My post about Trump and the case of Chagos Island/Diego Garcia deal whiplash yesterday?

I didn't think we'd need that bottle of Naproxen so soon.

Holy schamoly MOLY.

UK blocking Trump from using RAF bases for strikes on Iran

Sir Keir Starmer is blocking a request by President Trump to allow American planes to use British bases to attack Iran, telling him that it would be in breach of international law.

In a rift with Washington, the prime minister is understood to have told Trump that the UK would not allow the use of British facilities at Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, which is home to America’s fleet of heavy bombers in Europe.

Under the terms of long-standing agreements with Washington, these bases can only be used for military operations against third countries that have been agreed in advance with the government.

The move prompted Trump on Wednesday to withdraw his support for Starmer’s deal to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.

In a post on his Truth Social site, the president referred to Iran and the role the UK might play in any attack. He also appeared to suggest that UK support would be legal under international law because Iran could potentially strike the UK.

The UK certainly isn't our ally like they used to be.  Any guesses now as to what options Trump has and what he may do?

If our bases in the UK can't be used in our national interest then close them.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Did Trump try asking Poland?

They might be more sympathetic (plus, given their History, they hate Russia's guts, and Iran is Russia's pal)

Starmer should have simply said sorry, but demographics is destiny.

Serious post follows:

Mr. Trump should simply state, "Diego Garcia is now ours".

And let things go at that.

What are the brits gonna do?

(Maybe it's time to give the Falklands back to Argentina. That country is moving right, while britain is "moving muslim" ...)

1.) The UN wants to give Diego Garcia to the Chi-coms ... keep it.
2.) Seize the island of Socotra in the Gulf of Aden ... closer to Iran, guards the entry to the Red Sea, and America doesn't take it, the Chi-coms will.
