For continuing to be the lap dog of the US who is orchestrating and funding Israel to do the US's dirty work is more to the point.

The UK has always been skilful in pretending that the wicked US is the REAL culprit and being in its lap is what a poor dog does! The UK has always fed off the myth that we're the good guys. Meanwhile, IDF soldiers are being trained in the UK, as Ukrainian soldiers were, spy flights from Akrotiri feed food column targets to Netanyahu, and Starmer is planning flights on the ground and boots in the air! Peace doncha know?

Absolutely. Our Establishment has never got over the loss of its Empire, so it now makes sure we are the third partner in the Us-Israel unholy alliance.

Nonsense. Of course we're not the good guys. We're weak and pathetic but the US is the dog and we're the tail. Johnson went to Zelensky to scupper peace but only cos he was told to. We're supporting Ukraine cos we're told to. It's the US's proxy war not ours. Same with the war agaisnt Iran and China.

The word 'skilful' was relevant. A tail hiding 'behind' does not explain all the assistance outlined above, nor the UK-led initiatives like the Kursk invasion, or the recent help given to penetrate the Russian (potentially nuclear) airfields! The Russians know that the UK is gagging for WW3, how else will it save the economy? Starmer has already outlined his plans to invigorate the arms industry! Banking on War by 2028. I think he may have miscalculated the timeline. Defeating Russia has been the UK's ambition since Napoleon or before.

Here’s more recent evidence of how the US has pushed the war onto the EU and UK. US allies must be able to theoretically (though they couldn’t) counteract Russian forces so the US troops can be relocated to Asia Pacific.

Yes, the history of The Great Powers and the great game pits the Brits against Russia, though of course we were allies in WWII when Russia was pivotal in defeating Germany. But it wouldn’t have ever occurred to the UK to pick a fight with Russia without the US backed coup in Ukraine.

I’m not saying the UK is not intimately involved in the conflict but military spending on US weapons (which doesn’t reinvest in society; it helps the US economy not the British one), not to mention war, is against UK interests. Bombs not benefits is already deeply unpopular. The UK wouldn’t have a chance against Russia in an actual war. Everyone knows that. They’d have to wait until the US pivoted back to Russia, by which time the EU’s military would have been boosted (benefiting the US based arms industry). The crawling of craven UK Defence secretary John Healey in front of Hegseth is absolutely disgusting. Healey says we’re going to do ‘Leadership on Ukraine- ALONGSIDE THE US’ as US funding continues; though sometimes via Europe. The UK is used to launder weapons for the US proxy war. All offensive decisions were made by US generals using US intelligence resources. British made Storm Shadows require US intelligence meaning the US' decides what’s going to happen. The British Empire was powerful but it is dead, we’re just another vassal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5B1o7E5A5o

Starmer is doing exactly what the US told him to. Up military spending and buy US weapons such as Anduril. The economy won’t be saved by military spending. Yes the UK helps out in the US’s proxy war, that doesn’t mean the war is ‘led’ by them. Here’s Hegseth telling the UK exactly what is expected of her plus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLg9iFg7icA&t=894s

Starmer may be trying to sell military spending and jobs in the way that Trump claimed it will bring manufacturing back to the US. It ain't gonna happen in the UK, it's too expensive to make things here.

The UK economy doesn't need saving- it's pretty buoyant. The cost of living and energy crisis was caused by greed of, mostly US, companies quadrupling the price of gas with the excuse of the Russian SMO.

Well I was not but I do now have a Raging Dislike of Netanyahu his Kneset his murdering IDF and the Stolen Land of Palestine they have no right to call Israel. If the West’ Leaders ie The NATO Alliance and America do not put A Stop to The 21st Century’s Nazi’ in two lands The World Will End. The Governments of these lands are Despots Starmer Trump Macron and the Warmongers of NATO Madmen back both to the Hilt The Hitler of the Zionist’ and every Jew who supports His Terror Regime the same is applicable to Zelensky a TV presenter and comedian shoehorned into power by the US UK the EU and NATO. All the Leaders from these Countries and Administration’ tell us via their Lies and 24/7 Propaganda News Channels that Vladimir Putin and Russia are a threat to World Peace aye Right Liars. It is as plain as the nose on our faces who the Threat to World Peace is and it’s Not Russia it’s The NATO and Western Alliance and The Insane Nazi Regime Ruling The Palestinian Land they illegally Named Israel.

'dragged in' is right out of the propaganda script.

Agreed. All the BS about talks, was just that; BS and just at the 'right' time, the tide is turning against Israel, Netanyahoo's time is over and it was all so obvious what was going to happen.

The world is poised on a knife edge, a general (non-nuclear) war would suit the imperialists. It would chow a lot of surplus capital, hopefully take out any competitors to the US. As Brian Berletic says:

"▪️Iran can retaliate and give US the war it desperately seeks to provoke, although will likely continue striking Iran regardless, it's out of time and all bets are off

/../

"▪️Russia and China are next - it will not stop at Iran, the goal of striking Iran is to create the conditions to further encircle and contain Russia and China"

However, can you name anyone in Trump's cabinet who is not a ZioNazi? How many U.S. congressmen aren't owned by AIPAC or dare to criticize IsraHell? I think Parliament is pretty similar. So, the question of who the attack dog is and who is the master is somewhat irrelevant when it comes to explaining IsraHell's immunity.

Agree, it makes no difference to those at the receiving end but I think it does make a difference when it comes to us, the people, because at the end of the day, a mass uprising by the people globally needs to know who to attack… it’s not about guilt, it’s about eradication🙂

We don't need to know who. We simply insist on our founding principles and documents. We have the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The UK has the Magna Carta and some other stuff. Simply insist on our rules being followed. It will immediately become clear who needs to be fought.

People didn't think the critical theory academia spent the last 30-40 years undermining the ideals behind these documents for nothing, did they? They are the best bulwark against this ethonoreligious fascist state "Israel", against our countries supporting "Israel", and for the Palestinians', Lebanese', Syrians', Iranians', Yemenis' etc rights to self-determination, that the world has ever seen. The philosophical logic is rock solid. Of course these documents and their ideals had to go, by being slandered and smeared as worthless.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwWVfesLYuk

"Who's on First?" from The Abbott and Costello Show (1953)

"294,750 views May 12, 2022

Abbott and Costello performed "Who's on First?" numerous times in their careers, rarely performing it exactly the same way twice. They did the routine for President Franklin Roosevelt several times.

"An abridged version was featured in the team's 1940 film debut, One Night in the Tropics. The duo reprised the bit in their 1945 film The Naughty Nineties, and it is that longer version which is considered their finest recorded rendition.

"They also performed "Who's on First?" numerous times on radio and television (notably in The Abbott and Costello Show episode "The Actor's Home", widely considered the definitive version, which is shown here)."

Any questions? Any answers?

Laura you have certainly caught the gist of the Lunatics decisions, we seem to have several LUNATICS as political leaders don’t we? Who voted for them?

All love Trump!

Despite Irans reputation , it has kept its cool for sometime now even when Israel throws the odd bomb or two or three killing Iranians & politicians & Generals….at least Starmer & Lammy are still supplying Israel with weapons which are probably the ones that killed innocent Iranians today & THAT was Israel’s big mistake!

See ya when the Supreme Leader tells US it's okay to mingle amongst ourselves....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Leader_of_Iran

"The supreme leader of Iran,[note 1] also referred to as the supreme leader of the Islamic Revolution,[2][note 2] but officially called the supreme leadership authority,[note 3] is the head of state and the highest political and religious authority of Iran (above the president). The armed forces, judiciary, state radio and television, and other key government organizations such as the Guardian Council and Expediency Discernment Council are subject to the supreme leader.[3][4]

"According to the constitution, the supreme leader delineates the general policies of the Islamic Republic (article 110), supervising the legislature, the judiciary, and the executive branches (article 57).[5]

"The current lifetime officeholder, Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khameneh known as Ali Khamenei, has issued decrees and made the final decisions on the economy, the environment, foreign policy, education, national planning, and other aspects of governance in Iran.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Khamenei also makes the final decisions on the amount of transparency in elections,[14] and has dismissed and reinstated presidential cabinet appointees.[15]..."

(When I'm not an inbred barbarian I often seek out the wonders of Persian civilization left to the rest of US in creative writings and essays, musical forms, culture and cuisine along with film and stage works. There is a lot there worth looking into and listening to....From antiquity clear up to the latest screenings:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdd2r4y6nv8o

"An Iranian filmmaker has been cheered at home after winning Cannes Film Festival's top prize."

"Jafar Panahi touched down in Tehran's international airport on Monday, two days after his Palme d'Or victory for revenge thriller It Was Just Accident."

"Panahi has been imprisoned multiple times in Iran, most recently for protesting the detention of filmmakers criticising the authorities. This was his first visit to Cannes in 15 years, where his films have been shown in his absence due to a travel ban."

"His winning film depicted torture in Iranian jails and ignited a back-and-forth between French and Iranian officials.")

"Ali Khamenei"

"...The office was established by the Constitution of Iran in 1979, pursuant to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's concept of the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist,[16] and is a lifetime appointment.[17] Originally the constitution required the supreme leader to be Marja'-e taqlid, the highest-ranking cleric in the religious laws of Usuli Twelver Shia Islam. In 1989, however, the constitution was amended and simply asked for Islamic "scholarship" to allow the supreme leader to be a lower-ranking cleric.[18][19] As the Guardian Jurist (Vali-ye faqih), the supreme leader guides the country, protecting it from heresy and imperialist predations, and ensuring the laws of Islam are followed."

"The style "Supreme Leader" (Persian: رهبر معظم, romanized: rahbar-e mo'azzam) is commonly used as a sign of respect although the Constitution designates them simply as "Leader" (رهبر, rahbar). According to the constitution (Article 111), the Assembly of Experts is tasked with electing (following Ayatollah Khomeini), supervising, and dismissing the supreme leader. In practice, the Assembly has never been known to challenge or otherwise publicly oversee any of the supreme leader's decisions[20] (all of its meetings and notes are strictly confidential).[21] "

"Members of the Assembly are elected by people in elections, and are approved by bodies (the Guardian Council) whose members are appointed by the supreme leader or appointed by an individual (Chief Justice of Iran) appointed by the supreme leader."

"In its history, the Islamic Republic of Iran has had only two supreme leaders: Khomeini, who held the position from 1979 until his death in 1989 and Ali Khamenei, who has held the position for more than 35 years since Khomeini's death."
