Sensitive_Echo5058 on January 3, 2026 11:28 pm The timing of this is very interesting. Presumably, Keir would have known about these planned attacks when he gave the interview about Venezuela. So, were both decisions made independently, without influence from US–UK intelligence sharing? I think this is a critical question Keir will have to answer as it reveals a lot about our current relationship with our allies.

Astriania on January 3, 2026 11:53 pm We shouldn’t be doing this if we weren’t asked to do so by the government of Syria.
BMW_wulfi on January 4, 2026 12:12 am So this is why Starmer looked so awkward when he had to publicly condemn the Americans bombing Venezuela… 😬 Everyone’s getting the spicy freedom tubes this new year!! Defence industry bigwigs all showering each others balls with champagne. EDIT: now he’s saying he supports it. FML. 🤡
yer-what on January 4, 2026 12:19 am But muh international law!? Shouldn’t we have just written a strongly worded letter to them.
