Starmer yesterday gave USA permission to attack in Iran from U.K. regional bases whereby Starmer made those legally legitimate targets, whether one likes it or not. -

It is undeniably a war of aggression and rulers who order their military to participate make themselves co-culpable in the war of aggression, crimes against peace, potentially putting at least some of their military in the position that obeying orders may make those culpable too. -

@b9AcE For far too long the US has used NATO basing agreements as a cover for its own military operations. This needs to end if nations wish to draw any sort of clear line between themselves and the way the US acts in the world. Countries should end their US basing agreements and NATO should be reconstituted without the US in it.

@Infoseepage Yes, I agree. Those bases do not increase the people's safety, but very much the opposite. Not only now under particularly arbitrarily aggressive Trump, but this also shows (again) that USA can not be relied upon as an ally since that construct has been many times repeatedly used for extortion, etc against the nominal allies.
It seems to me the politicians just want those bases because they believe having those give some sort of "prestige", which is a political currency at value drastically increasing the more authoritarian any particular politician is.Also, see the book "NATO's secret armies" https://libcom.org/article/natos-secret-armies-daniele-ganser incl PDF-file) and the old BBC-documentary "Operation Gladio" (https://archive.org/details/operationgladio) for very much more.

@b9AcE The US needs to be reduced to a continental power. Every base with US troops in it around the world is a liability to the host nation and a danger to all nations within its reach. Without those bases, the US would be reduced to a continental power with a overstuffed military with much less ability to project power via that military throughout the world.

@Infoseepage Every war bloc is a threat, especially to the people residing within it as against them it is constant while externally it is at least potentially variable.

@b9AcE Since it's quite clearly entered a phase where the US regime is willing to outright decapitate governments it doesn't like through military force and real-time intelligence on the locations of key governmental figures, it is on the free nations of the world to do everything in their power to limit the ability to take these illegal acts.

@b9AcE The US needs to be isolated as the pariah it has become. This needs to be done with urgency by all nations as a matter of deep national security and as a cooperative effort between nations to reestablish in fact the sovereignty of nations and a firmer enforced framework on international relations and law. You either do this, or what you'll have is ever escalating might makes right games played by nations with nuclear arsenals.
