That is the last thing we need, Europe is infected with islamists to a greater degree than the UK Germany and France have pretty much fallen as have Belgium and Holland.

Only Poland has set a decent example hats off to them for that.

Europe is finished, largely due to internal factors.

No, Iran did not attack UK bases before the UK allowed the Americans to launch strikes on Iran from there.

The UK is now the aggressor.

Drones were launched at RAF Akrotiri before the announcement. 300 British servicemen were targeted in Manama by a missile strike before the announcement. The UK authorisation is very specific in terms of target.

The Drones were likely fired from Gaza to hit Cyprus from the usual suspects or Houti rebels it certainly wasn't Iran.

Nope, not the case. You contradict yourself, by stating "likely" from Lebanon/Yemen. but "certainly" not from Iran. The attack followed to ballistic missile launches.

So you are not entirely certain the drones might have come from Lebanon or Yemn, but don't offer an alternative.

As the headline say's likely a iran linked country.

I use different primary sources, not Youtubers. You've posted a fairly low value link to a video which is basically a camera plonked outside of the main base gates, zero commentary, zero analysis. I suspect you were suckered by the Youtube thumbnail, and didn't actually bother to look at the link.

The worse is yet to come for Europe, for all the gentiles. Turkey will be next. Eventually Europeans will be exterminated by a another world war. The chosen ones are following a 2 000 years old script. They are waiting for their Messiah and this period of attack on humanity in all fronts is part of their agenda. Agenda 2030?

Aggressor Strikes.

No. Iran is targeting Cyprus, the RAF base in Bahrain, non military/non combatant locations such as hotels and airports in the UAE, Qatar and Bahrain. The UK has 250,000+ nationals who are at risk and who are being targeted. The UK also has defense protection agreements with Bahrain, UAE and a military obligation to Cyprus. There was no hostile activity against Iran from these locations. Iran is doing what it said it would always do when it repeatedly threatened its neighbors over the past 40+ years. The UK has a LEGAL obligation to defend and to protect is people and its assets.

You are obviously not emotionally stable. If you need to blame someone for your current position in life, look in the mirror, and deal with what you see. Change yourself.

Try to get your one track mind to focus on things other than Trump

The best way to avoid WW3 is for the rest of the world to stay out of the illegal Israeli/US war on Iran.

2000 years? So is that the Mashiacha, a second coming or a Mahdi (allowing for the fact that Islam is about 1400 years and change old), followed by Jesus to finish off the Dajjal.

Sounds like you are a follower of a Sky Fairy. Curious use of the term "Gentiles". Anti-semitic much?

It is all in front of you but I guess you can not figure out, can you? I am talking about Trump's spiritual guide. You know that one that he was praying for so he could win the last election. You are looking at the symptoms of the problem, not the root cause. I have seen a video of a rabbi screaming and almost crying about what is to come, trying to warn people. Not all Jews are part of this.

Starmer’s announcement came before the strike on Akrotiri

From Grok.

•  A “kamikaze” drone struck the runway at RAF Akrotiri at 22:03 UTC (which is 22:03 GMT, since UTC = GMT here).

•  UK Ministry of Defence described it as at “midnight local time” in Cyprus.

•  Several sources (e.g., AP, Sky News, Wikipedia entries on the incident) note the strike hit “late Sunday” or “overnight Sunday to Monday,” with assessments that the drone was likely launched before Starmer’s announcement (factoring in flight time and decision timelines), though it impacted/confirmed after.

Thus, Starmer’s announcement came before the Hezbollah strike on Akrotiri.

Yawn. Can't you come up with something more original? Imagine if we had someone like Boris Johnson, Liz Truss or, God forbid, Farage in power!

Enriched with uranium from Iran is the salient point

What are you talking about? The same people seem to be always behind those events. I am sure it is all coincidence. What do you think it is going to happen when all those Mideast countries get destabilized? A flood of migrants to Europe from Muslims countries. Is that the end goal? Those migrants will never fit in their "new" countries and become a social problem as it is already happening. Maybe the end goal is to create a conflict between Christians and Muslims where they will fight each to extermination.

Keir Starmer has confirmed that the UK will allow the United States to use British military bases to carry out what he described as “specific and limited defensive” strikes against Iranian missile sites.

Brits are to the US what Ghislaine Maxwell was to Jeffrey Epstein.

Don't know and don't care, the flip flopper and the other losers you name...from that tiny crappy country.

Headline:

Sir Keir Starmer is No Winston Churchill says the Draft Dodger

This is what happens when you threaten to invade a fraternal Commonwealth Country, where you threaten to invade a country where the Royal Houses are related. No Special Relationship and sitting on hands. What's in it for us? Not a lot by the looks of it. Without any notification of allies, and no warning, he has put at risk the lives of 300,000 British nationals in the Gulf region. He openly wondered why the relationship isn't like it was. Is he an idiot? He's threatened us. He's punished us. He's belittled us.

The Draft Dodger is no Roosevelt.

Perhaps we could say, lets wait 3 years, then come in and claim all the credit.
