Comment on US envoy to Israel taunts Keir Starmer and likens Gaza assault to Dresden bombing

TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

The Same Starmer who is increasing military funding, as well as support for Ukraine?

The same Starmer who is signing defence pacts with allies like the Nordic countries, Germany, and others?

The same Starmer who appears keen to expand various naval projects, as well as the GCAP, to like-minded allies like Canada and Australia?

The Same Starmer who has increased resources towards GCAP (UK, Italy, and Japan’s joint 6th gen jet fighter project, which is significantly further ahead than the US’s and France/Germany/Spain’s 6th gen fighter projects)?

The same Starmer who’s overseen the Royal Navy successfully prevent attacks from Houthi terror groups attacking and boarding civilian ships bound for Europe?

The same Starmer who, after Iran threatened to attack UK bases, warned them not to, and they immediately backed down?

Starmer and his team actually seems pretty competent on defence.

This is just dumb posturing from a deranged Republican.
