Keir Starmer has demanded that the Iranian regime ends retaliatory strikes on neighbours in the Middle East in response to a pre-emptive attack by the US and Israel
nigga what
Now I know why its called The Onion
The joke is the layers of sarcasm
“preemptive regime change strike” by itself is already making my head spin lol
A: “Today I saw some psychopaths bombing the shit out of some kids…”
B: “So, did you do anything to help??”
A: “Sure I did! You should have seen how we destroyed those kids…”You’ve still not managed to state now we are defending the US. We are defending ourselves.
What am I missing here? The UK is just saying to Iran don’t fire missiles at countries that haven’t been involved in firing missiles at you.
That’s sensible.
They’re attacking valid US military bases in said countries. Are you that oblivious or just running Zionist propaganda on purpose?
It’s not defence when you’re on the side that attacked, Starmer, you worm.
In what way are we on the US’s side?
By defending US military bases?
Fuck me, this response genuinely makes me feel less safe in the UK. What the fuck does the orange paedophile have to do before this utter prick stops siding with him.
So Israel and the US attacked Iran. Iran then fired back, the UK now is dogpiling Iran because they are firing back?
“Don’t defend yourself! Just lie back and let it happen.”
Not everything is defending yourself. Revenge killing civilians doesn’t suddenly become ok because your civilians died. Military bases are fair game, but it seems more than that is happening…
uk crawled all the way inside trumps diaper quite a while back, did you not notice that ?
That is a disgusting image. As an Anglophile I am sad as fuck at the state of England.
Israeli military bombs another school (wtf is their hard on for schools in general. They either want to kill them or fiddle with them)
Trump (the biggest terrorist in the world at the minute) declares that he wants to take out the terrorists.
And the UK joins in. On their side.
Fuck off.
wtf is their hard on for schools in general
Zionists are cruel on purpose because their intention is to generate widespread hatred of Judaism in the region, to justify internally that “we’re only invading them because they’re antisemitic and dangerous to us”.
Provokation and emotional response.
In my mind that would be the main reason why. An sane population wouldn’t stand for their children to get killed and you do nothing. It forces your opponent into action and you can exploit that action.
With some infrastructure and certain targets a response can be delayed. Mass civilian/children casualties mean an immediate retaliation is in order or your population revolts to make one happen.
You see it in Palestine; people with nothing to lose become beligerant. You kill their kids they attack viciously. Much easier to attempt to justify fighting a “vicious rabbid opponent” than a defense less peaceful one. However, if they go the opposite end and attempt peace and calm, they are easy to mow down
Makes sense.
The actual act of what they did wouldn’t even register with them.
If you are housing US or Israel military you are part of the attack. It’s as simple as that.
If you’re a human, I blame your species for this.
- every non-human species
Yup, this is seriously heading towards a World War.
That’s an insane claim. Nobody will help Iran. Iran has no real friends, not even Russia.
Who fighting who?
Iran alone fighting multiple powers, that each are more powerful than Iran by themselves.
@madmadbunny@lemmy.ca vs your mum
Yep, that indeed looks like we are heading towards a world war.
Thanks for clearing up the statement by MadMadBunny, and prove the stupidity of it. 🤣
Did anyone here actually read what he said, or just reading the headline and jumping to their own conclusion that the UK is joining in on the attacks?
Reading the article, we didn’t on reddit and we ain’t gonna start now!
Is there really an applicable difference between joining in on the attack and defending the person doing the attacking? That’s like holding someone’s hands behind their back while someone else punches them. For all intents and purposes you are part of the attack.
It doesn’t say the UK is defending Israel, it says defending allies.
Defending Bahrain or Jordan from incoming missiles is completely different to attacking Iran.
We are absolutely not defending the US. Think about it. Why would the world’s largest military need the UK to defend them?
The UK is stopping Iran firing missiles are countries that aren’t involved.
The bully rarely needs the lackey to hold the victim’s arms. But the lackey knows its the best way to keep the bully from turning on them.
Also who are these innocent countries?
The US turned on us a long time ago. Our PM has been very clear that the attack on Iran is not legal.
Iran has already launched a missile towards Cyprus. Tell me, how were they involved?
Tell that to Starmer because he certainly doesn’t act like it.
Why bring up Cyprus? I thought we were talking of innocent countries.
WTF
The EU’s response has been shameful, but at least it hasn’t put us on the side of the aggressors
The imperial dog is out for its masters
So, Netanyahu and Trump are lighting the fuse and the UK and others have to help to clean up the mess those morons created.
Wtf?
