the americans should want some european help.....to enforce a blockade of iran. it's silly to suggest otherwise.

...but only the british really have a navy worth seriously deploying for this task. 

i need to reiterate the importance of using arab troops, as this is their war. but the british have a navy, and the navy is already there. they are sending something after all, apparently. but washington is right to have ruffled feathers over this and those backroom deal makers in london should be thinking this through.

starmer's days may very well be numbered. it would be a last straw rather than a direct cause, but he's probably done.
