Sir Keir Starmer’s weak leadership has put the UK in danger
The war against Iran by the USA and Israel which is justified on a number of fronts including most importantly Iran being the number one sponsor of global terrorism has now taken a very serious turn. That escalation is from the attack on the UK military base at Diego Garcia.
The Iranian attack by two long range missiles on Diego Garcia has demonstrated that Iran does have the capacity to strike deep into Europe. This striking capacity places the British Isles at risk and has confirmed warnings previously issued by Israel government officials that Iran has a long range ballistic missile capacity.
By the UK not joining the USA and Israel in the war against Iran the weak Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has now placed the citizens of the UK in danger. The UK does not have the defences to protect us from such long range missiles. We are relying on NATO and that defence is simply inadequate due to insufficient spending over many years. The terrorist long range weapons that Iran clearly has might only have a small payload and be inaccurate at long distances. But it is important to remember Iran has huge stockpiles of deadly chemical weapons and a small amount of such indiscriminate weapons delivered in the payload in a missile could kill many thousands of people across the British Isles in just one attack.
