    Geez you cute .ml weirdos, there’s billion of reasons to hate the UK and Kid Starver - no need to misinterpret the statement, it clearly doesn’t say what you put in the title >_<. Truth matters tbh.

      that’s very clearly the UK participating in the war:

      Our forces are active and British planes are in the sky today as part of coordinated regional defensive operations to protect our people, our interests, and our allies - as Britain has done before, in line with international law.

        This does not say they’re joining the “war of aggression against Iran”. Shooting down Iranian missiles doesn’t equal strikes on Iranian territory.

        Maybe it counts as participation in some way, but the title completely twists this. I thought they were going to bomb Iran before clicking and reading starver’s bullshit.

          They are letting the US use their bases to launch attacks on Iran because Iran hit US bases in the gulf. If Iran responds defensively by attacking British bases used to launch attacks on it, Britain will use that as an excuse to formally join the war.

          They’re very much a participant in the war. That’s what joining the war means. You don’t have to take offensive action to be a participant in a conflict.
