US President Trump has accused UK Prime Minister Starmer of seeking to "join wars after we've already won" and says that "we don't need" UK aircraft carriers

The comments, posted on Trump's Truth Social platform, come after the BBC learned that UK aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales has been placed on advanced readiness

B-1 bomber jets were earlier seen landing at RAF Fairford after the UK allowed the US to use its military bases for defensive strikes on Iranian missile strikes. Starmer decided not to join the initial US-Israel strikes on Iran

1. Starmer should take this off-ramp that Trump so generously offered

2. So, once again Labour

Has sided with the Tories? What is Starmer’s game?

5. We have airbases on Cyprus. There have been drone attacks.

The UK aircraft stationed there have been doing their best to intercept any attacks, but there's a limit to how long they can hold out, and the Cypriots are getting restless because they see the base as attracting danger, so it might lead to their kicking the UK out. So sending an aircraft carrier group to the region might make it look like the UK's at least doing something.

Of course, it could lead to mission creep, but I don't think there's any appetite for playing "me too" with the UK's cruise missiles this time, unlike in the past in the Middle East.

That's if the carrier is actually deployed - I don't think a decision's been taken yet.

8. Thanks for the context

9. Well, I'm not entirely letting Starmer off the hook -

he is known for his U-turns, after all - but the public backlash if he gets us embroiled more than we already are would probably be the end of his tenure.

3. So we've won and the war is over????????????????????????????????

4. If we've already won, stop the bombing

6. I hate to partially agree with a demented pedo but

Starmer seems a little out of his depth when dealing with this particular demented pedo.

"I'm not committing any forces in this illegal action until there's a plan in place"
"Fuck you"
"Ok. Here's an aircraft carrier"
" I said fuck you."

7. If we already won it, bring the ships and planes home, have a military parade with Private

Bonespurs leading it and let him award himself with the Medal of Honor. He can even invite himself to the White House to honor himself.

After all, that's what he did with the Men's Hockey team.
