Trump Rebukes Starmer?

We shouldn't be supporting draft dodging Trump in this illegal attack on Iran. We don't have to do what Trump thinks we should and we should not be supporting Netanyahu - already wanted for war crimes.
What next - Trump going to invade the Outer Hebrides and claim it as US territory?
Iranian leadership are living outside common civilised standards, as is Trump and Netanyahu. They put such a low value on human life.

So pleased Starmer is standing his ground,he has gone up in my estimation.

Iran will just be plunged into chaos,the same as all other countries where there has been war.

I was in the British Army when it was a decent size and we had amazing military hospitals,with top notch staff and equipment.All gone now..Our Armed Forces are minimal now,we don’t need them being killed,just to feed Trumpstein’s ego.

DT is so used to the bunch of sycophants in the White House who do his bidding as soon as he snaps his fingers. Well done to our PM for not doing so.

I just can’t believe that anyone can think that anything involving DT will turn out well He and his SofS are giving different reasons for why they acted. There’s no plan for other the here and now or the future . And it won’t be DT and his henchmen who will suffer.

Supporting Trump would have been weak.

In your opinion.

In the opinion of everyone who has more than half a braincell and knows that he who lives by killing will die by being killed.

Being famous for taking whatever you want by force doesn't help you find support when you want that, or sympathy when your grabs don't succeed.

But what if it does succeed and he rids the world of an evil regime?

I'm not keen on Starmer Meandrogrog but I think bringing forward the end of the world in order to get rid of him would be a bit excessive.

Its more about how he has failed to be a strong and decisive leader, he is just not a leader.

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

I think the opposite, I think it takes strength to decide not to support Trump. There have been far too many weak leaders prepared to say ‘how high?’ when Trump says ‘jump’.

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 ?

It takes more strength to NOT fall in line with someone who is trying to bully you into supporting his next illegal attack.

I just hope this will see him gone.

And he has repeated that he is not supporting Trump's attacks.

I am pleased he's not supporting Trump in these illegal activities.
Good for him.

Well…he has u turned again and now he is supporting the US as UK bases can now be used by them for defence in hitting the Iran missile sites.

Only two, and only to defend them, not as an attacking strike.

You are right MayBee70 the west has done so much damage interfering in other countries.

There is a lot of misunderstanding or glossing over what law we are talking about.

As far as Trump and the USA is concerned, he has broken both the USA constitutional law and international law.

We and by that I mean the allies, must stick unwaveringly to the insistence that international law must be followed, because if we don’t the mighty will walk all over the rest, including ourselves.

These laws exist for a very good reason, and much wiser people than posters on GN including post WW2 diplomats, politicians and academics are responsible for their existence.

We ignore these laws at our absolute peril.

And with a consistently unsuccessful outcome.

Didn’t it all start long ago with the west creating borders in the Middle East which, prior to that, had not existed? Is there a single example where our meddling has been for the good?

Trump rebuking Starmer or anyone else that does not carry out his bidding to expectation and timescale is petulant and not a surprise. Trump and his colleagues have gone around denigrating European leaders and countries successively over the past year- the outcome should not be a surprise.

T Blair sought approval for the invasion of Iraq, to assist US, from elected members of HoC- but even so the decision to take the UK into US Iraq war haunts his legacy and still causes public anger to this day. Trump has published no plan, seemingly has no agreed strategy and did not consult even his own Congress.

Trump is now learning ( or perhaps/probably not) his diplomacy style and behaviour is reaping unwanted rewards....

Trump has no plan for Iran apart from bombing it to smithereens.
There is nothing to stop another dangerous regime rising up from the ashes.
The Iranians believe that the US and Israel are evil regimes so will that change.

And with a consistently unsuccessful outcome.

Different countries and different situations.
