Trump Hits Out At Starmer As UK Confirms It Won't Join His Strait Of Hormuz Blockade

Starmer just has to wait a few days and Trump will be trying to open it up again and berating him for not helping with that too

Starmer said the other day that he was “fed up” with Trump and Putin hitting British families energy bills. Someone like Starmer rarely says anything he doesn’t mean. Apart from putting Trump and Putin together, which is a blatant insult, saying he’s “fed up” is as close as a British PM is going to get to saying that he’s really f****** angry about something. Starmer’s essentially insulted Trump and told him to get fucked in British. Trump’s getting nothing from him.

With all due respect, America go and f*** yourself.

Keir is probably just really confused, Trump was demanding he helped open it last week. What does the orange turd want him to do?

Lol, why would we? They didn’t even consult us on starting the war, now they piss and moan that we don’t want to be involved in a large scale conflict with no plan or exit strategy. In this new transactional relationship Trumps so desperately trying to force on all Americas allies - what do we get for it? Rhetorical of course - the answer is nothing…

"Guys help me open the strait" "I don't need you to open the strait cowards!" "Im going to commit genocide if the strait isnt open!" "Im blockading the strait now." "Guys help me blockade the strait."

Turning into a great week for Trump! His peace talks failed. His allies are tired of his shit and refusing to help with his idiotic war. And his buddy Orban gets booted from power, even after Trump and Vance went and publicly campaigned for him

saturday: "i will do this" sunday: European minister says they won't join trump on killing puppies in a public park monday: Trump says "european minister is a p*ssy" tuesday: Trump backs off from killing puppies in a public park saturday: repeat

"Help us open the strait" 2 days later "help us block the strait"

At this point it's an honor to be insulted by the orange turd

Everyone should know by now that it is literally impossible to please Trump. You can spend years being his pathetic yes man, and he’ll still throw you under the bus in a heartbeat over any petty thing, or for no reason at all. Glad to see Starmer refusing to play his idiotic game. I hope he keeps it up, it’s refreshing.

Way to go Starmer, break the abuse cycle, know your worth.

What does Mark Knophler think about all this Dire Strait stuff?

If Trump want to trash one of the more enduring allies of US, then US will end up as the loser in the end.

In the interests of protecting freedom of navigation, it would be legitimate for the UK, France, Spain, maybe Australia, to send ships to protect commercial vessels transiting the Strait from unlawful actions by the US attempting to impede their voyages to India, China, indeed any country that Trump hates this week. We already have anti piracy patrols not too far away, piracy is not limited to local crime lords.

Does the oatmeal brained pedophile remember that he alienated our allies?  Probably not.  Hopefully any news of this orange POS "dropping the big one" will continue to be that he shit himself at another one of his "Kiss Donald's ass" cabinet meetings.  Also, you can't pretend to be concerned about anything "strait" related when you're being "gay" with a sweaty guy ringside at a UFC fight.  

"We don't need your ships", "we need your ships", "if you want the strait to be open send your own ships", "we will open the strait without your ships", "your ships aren't needed as the strait is open", "we demand you send your ships to help blockade the strait". Even if the UK sent ships they would have no idea what they were being asked to do

Imagine historians trying to sort this all out in 60 years. Kids in school will be having to write essays trying to explain the causes of this war somehow using more words than "Trump was a lunatic".

Will any of his lackeys explain to Trump that if you want an ally to join you in a war you have to make a convincing case of its absolute necessity, come to a good understanding of roles, scope and scale, allow them some time to make a case within their own syste, agree joint plans within a framework of existing defence agreements, and *then* maybe proceed with conflict? You dont start random shit against the advice of every expert you just fired and then scream "you gotta come help!!", especially when it doesnt fall under any agreements you have. If my buddy gets attacked by bullies, I'm going to try help him if I can. If he gets high on his own supply and jumps a fence to attack an angry hippo, thats his stupid problem. I'll try point out where the exits are but I'm not following him in. However, even in the case of mutual defence, Trump already repudiated any notion of mutual defence cooperation when he repeatedly threatened Greenland and Canada. Allies are not who you want to mistreat and threaten in direct contravention of the alliance if you want to use it to get them to help you later. Thats more like if my "buddy" punched my brother and another close friend, threatened to burn down their houses if they didnt hand them over, and talked shit to me, all just before jumping the fence into the hippo enclosure... He seems to see everything through a lens of personal loyalty and whatever he can get away with in the moment - agreements only constrain the other guy - but thats not how diplomacy works

The King needs to cancel his US visit. That’s all there is to it.

Hmm. Trump goes into a bar, sucker punches a guest, and then gets angry when his friends won't join in when the victim retaliates. Sounds like a rapist's mentality, sounds like a narcissist mob boss

Trump is the boy who cries wolf except he’s also the wolf

Good, no country should get involved in Epstein war

Trump makes it very easy for Starmer to look good.

I don't think Americans really understand how much offence their idiot leader caused when he disparaged the efforts of the UK troops, many of whom died in the Middle East. It's a deep, unforgiveable insult. Result: Fight your own f****** wars.

Ah, I see operation Epic Files...sorry, I mean AIPAC fury is going swimmingly. Europe is going to bed, I expect after this and Orban's loss we'll be waking up to quite a few classic ragetweets from tangerine palpatine tomorrow. 

Trump spent weeks acting like a tough guy, betting the house that Iran would blink if he threatened to turn their grid into a parking lot. Instead, they called his bluff and installed a Yuan credit card reader at the entrance to the Gulf. Now he’s stuck. ​The Islamabad talks are dead because you can’t "Art of the Deal" your way out of a fintech blockade you didn't see coming. So now he’s pivoting to this "Blockade" nonsense—using the U.S. Navy to stop ships from paying the Petroyuan toll. It’s the ultimate c***** move: he lost the hand, so now he’s trying to flip the table and stop the house from collecting. ​He’s doubling down on a losing bet. Listnook keeps asking how does anyone bankrupt a c***** - he's showing you right now. Plus everyone is missing the fact Iran demands the toll is paid in Yuan. This is the end of the US$ 

From the article: Trump has launched another attack on Kier Starmer as it emerged that the UK will not be involved with Trump’s plan to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. Trump announced on Sunday that America and “other countries” would be participating, however the UK will not be part of the U.S. effort. A UK government spokesperson said: “We are urgently working with France and other partners to put together a wide coalition to protect freedom of navigation.” Meanwhile, Trump used an interview with Fox News to once again compare Kier Starmer to Hitler-appeasing 1930’s prime minister Neville Chamberlain. Trump said: “NATO is shameful. I mean, look at the United Kingdom.” The U.S. president continues to falsely claim Starmer wants to “send equipment after the war is over. That’s a Neville Chamberlain statement,” Trump said. Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said, “The UK should be working with other countries to get the U.S. and Iran back to the negotiating table, not fanning the flames of war.” Davey continued: “It’s just days since Trump threatened to destroy a whole civilization, and a return to war would be disastrous. The prime minister needs to work in lock-step with our reliable partners to secure a diplomatic end to this crisis.”

...but Starmer is specifically *not* appeasing the tyrant.

You can take you buddy Viktor Orban and shove it up the straight, he’s gonna be out of a job soon anyway

It's been a couple of hours since I checked the news. Trump now wants to *blockade* the Strait and not open it?

We need to stop relying on oil anyway since right wing dipshits keep causing the price to slyrocket. I propose we build a new windfarm in the UK. Trump's golf course in scotland would be a great site for it.

War won weeks ago , now it’s help us , then it’s your not needed with your toy ships , then it’s open the strait then it’s block the strait. Who knows what Jaffa man will decided every day

Mate come on, get the message. We’re done, and Starmer wins political points for acting like we are done. It’s over lads, get with the program.

Dude is obsessed with Chamberlain

I miss sleepy Joe so much. I am already so sick and tired of this orange lunatic and we have 3 more years left in this madness.

DID TRUMP JUST DARE TO INVOKE CHAMBERLAIN AFTER WHAT HE HAS DONE WITH RUSSIA SINCE THE START OF HIS SECOND TERM????

Man, Trump has really unified the world. He's unified it against the US though. In the past, at least some countries would have jumped to help, not because they wanted to, but out of condern or worry or just a genuine desire to help a 'friend' country. Today? We're not anyone's friend, and they've all become unified, knowing that the US can't really punish the entire *world* for not helping, so they are all just staying on the sidelines. It's wild. Every mistake we've made in the past has had at least some reluctant support due to the respect we had and the soft power we wielded. That's all gone now. That should be a MASSIVE story - that the world has, for the first time ever really, completely refused to help when the US asked.

From the news article: "PM Starmer said ‘we’ll send the equipment after the war is over’." Is he subtly taking the piss out of Trump, about the US turning up late for wars?

Imagine if any country actually sent trump help last week to open the straight and even one person died trying to do it.  Then this week this buffoon decides to close the straight.    How would you justify doing anything trump asks?

Someone just needs to take his phone off him and stop giving him airtime. Boring

And do f****** what? lmao Join in on his piracy? The UK aren't getting tolls, right? So we're just going to be their enforcers...? Why?

Badge of honour

Ha ha, I love that Trump doesn't realise that talking like that just makes him look even worse.  Go ahead, be a cry baby. No one respects you.

Trump wants Starmer to help open the strait he closed by helping to keep it closed.

Iran: The Strait is closed. Trump: No, it's open! Iran: The Strait is closed. Trump: No, it's open!! Iran: The Strait is open. Trump: F*** YOU! IT'S CLOSED!! Iran: 🤣

This is pure gold for Starmer. His polling is skyrocketing every time he says no to trump.

>Donald Trump has launched another attack on Keir Starmer as it emerged the UK will not be involved in his plan to ~~blockade the Strait of Hormuz~~ **further disrupt global trade**. I wish the people of USA would use whatever means they have to remove Trump from office. They talk about 2^nd amendment rights, but Trump is still here.

what a f****** loser. As a sane citizen of the US, I apologize to the world at large for our dumbass-in-command and the shits that voted him into office.

"You won't help me open the strait, you won't help me close it, MAKE UP YOUR MIND!"

getting told no by another country and immediately throwing a fit is such a toddler with a microphone energy

You know you're the villain when even us Brits don't want to play pirate with you. Sod off, Trump.

Idk why the hell they would

Fun Fact: trump is an idiot.

We are blockading Irans Blockcade. off the straight...China we are here to collect our oil, move your ships you complete orange pedo fuk wit.

This f****** a****** decides things unilaterally, then berates countries for not joining into whatever ill-conceived scheme he’s started.

I love when codependents finally set sane boundaries with malignant narcissists.

It would be wise for foreign leaders to distance themselves from this idiot

OurMilitary are cowards according to him don't forget. Why would he want the help of cowards?

Question for the Brits: How are the right wingers in your country reacting to Trump #2? Are they parroting his style of bullshit still or have they finally realized the grift being sold by the USA?

Everything he touches turns to c***.

So he was going to destroy a civilization for closing Hormuz but now he wants to block it?....... Does this clown have any idea what he's even saying?

The U.S. Navy maybe used as a blockade. Under what law, is it allowed to fire on ships passing through. It has nothing to do with Trump’s claim of war. It’s about GREED. He wants to collect a toll.

Donald, don't go away mad, just go away. 🤨

The sane people from his first administration need to be given some kind of award for restraining him and his idiotic tendencies as much as they did. His current administration just sucks his knob all day and night and wears shoes 2 sizes bigger than their size to make sure daddy isn't mad at them.

I have respect for people who speak up when things are difficult. By the same measure I lose respect for those who are entrusted to speak up but choose not to. If the World normalize someday again I don't want to hear a single peep from the ghost of the Congress, the UN, the silenced journalists, frightened judges or those who were "just following orders". They have forfeit their right to speak or act. It is easy to act when the sky is clear and so easy to hide when the storm comes. The World is full of cowards and Trump has made us all a favor of pointing them out through his insane actions. Those who are silent agree with him. The world power balance and imagined control mechanisms are so much weaker than even worst case scenarios. Applying a feather of pressure and the steel bends. The mad king is showing us how weak we are by forcing a mirror in our faces. Being in power is not a Career, it is a call to be a servant of the people.

Thank you Iran for humiliating the US government, you've done the world an incredible favour 

I'm genuinely confused. We've already made clear we aren't going to support an invasion of Iran. That should include water as well as land. Given the Strait of Hormuz _isn't_ international waters, and is part-owned and managed by Oman and Iran, why _would_ we invade sovereign waterways? Again, Trump and the US are breaking international law and covenants, and getting away with it.

You put your left foot in, Your left foot out. In, out, in, out, And shake it all about.

Maybe, if you start an unnecessary war of choice w/o telling anyone in advance, people will not want to help you later? Who could've known?

He is trying to provoke Iran to attack so he can whine to NATO that an ally is under attack and won't they come save poor victim America. He knows they won't because that's not how NATO works, but it's what helps him to sell leaving NATO to his sycophants. 

"Will you help us provoke China?" "U w0t m8?"

Sorry I thought "OPEN THE F*****G STRAIT" was pretty clear. Is that not what he wanted?

Nope. Still your mess.

Even if Starmer wanted. I don't think it's reasonable to join the US doing it if they change military plans every few hours. There would be no cohesion

Starmer knows that his popularity goes up every time Trump 'hits out at him'.

I’ve seen this headline before, was this before or after Trump won the Epstein war ?

This gets more farcical with every passing day.

Same shit every week, attacks the countries PM. next week, he'll attack Starmer, just for sitting on his desk. Go Home Trump, and take your army with you from Iran.

Firstly, at last! Good on ya Keir. Second, as Trump doesn't know anything the comparison with Chamberlain has to come from a staffer. Third everyone is simply waiting for the Trump era to end.

Starmer to Trump: maybe in two weeks

At some point, when you realize everyone is against you, you should realize that you are the problem. Doubling down on the issue while hemorrhaging world power is not the solution.

For a guy that tells the world he doesn’t need anything from them, he sure likes to ask the world for help every day.

This isn’t a Nato situation. Trump started this mess, let him it finish him.

This old and dementia-ridden r***-clown is such an embarrassement. He has no idea what he's doing and is completely out of his depth. He's only marginally qualified to play a president as an actor in a TV show. Never been happier to not be an American these days.
