Plenty more in the North Sea.

This being is the embodyment of pure evil. The accumulated evil and greed of the whole of America.

And yet during this entire thing, like a battered spouse, Starmer has still been allowing US planes to use their bases. And will continue to do so.

the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore

They weren't helping anyone else before.

At best, they were helping themselves (mostly) without actively interfering with others ability to do the same.

He's so incredibly stupid; honestly the biggest moron I've ever seen in any government.

He started this war, he didn't think it through - it was well known attacking Iran would lead to them closing the strait of hormuz, and it would be extremely difficult to open it without a ground invasion. Israel has wanted to go after Iran for decades but every US president had common sense and said no. Trump has done what no President has ever done. The US allies are not stupid enough to be drawn into the this pointless war as it's unwinnable.

Now this so-called "business man" doesn't even know how global markets work. You remove 20% of the oil supply, then prices go up because demand goes up - you still have 100% of demand. The US isn't protected from that as a net shale oil/gas exporter.

First: everyone in the world is bidding for oil and gas supplies so it goes to the highest bidder; thats how a market works - everyone ends up paying more including americans. Second: the US is a net exporter but it also imports a lot of gas and oil. It's exports are driven by Liquid Natural Gas. But it imports Crude Oil, because it can't produce enough of that for domestic demand. Third: As energy prices go up, you get "demand destruction". In other words, some activities are no longer economical as the price of oil and gas is too high and obliterates profits. That means the global economy goes into decline - a recession. And the US is in no way insulated from that - it is totally integrated into the global economy.

Trump has fucked over the US, allies like the UK, Canada and EU and the rest of the world. This isn't his allies' war, and they're not getting involved - it's politically toxic and it'd just escalate this mess. Trump can get frustrated at the mess he's made and lash out as much as he wants, but he can't get away from this mess. He has two choices and both are shit: Invade Iran with troops or admit defeat and cave into the Iran's demands. I suspect he will cave in and try and spin this as a "victory".

All friendships burned, all choices burning themselves, digging their own grave deeper and deeper. Total collapse is inevitable.

Remember all those Hollywood productions about post apocalypse worlds, only showing the US? I always wondered how the rest of the world would be. I guess just normal, it's just the US being a post apocalypse hell hole.

And Trump did all of that just to try to distract everyone from him being a pedo sex offender buddy of Epstein.

What a fucking loser.

I'm beginning to think the hardest job in the entire world is Secret Service Agent. I mean, c'mon, millions of lives are at risk, you're armed, and he's right there. Instant hero. /s

Edit: forgot /s. Obviously.

Meanwhile the UK is hosting USA bombers. Grow a pair - kick them out and close airspace until they show some gratitude.

European nation

Not if some of them can help it.

Probably said the same thing to his creditors - "Go get your own money. I can't help you".

This rant is extra ignorant with a cherry on top.

The UK already gets most of its oil from the US and Norway (sauce)

The Orange Child Rapist apparently did not know oil is a global commodity and therefore all/most oil cost the same around the world. I guess he figured if the USA did not get oil from Iran, US Oil was not going up in price?

What an embarrassment of a country to have this pustule of a person as president (elected twice!)

Funny to think that the UK thought one of the advantages of Brexit was that the USA and the UK could now finally get as close as they wanted without the interference of the EU.

We (the UK) don't need oil from the Strait of Hormuz. Most of that goes to Asian countries.

They're far more likely just to pay Iran a nominal amount to keep it flowing.

The UK actually imports more from the US than anywhere else. We should stop propping up tinpot regimes, and buy from local friendly countries, or better still, just use a lot less of it.

Once again the "most powerful military on earth" has to beg for help to defeat a single rogue state, and throws a tantrum when they don't get it.

The Brits supplying the British airfield from which US heavy bombers take off:

build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT

Do it yourself idiot! 🤮 🤡

But USA can't, and if they try they will just be further humiliated.
Maybe Trump thinks the military is refusing his orders, so he wants UK to do it for him instead.
The man is insane and has dementia on top of that. Congratulations to the Americans that elected him, you are the laughing stock of the world, especially those that want to harm USA.

If it’s so easy you just TAKE IT.

Is it not easy?

Uhm...turns out...the green transition was a core security policy. That is why maga, russia, gulf countries were against it...

*'Go get your own oil!' Trump tells UK the US won't 'help you anymore' in latest furious rant

What a boorish sack of shit, Jesus Christ, dealing with that man on a daily basis must be fucking exhausting.
