Starmer Goes Nuclear to Please Trump — But It’s Blown Up in His Face

Keir Starmer is busting apart the nuclear non-proliferation treaty to kiss up to Trump and make himself look big. Right, so Britain’s gone nuclear again, and not because anyone voted for it. A billion quid for planes that can’t fly without a nod from Washington. A NATO mission sold as independence. A prime minister so busy kissing Trump’s ring he’s choking on the fumes. The paperwork calls it deterrence; the experts call it absurd. Nukewatch and the Nuclear Information Service have already said the quiet part in a brand new report – it breaks the spirit of the non-proliferation treaty we claim to defend. The United States sells the hardware, keeps the codes, and calls it partnership. The UK signs the cheque and calls it safety, but only if America chooses to keep up ‘safe’. Meanwhile, Iran gets sanctioned for enrichment while we buy new bomb-carriers. That’s not strategy; that’s servitude as well as hypocrisy on steroids. Britain isn’t stepping up. It’s kneeling down, smiling for the cameras, calling it security while the rest of the world ducks for cover. Right, so lets turn our minds back to last month, Starmer facing the cameras and declaring that America under Trump keeps Britain safe in an interview with Beth Rigby. That’s the message — safety by association. Routine on paper, grotesque in context. Trump has of course, as a for instance, since said that. “I was very much in charge,” when it came to Israel’s June strike on Iranian territory. We knew that the US helped b*mb three nuclear sites. Three targets, one at Fordow, but Trump said he was behind the hole thing. That’s not deterrence. Not diplomacy. That’s war by vanity. I did a thing and I want credit for it, you must love me now and bask in my dayglo orange glory. That’s what Starmer reckons makes for a good defence partner and keeps Britain safe. The language stays clean. “Reliable ally.” “Shared security.” Words that mean nothing once bombs start falling. Britain echoed them anyway. But the motive isn’t safety. It’s obedience. So let’s come to the actual announcement now then. Twelve F-35A jets from the United States. A return to the NATO “dual-capable aircraft” club — jets able to carry B61-12 nuclear bombs.
