Estimates suggest that over a million Uyghurs have been detained in China since 2015 with likely +/-50,000+ killed, and yet no threat of US military action against that country.

Let's not pretend that Trump is on some sort of moral crusade or that his actions in Iran are borne out of concern for the fate of the Iranian public.

I've known all about Trump long before he became the president, but it's still those who work with him that are involved in this action.

No matter who's involved, something needed to be done to stop Iran's crazy regime, the sooner the better. Whether it's leader was gravitating towards nuclear weapons, and the enrichment of uranium kinda makes it feel that way, or just the killing of innocents in Iran and other countries, he needed to be gone. His son taking over isn't going to be a good thing if he follows daddy's footsteps, and if he does, it might be good if he's made out his will.

Reports suggest that Iran's infrastructure has suffered a good deal of damage. Who is going to rebuild the country? The US has ruled out nation building so what happens next? Is a rudderless, financially strapped nation meant to rebuild the nation themselves?

I'm not sure if you were able to read the link to the article from 'The Economist' (published on 5 March) which I posted previously but its' conclusion looks very precedent:

"Before this war, Iran’s regime was weaker than at any time in its 47-year history: it could have fallen without a single American bomb. Mr Trump may get lucky, but he is more likely to end up having to deal with regional chaos or a new hardliner. Surrounded by sycophantic courtiers, Mr Trump has become rash in his second term. His opportunistic grabs for power whenever he sees weakness are dangerous. America needs a strategy in Iran, just as it needs one in the world".

And who said that they are building nukes. IAEA confirmed Iran not making nuclear bombs. Even US intelligence indicated Iran not making nuclear weapons. Of course you believe the liar in chief and his marionette Hegseth

guess you missed the "before"

stopping a country the has enriched 60% uranium before they build 11 nukes is justified

The worlds say's Thank You

I say give trump the Barbera Woodhouse treatment. If a dog <deleted>s in the wrong place, you rub its nose in it. At their next meeting, Starmer needs to drag trump out of the office and rub his nose in dog <deleted>. Assert dominance. It's the best way to handle americans. I used this method during my work career and it always worked out great. This method also applies if americans can't stop humping your leg.

Well well well......look at how things turned out. Starmer took my advice and look at how respectful trump is to us Brits now. Trump is begging us for help. Typical american who has no self respect. Starmer needs to call trump into his office and tell him to get on his knees. Not to beg. The British people have needs. And we demand he satisfies the needs of Starmer, on our behalf.

There will be riots if Starmer brings the UK into this illegal war.
