Or Keir doesn't want to make his replacement population angry from his army attacking Iran.

As an American we are not asking the UK or any allies to provide troops on the ground or even in the air, we simply asked the UK to use an air base to fuel up and take off and we were denied. That's fair that's your right we will respect that, it was just a convenience move during our mission at taking down a radical regime but the UK and all of our allies should know even though Trump was upset because China and Russia are watching and taking notes of non corporation between Allied counterparts but we Americans understand that was the liberal PMs decision not the people of UK but just know if in the future you're facing any threats America will always come and defend our allies. we will not stand with the Democratic liberal PM though . In the USA we say we would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.

My son is currently serving in the military. All military personnel who sign up to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces know that occasionally the United States is called upon to "police" abhorrent actions of dictators around the world. The Iranian regime just recently mass murdered almost 40 thousand of its citizens. Isn't it ironic how the Democrats, who keep saying we are all citizens of the world and impoverished illegal immigrants should be able to flow into any Western country unimpeded, suddenly take up a Nationalist mantle and decry our action in Iran because there may be a few American casualties. This is rich coming from politicians who five minutes ago hated traditional America and its longstanding citizens.

There is one thing the USA, as the most important nation and one true global cop whether Americans wish such or not, the USA earned the role of the global cop to uphold western values, is that it should be able count on its traditional allies to atleast politically and diplomatically support it when it is doing something right and for the better of the world. If its supposed allies can't do atleast that, than just STFU and sit quietly aside while real men do the heavy lifting of doing the right thing.🤔
