"In a statement, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the Royal Air Force (RAF) will repel “any airborne attacks within range” of operations in the region.
It is understood RAF jets have flown over Iraq and Syria, not Israel.
PM Rishi Sunak condemned Iran’s “reckless attack”, pledging the UK would “continue to stand up for Israel’s security”. "
Is the UK just cucked by America who are intern cucked by Israel?
I’m not sure I’m in just older now. Take me back to 2009. The we should have moved closer to Europe. The EU had problems, and still has huge problems. Only if we could have a do over.
The UK sells Israel weapons. The US sells Israel weapons. Unlike other countries, Israel pays more reliably. A good salesman looks after their best customers.
Also, it seems that since Israel suffered no significant damage from the attack, they’re not going to retaliate now. So the support worked, because otherwise there probably would have been more than minimal damge to Israel, they would have responded and we’d have open war between Israel and Iran.
Ah, the UK’s under funded, under equipped, understaffed Defence forces, seem to had coddled together a response……in less than 12 hours .
Wtf are they doing? Just stay out of this one.
Yeah, not sure we want to send the message that bombing embassies is okay.
…or that we’ll run to defend a country actively committing atrocities.
But this won’t be framed as an “escalation”. It’s only an escalation when Iran does something.
I suppose the justification is that they are trying to stop this escalating, which could kick off World War 3 (which is A Good Thing) but it doesn’t sit well with Ukraine not getting similar help (presumably also justified by saying they are trying to avoid World War 3). Damned if we do, damned if we don’t.

Well, a lot of people waving Ukrainian flags for the last 2 years are about to learn about the global pecking order.

Have allies before you get invaded, or have nukes.
