Many Brits still don't forgive ex-PM Tony Blair to this day for convincing his countrymen to needlessly attack Iraq in 2003 in support of "Dubya's" quixotic WMD hunt. Islamophobe Tony Blair looks down upon the Arabs and Dubya is an evangelist Christian, so both of them attacking Muslims and then giving out lucrative post-war contracts made sense. Tony Blair is ready again to interfere in the Middle East as the "Viceroy" for Gaza reconstruction. Dummkopf Trumpf announced it like "hey, I just called Tony Blair and he said he was free," but Blair was in the works for that position for years.

Now the US again wants the UK to help attack another Muslim nation over WMDs, this time Iran. Glad the Brits said no.

Canada, France, the UK, and Australia all finally recognized the State of Palestine last year because AIPAC has less influence in those four countries than the US. The same applies for attacking Iran.

www.theguardian.com

... Britain has suspended the sharing of intelligence with the US on suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean amid concerns information supplied may be used to engage in lethal military strikes by American forces.

Such a decision -- a rare rupture between the normally close military allies -- would indicate that the UK does not believe the Trump administration's controversial practice of sinking boats allegedly used by drug traffickers is legal. ...

Iran is not America's enemy, we invaded Saddam's Iraq pretending that he had something to do with 9/11, and we are going to attack and kill Iranians because...we want to steal their oil again.
Well, that and the fact that Israel has somehow become our 51st state and its apartheid policies are now our policies.

Oh that's terrible we should really get some bases that are a lot closer. God that could take us decades though.
