Some scholars, such as Maxime Rodinson, coined "Islamofascism" to describe the merging of traditional Islamic values with modern, totalitarian state structures in Iran.

Islamic fascists hate Jews like Hitler did. Iran has a Supreme Leader like Hitler. Hitler was friends with muslims.

The Iranian regime is characterized by totalitarian, religious ideology, mass arrests of dissenters, and violent crackdowns on protests.

Very very similar.

They are Islamic fascist, for sure.

However, a key difference with Hitler is that they don't persecute their own Jewish citizen!

So true Mr . President ! If and when the tide turned and the UK ally needed help , America would be the first to step up! Goes to show what a weak appeasing PM , he is., as he cowers in the face of diversity.

He sat on his arse doing nothing. His country is near stuffed with 11 year record youth unemployment. The UK economy grew by 1.3% in 2025, with Q4 2025 growth slowing to 0.1%. Despite 2024 seeing a 1.1% recovery, growth remains sluggish, with 2026 projections lowered to 0.9%.

Grow has never been good after Brexit.

Actually, it was worse under the Tory government. 😆

They supported Hitler due to stupidity. They hate Trump due to tariffs.

From a trusted dem socialist /marxist perspective. reflecting on the far left hopes & wishes of a failing ally.

"The US bombing campaign in Iran relies heavily on British military bases. For a moment, it seemed Keir Starmer might refuse Washington access, but he has proved too cowardly to make even this basic stand for human rights against imperial war.

While bombing Iran from British runways, the US president has sarcastically dismissed his host as not being “Winston Churchill” and said that he doesn’t need “people who join wars after we’ve already won.”

I wasn't born in 1939. Neville Chamberlain was though!

If you're blaming someone for 1939 timing or policy, look at your own British leader back then, not me/us.

Oh dear have i hit a raw nerve. You dragged us into wars and killed our servicemen for wars we should never have got into thanks to your presidents, but no more wewill not be Rrumps puppets like the rest of Europe who are not willing to joinn this war. Your body bags are mounting and you havn't even put boots on the ground in Iran yet.

My father who entered Britain by troop ship in September of 1944 and then joined General Patton's sweep through France and into Germany and Austria would agree with this assessment. He would be appalled by the leadership of a once great country like Britain.

Cheers to the old ways of watching each others backs. Unfortunately the tide has turned to appeasing autocratic terror regimes who have been chilled twice now once in 1984 & now in 2026 again .

google ai overview:

"Historically, in 1917, the UK heavily encouraged US entry into WWI, and in 1940-41, the US supported the UK without directly fighting until Pearl Harbor".

How is it going? How does it feel to win ?

Remember George W. Bush on the Hangar ship declared war won? It was just the beginning and here you still. Cleaning up the mess around the world. Never ending winning,
