Trump’s renewed criticism of the Chagos deal is reportedly because he is being blocked from using UK bases for a strike on Iran.
Donald Trump has withdrawn his backing for Sir Keir Starmer’s Chagos Islands deal because he has not received UK approval to use its military bases for a US strike on Iran, it has been reported.
The US president attacked the agreement to hand sovereignty of the islands to Mauritius and lease back the Diego Garcia joint UK-US military base as “a big mistake”.
His latest U-turn on his previous support for the deal is because of the UK Government’s refusal to give the White House the green light to use the Diego Garcia base or RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire for a potential military campaign against Iran, according to the Times.
There is nothing that would prevent our lawmakers from doing what Israel tells it to, blackmail of them fucking children and whatever else, it finally explains a lot, and Israel isn’t really hiding it anymore, they are reveling in taking the mask off.
As soon as they start the forever war, Israel will find endless excuses to go back in, bomb this, assassinate that. Weapons programs, terrorists, whatever excuses they come up with. This will never end, and that’s the idea, Israel’s governmental leaders want to forestall elections and a reckoning as they’ve decided that the politicians that failed should stay in power to deal with the fall out from that failure despite not admitting fault and blaming others.
The rest of their governmet, appointed by their politicians, supremely corrupt and unilateral for 25 years when the semblance of a left collapsed, either believes those politicians or pretends to because they think they will benefit. They revel in their absolute military advantage, able to bomb any of their neighbors with near impunity, as they are unable to well respond if at all, and backed by the US that they’ve compromised so thoroughly they are almost openly showing off being the ones calling the shots ordering the US around. The UK is owned by Israel too, make no mistake, they just have to kowtow to their citizens more in their anti war sentiment more, for now.
