We should kick them out of the bases here in the UK. They are no longer our allies so why we allow this is beyond me.

I’m guessing the Americans are choosing to ignore Starmer’s instructions that they’re only to use our bases for self defense in the region? None of Trumps threats regarding tonight seem to point towards defensive actions.

Don’t worry guys, they’re just *defensive* heavy bombers being facilitated by our bases. That means we’re definitely not culpable somehow.

Starmer needs to hold this action accountable.

I would love to hear our government explain how ‘wiping out a civilization’ can be characterised as defensive.

We are a spineless, pathetic country who now have a hand in the genocide trump is about to bring down upon the Middle East. Starmer must go.

The UK is responsible for what’s happening if it keeps allowing the US to use its bases to bomb iran

Didn’t we tell them we wont allow them to use our bases to attack Iran? Wtf is going on?

I just don’t understand. If Starmer were to say “no” explicitly to Trump, and he just completely ignored it and used our bases anyway, what could we even do? Fight the Americans to leave our bases? With 60,000 troops or however many we have left? We don’t hold any cards against an America that no longer gives a shit about rules or laws.

I’m so so happy Reddit commenters are not in charge of our foreign policy. Imagine if the world worked as black and white as some people think it does. ‘Just kick them out!’ ‘Talks tough, but doesn’t do anything’. You REALLY want us to be as childish and reactionary as the US to everything? You have to be diplomatic. I’m guessing people will respond to this with incredibly non diplomat responses or ideas that would really hurt the UK.

This is so concerning wtf. What are they doing, I can’t believe this is happening, I mean Trump will chicken out, right?

The USA should have been made a pariah state the day it started on Venezuela. If that wasn’t warning enough then as soon as it became apparent it was shithousing in the Iran treaty negotiatipns (Oman verified the US was deliberately progressing talks only to backstab and move material in to the area, then commencing with unprovoked strikes). The US are unquestionably the bad guys in this situation and we should treat them as such.
Close all US bases on UK soil and impose sanctions on them. Now.

Just saw that a B52 flew out of Prestwick which I think is unusual. Also seems to be a lot of UK Globemasters up over the South West currently.

I thought Starmer said that we’re not getting involved. But in reality we’re assisting the death of a whole civilization. What are we going to do about it? Absolutely nothing.

We really should have spent more on defence over the last 3 decades so we weren’t so beholden to our American masters…
Almost like there’s a faction of us who’s been saying this (to great resistance) for years…
