UK's Starmer says UK will not join US/Israel strikes on Iran

What an ally! Those Europeans are some allies, aren't they?

Sir Keir Starmer has defended the decision not to join in the US-Israeli strikes on Iran at the weekend, after Donald Trump said he was “very disappointed”.
“President Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved in the initial strikes, but it is my duty to judge what is in Britain’s national interest. That is what I’ve done, and I stand by it,” he said.
quote:
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, the US president said Starmer “took far too long” to change his mind to allow them to use bases such as the Chagos Islands to conduct strikes.
He said: “That’s probably never happened between our countries before.
“It sounds like he was worried about the legality.”
quote:
Other MPs have called on Starmer to fully support Trump’s action against Iran, after an attack on a Royal Air Force airfield in Cyprus where an “unmanned drone” hit the runway at RAF Akrotiri.
Around 300,000 Britons are believed to be in countries targeted by Iran, with 102,000 registered with the Foreign Office for updates as officials examine all options, including a potential mass evacuation.

That's because if he did, the millions of muslims in his country might turn on them.
The british would be overwhelmed in short order just from the muslims already in their country.

Goodness. What will we do without all that UK military might?
The last time they mattered, Prince Harry was flying helos.
That’s a comment on both timing and “mattered”.

Britain will be a real big loser in this adventure in Iran and Starmer knows it.

They have let their military degrade so much they probably lack the ability to strike.
You fight a defense only war and you lose. Of course he knows the US and Israel will carry the fight.
Even the Greeks have done more.

We need to make sure post war that they get zero business deals with reconstruction and prosperity in Iran.
We don’t need them but its telling they said no and what they have become. Amazing to see after all the lives they sacrificed in WW2 and now they are just another island on the map. And not even a tropical one at that

The amount of homegrown terror attacks that would occur in London would be ridiculous. The UK, France and Germany are forced to sit this out due to their own immigration policies.
The EU will be dominated by Islam within 2 decades. It’s over for Europe.

What’s funny is that Britain’s military and intelligence establishments are Really hot for war with Russia. If we were hitting Moscow, Starmer would piss himself with excitement.

No shite they arent helping. If the UK doesn't have ships that float they certainly don't have planes that can fly.

This is what appeasing the Muslims taking over your country looks like.

Even after this? :
From Grok:
quote:
An Iranian drone (likely a Shahed-type one-way attack drone) struck RAF Akrotiri, the UK's main permanent military base in Cyprus (a Sovereign Base Area). This occurred overnight on March 1-2, 2026, causing limited damage to the runway but no casualties. Additional drones targeting the base were intercepted. This marks the first direct strike on a British military facility in this conflict and the first such attack on RAF Akrotiri since 1986.

In maintaining Israel as our primary ally in that hemisphere of the world, that's one thing we don't have to worry about. They're not going to be potentially overwhelmed from within by Islam, to the point that it gives them pause on geopolitics.

Wait until Trump says that he has to put the interest of US citizens first. See how the euros and media cry

This is what we have been waiting to see.

Did we ask them to join? Unlike Europe we actually handle our own business.
