The morbidly obese draft-dodging geriatric pedophile wants to spite UK PM Keir Starmer because he refused to allow the US to use the military base on Diego Garcia to carry out strikes for its illegal war against Iran on behalf of Israel which is now bankrupting the American economy and causing acute global fuel shortages. The UK initially planned to cede the islands to Mauritius and then over 99 years pay approximately $46.7bn to lease back the Diego Garcia military base.

"Hey, Donald, how could you do this to us? I thought we were friends!"

Britain just needs to wait a little longer, and we can scatter Trump's ashes in the Chagos Islands.

I was on Diego Garcia one Christmas doing a USO show. At the time, it was like a South Pacific scene from WWII; tin huts, and little but jungle and a million coconut crabs (that would go after achilles heels). Azure seas, beautiful lagoon ...

Small world story:

One of the 100 Navy SeaBees who'd just completed the runway was a guy I grew up with. A very nice Christmas surprise. The southern sky was bursting with stars since there was no light pollution. One of the most memorable experiences of my life so far.
