There’s no way Starmer pulls us into this war, given the current political climate in the UK.
The two far-right party leaders called to join the war in Iran as soon as it started - they’ve both had to backpedal now due to the UK public categorically not supporting the war.
It’s given Starmer some much-needed good press. His actions on the world stage have been consistently brilliant and I don’t see that stopping yet. He should be able to keep our noses clean during this, but I suspect we’ll be hit with the recession regardless.

“We have already destroyed 100 per cent of Iran’s military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close-range missile somewhere along, or in, this waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are.”
In what appeared to be an appeal to the UK and other nations, he added: “Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint will send ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a nation that has been totally decapitated.”
Mr Trump struck a markedly different tone from when, earlier this month, he accused Sir Keir of joining the conflict after the US had already claimed victory, suggesting the US no longer needed UK assistance.
“The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East,” Mr Trump wrote earlier in March. “That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer – But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”

The only official response to him from the UK should be the direct quote about not needing the UK. No additional words. Don’t take any words out. Just the exact quote.

Starmer will say no, only in defence, then give Trump everything he wants.
America First. Remember?
So maybe all those allies weren’t so bad to have anyway?
But I sincerely hope nobody will come to the aid of USA in this. They made the mess together with Israel without consulting allies, and they need to clean it up themselves.
If they had consulted allies, I am pretty sure they would have been told unanimously to NOT attack Iran. They even had a clear deal on the nuclear thing, that Iran would stop completely to produce enriched uranium, not just for nuclear bombs, but stop COMPLETELY! Then Israel and USA attacked!!
He does command the - by far - biggest navy in the world. If he can’t fight the war he started to distract from the Epstein files, he calls others, who have nothing to do with it, to do his dirty work and get the blame.

Why? Because the U.S. decommissioned most of its purpose-built minesweepers?

Because Israel and USA run out of ammo if Iran doesn’t surrender soon and then they’re really up shit creek.

Would love for a country to just ask a billion dollar per day, paid in advance, for any help. Art of the deal and all that.

I don’t have a lot of faith that a worm like Kier Starmer won’t fold after Trump yells at him a bit.

You forget that Starmer loves shooting himself in tbe foot and hates good press
Don’t know that much about him, but it would be epically spineless of him if he did.
Starmer ain’t Blair.
Why would they join the war that is already won?
Victory has many fathers. Defeat is a gosh gallop of roping in allies, obscuring facts and blaming Joe Biden.
*gish
To win the war he already won. How is that confusing?
But he just said he doesn’t need them! What happened? Was he wrong?

Then the UK has a problem to deal with as well.
Ready in Canada if our government decides to help Trump out. Don’t care which team he’s on.

My god he is such a fucking idiot. He just insulted them and told them their help wasnt needed. Just a stupid, pathetic, hatefull asshole.
