Sure buddy, we all know you’re a bitch that will send British troops in to die in Iran if your buddy Trump asks.

When did the UK lose its spine? Before or after Blair capitulated on Iran?

It’s there to help defend Cyprus from drone attacks. It says so right there in the article.

It’s the Guardian. It’s been a mouthpiece of the UK intelligence services since they capitulated over the establishment push back it got over publishing the Snowden leaks. So nothing it prints with regard to Western hegemonic machinations can be trusted. Especially anything to do with supporting the US and Israel. Which is what they are clearly doing.

It’s an air defence destroyer. It’s way too far away to be getting involved with anything in Iran.

It is material support for US and Israeli illegal warmongering.

True but given that UK bases are being used to bomb Iran this is still supporting America's war.
