I pretty much agrree with everything there Lori. I was not happy when we went into gulf war 2 (gulf war 1 was a liberation so not disputing that) it always seemed a flimsy pretense about WMD's and we were right to call it out. Was an absoloute shambles costing the lives of thousands. Here we are again, gulf war 3 except Trump thinks he can topple a regime just by bombing from above. When has that ever worked? Look how destabilised the gulf is right now. Israel and it's puppet Trump are the agressors here. We know it's about oil Donald just as it was in Venezuela.
If he wants to fight then pick a justified one, Ukraine needs our help so badly and theirs is a just fight.
Is Iran a terrible and viscous state? Yes, of course it is but so are many other states. You can't go around arbitrarily attacking one state because it has oil and ignore all the other attrocities.
Iran, like it or loathe it, is a sovereign nation (as was Venezuela for the record). They have the right to choose their own destiny. If they choose to build nuclear weapons then I would rather they didn't but who am I to argue when my country developed them? If it's about dangerous countries having nukes then how on earth has North Korea not been invaded? Israel has nukes and Iran is living under the fear of that so is it any wonder they want their own as a deterrent?
The UK has for once decided not to be at the beck and call of every US president and I'm proud of our goverments stance. Trump says he's unhappy with the UK and insulted Starmer. Good, that means we are doing something right! For the record, insulting Starmer is our job!
Sorry, you touched a nerve there Lori! Rant over. Bloody politicans!
