Starmer is essentially saying it was TWO decisions:

The First One
An invitation from the Americans to strike Iran aggressively - to which he said, no

The Second One
An invitation from the Americans to strike Iran defensively - to which he said, yes

Such diplomatic sophistry!

That The Orange Baby can be trusted to use a
our facilities in one way and not another anyway...

And I was listening to the LBC US correspondent speaking about UK non-involvement in various US Wars and the one he forgot was the Vietnam War which Wilson refused to join in with...

The UK has a long and honourable tradition prior to Blair (Iraq not Afghanistan) of not getting involved in US Wars unless WE thought it was a good and just thing to do.

And now our servicemen and our bases are under attack!

@Geri
Starmer justified Israeli action in Gaza as
"Israel's right to self defence"

The distinction between "defensive" and "aggressive" will be completely meaningless in a few weeks

His ability to differentiate "defensive" from "agressive" is zero

@OliverNoble @Geri Bloody Israel started it yet again. Starmer just showing he wants to be a war criminal like Blair, Trump and Netenyahu.

@Pamela1960 @OliverNoble

They have invaded Lebanon and started starving Gazans again

@Geri @OliverNoble Yes, always the genocidal maniacs.
