    Trump continues his regression from man-child via man-foetus to man-bubble-in-his-father’s-ball-bag

    Donald Trump has said he is “surprised” that US allies in the Gulf have been targeted by Iran, in an interview with NBC News.

    The president called these countries “terrific”, adding that “they got shot at unnecessarily.” When talking about Iran’s decision to target them, Trump said it was “the biggest surprise I had of this whole thing.”

    For decades, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Oman have allowed US military bases, infrastructure or access on their soil, and have been among the largest buyers of American weapons and technology

    Unbelievable, almost :unsure:

    The last thing we should ever do is help Trump win an illegal war. We should tell him straight that we do NOT support illegal wars and we will only DEFEND our own interests. As for provoking Iran, that would be madness.

    It must be remembered that Iran has not attacked any other country. It is ALWAYS Isreal and the USA that start wars.

    Last sunner Iran was about to sign an agreement that resolved the nuclear issue. Israel then attacked Iran to stop it. Just before Trump started this war, the Iranians were in Switzerland ready to agree another deal. Trump does not want peace; demanding the Nobel Peace prize is about absurd as it gets.

    The worry for this country is that Reform and Farage et al are fully supportive of Trump and plan to put his policies into practice in the UK.

    It is about time we stood up to Israel by not supporting this awful country. The genocide in Gaza is really beyond comprehension.

    I would ask should we allow Iran to attack Cyprus base?all this pro Iran cobblers (and I am not aiming it at all the people on here) but the tits out on the streets after these lot butchered their own
    To answer your question if we (or bases are attacked) you have to responded even though I hate thought of your lives being lost but what do I know?
    At what point would you think enough is enough if bases personnel are attacked

    We have sent HMS Dragon to help defend Cyprus.

    There is an enormous difference between defence and attack, not least legally.

    Trump wants help to reopen Hormuz because the entirely foreseeable oil price spike is an immediate and noticeable consequence and an especially huge problem to his voters on the lower end of the economic ladder.

    No amount of propaganda will convince anyone but the most gullible that the oil price spike and associated consequences that the blame lies entirely with him and his buddy Netanyahu for starting this.

    Just to confirm, then, you want more British servicemen and servicewomen to risk their lives in an illegal war started by Netanyahu because he needs to keep himself out of prison and Trump because he wants a diversion from the Epstein files. And you want us to go running as soon as the US president clicks his fingers, no matter what the situation.

    Great stance. Very patriotic.

    Again glad you are making up what I am saying which you do a lot of, read digest and try not to play silly games, I said one of our bases were attacked down we just let them have that as a freebie?
    Again and I will type it slowly so you can understand no I did not want us following in America but once the base was attacked I think you need to stand up for those service people.
    Hope that’s made it clear
    No to troops till we were attack, call it very patriotic if you like, I wish you good evening as am getting excited as spurs are getting beat again
    Over and out rwnj :wacko:
