Got to say it’s very on brand that the year that we get promoted back into the premier League WW3 kicks off and Trump drops a nuke to end all civilisation.
Are you OK? You seem to be making strange incoherent statements? So these state sponsored terrorist groups are only funded because of Israels actions in Gaza?

It's an easy one if you believe in upholding international law, and condemning those who breach it.
It's also easy to separate out attack from defence. If you're dropping bombs on someone, then by definition you're attacking them!
Iran wasn't actually attacking anyone with missiles or drones until Israel and America decided, in the middle of negotiations no less, to initiate a first strike. If you can't condemn that, then like Starmer, you can't pretend to genuinely believe in international law.
Firstly, just to reiterate, I’ve said we should stay out of the war. However, we are dealing with a regime that themselves have consistently ignored/flouted international law, that funds proxies across the region/world against our interests and safety, randomly called for Death to England last year, was involved in 20 thwarted terror attacks on UK soil (including us arresting several Iranians under terror laws last year) and not forgetting recently slaughtered up to 30k of its own population for holding peaceful demonstrations.
So am I surprised Starmer didn’t condemn USA actions, not really. As for me, if someone wants us/others to respect international law in relation to them, maybe they should try following it themselves sometime. The U.K. hasn’t done anything wrong in this so not quite sure why some want to still try to kick off about it.
Edit - and before it’s asked, I’m as concerned about what happens next as anyone else

We’re allied to Israel which has done things just as reprehensible. The US as it happens aren’t even obeying their own laws never mind international ones as far as these attacks are concerned.
If we are offered a choice between Israel and Iran, the correct answer is neither of them.
