Iran is the most evil regime since the Nazis and Stalin. It is run by repugnant misogynistic old men with a medieval religious ideology. It represses and murders its citizens and spreads terrorism throughout the world. It has no regard whatsoever for international law and if it had nuclear weapons then Israel would probably cease to exist. It has no intention of abiding by any nuclear nonproliferation and its leaders despise the West. Its regime is a serious threat to world peace and sadly this war was inevitable at some point. It is naive to try to negotiate with such a regime to whom international law is a western concept that means nothing. Starmer’s vacillation about the use of our bases simply makes us look weak, which of course we are!

The Democrats in the US aren't supporting the way Trump is hitting Iran and think Starmer is correct.

Britain should satay out of this war. There are three rogue states battling it out.

Now we see why trump didn't put more pressure on the Israeli government to stop the destruction of Gaza 😢

Starmer should have supported Trump, he is weak and not fit to be PM.

Startmer showed strength in hia decision. Did Trump and Netanyahu consult him or Congress before they made this strike? No, so why ask for help now? Starmer is dealing with this in the right manner. Trump recently boasted that we didn't do anything to help in the Iraq and Afghan conflict. An insult to the 400+ British service men and their families who died. Look what he did in Venezuela? Trump is just deflicting from the Epstein files being exposed and Netanyahu is a war criminal. I despise tge Iranian regime but it's not our fight. The Iraqis was crying for help from the West and look how ungrateful they were after and also the mess that was left? Also the birth of ISIS followed. The Muslim world need to sort themselves out.

At PMQs today Starmer said he's defending our assets and people abroad by shooting down drones and missiles. The Iran minister said in the following lunchtime news that Iran is firing missiles at any place from where Iran bound missiles may come. That's what the Americans and other supporting nations are doing. Why is that we (the UK) allow bullies to punch us but won't punch back. That's why our current PM is weak, gutless and spineless. Same with Savile and the grooming gangs.

Think back to WW2? Although we would probably have lost the war without the USA, they were more than happy to sit back until Pearl Harbour and then sold us a pile of junk for weapons. Think on Mr Trump.

Thinking isn’t his forte sadly.

I hear the Lake District is very nice Sazz1

IDK how Trump can say that to Starmer as Americans only helped in the last war after pearl harbour was attacked.
I'm reading that Iran has cells in the UK at the ready, has fired at Turkey today, and 6 cruise ships are stuck in Dubai as Iran closed the Strait. It just gets worse every day. Scary times atm and tbh I'm too scared to book a holiday anywhere.

Spain seems to be holding firm, and not being drawn into an illegal war.

Yes, Oreo, (apologies, couldn’t quote you for some reason) after a British base on Cyprus was hit. What would you suggest KS do about that act of aggression, ignore it?
KS has handled this absolutely correctly. As he has most international diplomacy since becoming PM.
I’m a floating voter. Voted Labour to get shot of the previous shambles. I’m disappointed in some domestic policies, very disappointed in its comms people’s failure to effectively communicate the good things the government is doing.
I don’t think his international competency can be faulted.

I don’t know which of my comments you are referring to.

Churchill was brilliant as a leader in WW2.He was just what was needed.
I don’t think Starmer is any good in peacetime let alone if we have a war situation.

I suspect many of those who would vote Churchill the greatest ever Briton have little knowledge of his very shady history outside of WW2 leadership.

I think we realise that but, as an orator and wartime leader, he would make Trump look like a petulant four year old.

We all know about that treaty. Obama was involved so of course as soon as trump was elected he ripped it up. This week’s shenanigans are a direct result.

Churchill wasn’t a perfect leader, or individual. his actions in ww1 killed thousands of our troops.
He’s remembered with respect for being the leader we needed in Ww 2.
Trump is a dangerous man, totally lacking in integrity and ignorant on world affairs. His personal wealth is said to be increasing exponentially as a result of his policies,

Ex Ambassador speaking to the BBC today, saying there had been a treaty with Iran. Trump tore it up. If there was actual real evidence of a threat to the USA it would have been revealed. Her verdict? No threat to the USA.

I have just seen someone on television, a member of a Churchill society, repeat the words of Mary Soames (Churchill's daughter) : 'do not put words into my father's mouth'.

Starmer, in my opinion, isa very dangerous man.

Do you mean Trump?

In comparison to Trump, Starmer sounds like a statesman.

Basgetti I agree.

The Americans and Brits killed over a million in Iraq. This will be a repeat.

In an international situation it is of course international law which applies. It is no use telling a foreign head of state that Uk law says they can't do that in a third country. They would laugh in your face. The fact that Trump is as likely to ignore international law as he is to ignore the constitution of his own country is not a reason for Starmer to throw away the international lawbook. He is pretty keen on UK law, too, unlike some politicians.

International Law. Let's wait and see how many other countries Iran attacks, just for the hell of it, even their next door neighbours, who had done nothing.Where was International Law, and Starmer, and the EU, when Iran thugs were murdering their own people. They cried for help, Starmer and his cronies denied them.
As soon as this evil regime has gone the better.

Absolutely! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Sure, Let's all pile in and bomb each other to oblivion. What fun! Just press the button and enjoy the fireworks. Who is volunteering for the suicide missions?

Or would you rather criticise everyone else for not volunteering ?

That’s just silly.
Iran is not just a terrible regime to its own people but a real worry to not only Israel and surrounding region but to the world as it encourages and arms terror groups.Now it’s getting close to having nuclear capability and was enjoying playing cat and mouse with the talks, which were never going anywhere.
What’s happening now is necessary.

You do realise Israel finances Hamas and has owned up to doing so according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz? Besides which, it is up to the Iranians to remove their own government. No one else.

They get killed when they try!

They are getting killed now. By the Israelis and the Americans.
