So Trump is now hinting he'll get involved in the war in the middle east and Starmer has said we'll support the yanks :roll:

I can see the scenario as soon as trump takes on iran all the radical factions throughout the middle east such as Isis the Houthis will also join and before we know it the whole of the Arab penisnsula will get involved

China will see this as the best opportunity to invade Taiwan and all the conflict zones in Africa will erupt whilst the rest of the world is preoccupied

and who is to say the tensions between india and Pakisdtan won't come to the boil

and of course once the UK and US are busy fighting in the middle east will Putin consider this the opportunity to punish the uK for supporting Ukraine

It ain't looking good with potentially only the south Americans and Australia & new Zealand not at war I sincerely hope not but many predicted Trump might start WW3 is this the moment ?

He hasn't, but I would be amazed if the yanks start bombing that the RAF doesn't offer cover and refueling at the least.

Most of our aircraft and ordnance (bombs, rockets, air defence, drones) are supplied by the USA, the USA uses our bases (From Lakenheath to Akrotiri, Chagos) the 2 nations almost share a language, we are joined at the hip. if Starmer didnt join in Trump could shut the UK down with 200% tariffs....and bring down Liebour....

oh, hang on......YAYYYYY =D> =D> =D> =D>

Those still open are major employers of locals in the area of the bases and local supplers would go bust without them....

Putin hits Poland

by accident

sorry!

Quote:
Prime Minister Donald Tusk says Poland is at its closest to open conflict since World War Two

He says up to four of 19 Russian drones were shot down by Polish and Nato aircraft, marking the first time Russian drones have been shot down over the territory of a Nato country

Poland's interior ministry says seven drones and the remains of an unidentified object have been found so far
