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
*god
*gop
To win the war he already won. How is that confusing?
Because Ghislane Maxwell says so.
But he just said he doesn’t need them! What happened? Was he wrong?
“It’s both”
Many such cases.
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.
And sadly watch the UK cave cause no one stands up President Lumpty Trumpty.
Spain has entered the chat, at least symbolically
Meh at this point I feel like this isn’t incompetence but calculated malice, he’s doing everything Putin wants to great effect. He’s basically dismantling America.
I thought he didn’t need our ships for a war 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.
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.
We should really call a vote of non confidence if they do. Regime change should always start at home.
It’s still a minority government.
Those wealthy elites know a thing or two about class solidarity. It means a few hundred extra poors to the chopping block, they’ll take it!
“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!”
Huh.
Does he mean the strait that is only insecure because HE made it insecure ? Good job by the way !
because HE made it insecure
i dont think the water is lacking confidence, you make it sound like trump is bullying a geographical feature and hurting its feelings
But would nobody think of our water?!
“We don’t need your ships”
24 hours later…
“Please send your ships”
“BTW, we already won the war, but please help”
Dear UK, do not help pedophile rapist out!
- America
We don’t have any ships anyway because the prior government gutted the military, just because. They’re looking very stupid right now.
It turns out that non of the military powers are much of a threat.
You mean the series of tory PMs who were backed by Russian money…
Yeah, I wonder why they’d do that?
The infinite might of the United States is unable to hold and defend a 24-mile wide body of water.
Think about that for a second.
“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 United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the greatest of them all”
Daddy Bibi gonna be mad about this one.
You think Bibi doesn’t know, nd love the fact, that Trump is an idiot?
"I want Greenland! Give me Greenland, or I’ll go to war with Europe! Give me what I want OR ELSE! "
3 months later:
“You better help me save face from my virtuosically incompetent war strategy OR ELSE!”
I’m starting to think he was never very good at the businesses and the strategies all along!
I don’t have a lot of faith that a worm like Kier Starmer won’t fold after Trump yells at him a bit.
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.
You forget that Starmer loves shooting himself in tbe foot and hates good press
And he could try the whole “no elections during wartime” strategy if he really wants to end up even more hates than he already is
There’s speculation that that is something Trump and the Republicans are after, with some evidence to support that theory.
There’s zero evidence to support New Labour will attempt the same. This is just tin foil pulled out your arse conspiracy, which aids nobody but the fascists. Don’t let the bastards win, don’t spread unfounded conspiracies.
Only two elections have ever been cancelled in our history, both during world wars. Both times the ruling party didn’t keep control but instead a coalition government of varying parties was formed. The strategy of cancelling elections to keep power in the UK therefore doesn’t work, has no evidence to support it, and the ruling party don’t have the public support to even attempt let alone pull off.

There is no way the Lords would allow that, nevermind the King. We are a consitutional monarchy. The buck doesn’t stop at Starmer.
In fact, I doubt even Starmer’s own MPs would follow such a whip
His domestic politics have been a disaster, but his international stuff has been pretty damn good. Mostly…
I take that back, the government’s position on Israel/Gaza is a disgusting… Apart from that though!
The bad domestic policies he quietly tended to walk back a bit, like the whole mandatory ID thing
Don’t know that much about him, but it would be epically spineless of him if he did.
after trump just threatened all of EU for not supporting him too.
Starmer ain’t Blair.
He can’t afford to fold. He’s close to finished as it is, siding with trump would be the last straw.
