Trump b*ch-slaps the U.K. for "sending two aircraft carriers we don't need to the Middle East after we've already won!"

Trump: “The UK, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, PM Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”

And refuse any further help or collaboration. If he gets involved, the voters will throw him out.

He is a menace who needs to be removed from office and locked away until he takes his last breath.

against Iran. Rather, it was to reinforce it's base in Cyprus.

https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20260302-uk-base-in-cyprus-hit-by-drone-as-fallout-from-iran-war-spreads-beyond-middle-east

An Iranian drone hit the runway of the UK's Akrotiri air force base overnight on Monday but caused "minimal" damage, officials said. Britain declined to take part in the US-Israeli strikes on Iran but later approved a US request to use its bases for "defensive actions", Britain's minister for the Middle East said.

23. Dumbass. (a) We don't have two aircraft carriers available.

One is currently in dry dock for maintenance.

(b) What we might decide to send may not be needed by you (as you sit in opulence thousands of miles from the action, as has been your lifelong habit), but it might help our bases in Cyprus and stop the locals being so pissed off and scared by the drone attacks your idiocy has attracted to them that they tell us to take our planes and other hardware and fuck off home.

(c) If you thought you might need them, maybe you could have given some more notice - and justificiation - for your damn fool blatant distraction from your paedophile record and the carnage it's causing.

(d) If you've already won, what's the fuss? Go fly a plane to the Gulf and hoist a Mission Accomplished banner. I'm sure they'll be glad to see you.

Why are we still bombing them and talking about putting boots on the ground.
