  1. No pressure, he said our aircraft carriers were toys and that he didn’t want the UK joining the war he’s already won.

  2. sensible, responsible, rational decision, best decision for the people of the UK!!

    Bear in mind, if this was the hypocritical, manipulative cunts the Tories or brown nosed Farage we’d be in deep from day one to please Galactic Emperor Trump, then complaining later how we’re being bombed by angry brown people. . .

  3. The US can apply as much pressure as they like. Starmer joins the war and there will be millions on the streets protesting. Including me.

    The orange painted demented shitgibbon can go fuck himself and shove his illegal war where the sun doesn’t shine.

    Starmer, stand tall and don’t let the bully in the White House intimidate you! Go, Starmer, go! Go, UK, go!

  5. Good job. Let’s not help in war crimes. Anyway as trump said, our crafts are all paper

    This is the advantage of a system that allows easy ousting of a leader… they actually have to be somewhat accountable.

    Illegal war, it’s in every countries best interest to not join it at all. Unless you want to be proven to be a vassal state of the U.S.

    Someone should just come out and call out Trump for being an attention seeking narcissist, like he is. I don’t see how that would do any more damage, but could lend a reasoning why he isn’t taken all that seriously or replied to. Some honesty, please.

  9. Let the Americans suffer alone. They’re constantly shitting on their allies. Elect stupid, reap stupid.

  11. When is the last time the UK declined to tag along on a US military adventure?

    Then again, they are still letting US bombers fly from their territory, so, yeah, they’re not *all the way* out.

  12. Nato is now more about supporting US madness than defend each other.

    What is the point for Europe ?

    but if you give your bases for military use is technically participating in the war no?

  14. good. Asda Manager has many faults but I hope he stands strong on this one.

    NOT OUR WAR.

  15. The funny part is even if and after helping, the us administration would start saying stupid shit about the UK again disregarding all the help they got, not sure it will be acknowledged later either.

    Every time Starmer says this he gets good headlines. He should just keep saying it over and over, because it might just be keeping him in a job.

  17. If Europe were to join this war and invading Iran is the death trap everyone says it we would lose people, resources, money for nothing. Leaving us more vulnerable to attacks and blackmail.

    If Europe were to join and be very successful Iran could go scorched earth on middle east oil production facilities, crippling our economy.

    We can only hurt ourselves by joining.

  18. With how trump is talking & behaving regarding the UK & NATO we should not only “not be joining” the war we should be applying counter pressure and revoking USA’s welcome permits to use our bases until the orange nonce grows up or moves to his jail cell.

  19. Obviously a good stance, but he has allowed the US to use our bases to bomb Iran, so technically we are involved

    Starmer has figured out that this is the most popular thing he’s done since Labour came to power. Thank fuck for that.

  21. CryptographerMore944 on

    I haven’t agreed with a lot of what he’s done but I agree with Starmer on this keep us out of this mess

  22. Of course not. Trump can stop badgering Europeans to join his war of choice in the Middle East because it really has nothing do with us at all. It’s not a NATO matter, Iran is a problem but hardly an exestential one for Europe, the disruptions are ruining our economies but other parts of the world are being hurt even worse.

    And on a personal note, the Trump regime described the EU as a foe to the US, which most European countries are a part of. I would say it’s pretty shameless of Trump to expect Europe to ride or die with the US on whatever, but then again Trump has no shame.

    Problem is, Trump will likely just walk away from the mess he’s created. America are the least affected by this (in fact they may even gain from higher oil prices)

    Europe may have to go in and try and fix things. I’m not sure things will ever go back to how they were, Iran will be pissed off right now.
