UK Betrays America: Starmer's Weaklings Block US Bases for Real Strikes on Iran, Whine About "War Crimes"

The United Kingdom just stuck a knife in America's back at the worst possible moment.

WASHINGTON DC: Senior UK officials are telling The i Paper they'll flat-out deny the US access to key bases like RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia for any strikes hitting Iranian bridges, power plants, or other infrastructure that keeps the mullahs' terror machine running. Why? They're clutching their pearls over possible civilian harm and screaming "war crimes."

This from the same crowd that's happy to let the US use those bases for limited, defensive pokes at missile sites threatening shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. But when it comes to actually crippling Iran's ability to fund Hezbollah, Hamas, and attacks on the West? Hard pass. Too messy for their delicate sensibilities.

Britain, once a proud warrior nation that stood shoulder-to-shoulder with America against real evil, has devolved into a spineless nanny state under Keir Starmer's socialist government. They're more worried about international law lectures from the same globalist elites who ignore Iran's daily atrocities — executing dissidents, oppressing women, arming terrorists, and threatening the world's oil lifelines — than helping their oldest ally finish the job.

These bases exist because America built and defended them. Diego Garcia isn't some quaint British tea party spot; it's a strategic outpost that projects power against threats like Iran. RAF Fairford has hosted US bombers for decades when real leadership in London understood the stakes.

Now? The UK lectures us about rules while Iran fires missiles at our forces and chokes global trade. This isn't caution — it's cowardice dressed up as morality. It's the same limp-wristed mindset that lets radical Islam overrun British streets and leaves Europe dependent on American muscle for everything.

America shouldn't have to beg for permission to defend itself and its interests. Time to rethink these one-way "alliances." Pull the nukes, close the bases if needed, and let Britain defend its own shrinking empire with its broken navy and endless virtue-signaling.

The special relationship just got a whole lot less special. Thanks to Starmer and his crew, the world sees Britain as a fair-weather friend that folds when the going gets tough. Weakness like this doesn't deter Iran — it invites more attacks. America First means no more carrying dead weight that stabs us in the back.

TAMPARULI : Anak bekas Timbalan Ketua Menteri Sabah Datuk Dr James Ongkili, Dr Julia Ongkili, seorang yang amat aktif dalam masyarakat yang tidak dicanangkan, dalam diam diiktiraf seorang daripada 100 Wanita Inspirasi Nasional Malaysia 2026 !

Di arena politik, para pengundi terlepas peluang memilih satu permata dari Tamparuli, namun pelbagai NGO dan institusi memilih beliau sebagai pemenang sebenar.

Baru-baru ini pada 28 Mac 2026 dalam satu majlis penghargaan berprestij di Hotel Seri Pacific Kuala Lumpur, Dr Julia, 56, menerima satu pengiktirafan yang cukup bermakna, hasil daripada dedikasi, komitmen dan usaha berterusan beliau dalam memberi impak kepada masyarakat.

Kejayaan ini jelas membuktikan bahawa kesungguhan, keikhlasan dan semangat beliau yang tinggi mampu membawa ke tahap yang luar biasa.

Pencapaian, impak dan inspirasi oleh Dr Julia ini bukan sahaja membanggakan ramai aktivis Sabah, ia juga telah memberi inspirasi besar kepada semua wanita Sabah untuk terus melangkah ke hadapan tanpa rasa ragu.

"Teruslah menyinar dan menjadi contoh teladan sesungguhnya ini benar-benar membuktikan bahawa Dr Julia Ongkili adalah wanita hebat yang memberi inspirasi kepada ramai.
