Tough chance with the current lot, the Tories will line up to kiss mango mussolini's arse and pledge the utmost support.
Iran v US confrontation

Wouldn't matter in either case since Trump does what he wants and only listens to a very select few.
Raab will be on BBC Breakfast in 6 hours time declaring us right behind Trump. Guarantee it.
Al arabiya news channel said that.
Fecked up situation. That’s what you get for getting a madman into power.

Wisdom from the late senator and presidential candidate...
Does anyone think Trump will nuke them?
Doubtful. I think it takes more than just a presidential order to launch a nuke.
Of course not
That’s probably the one order that would cause the generals to remove him from command.
Don’t even talk like that.
Nope, it’s purely under the command of the President. The Sec Def has to confirm the order came from the President, but has no veto power.
Found it on the internet, the video was uploaded today, but not sure if it is of the today attacks. The people talking in the video saying the missiles are hitting the Americans.
This wasn't predictable at all.
Feck me, was so disappointed with our result I didn't realise things had escalated a tad.... who knows how far this will go.

This is just the video of them launching the missiles, not the missiles landing.
O chance unless he gets drunk and breaks into wherever you launch the nukes from with no resistance or checks in place
Well that's terrifying. Hopefully all of his advisers will be telling him it's basically not an option.

Wiki states that British armed forces use the base as well.

This is scary.
The abrupt and pointed resignation of Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis on Thursday alarmed official Washington. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) called him an “an island of stability amid the chaos of the Trump administration.” Retiring Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) told The Washington Post that “having Mattis there gave all of us a great deal more comfort than we have now.”
Mattis’s departure seems to be provoking unease, especially considering how dangerous our nuclear-command arrangements are. The notion that Mattis, a former four-star Marine Corps general, could have blocked or defied a move by Trump to impulsively launch nuclear weapons may have seemed comforting, but it shouldn’t have been. The secretary of defense has no legal position in the nuclear chain of command, and any attempts by a secretary of defense to prevent the president from exercising the authority to use nuclear weapons would be undemocratic and illegal. With or without Mattis, the president has unchecked and complete authority to launch nuclear weapons based on his sole discretion.
Someone better tie him up to make sure. Never thought he would be this stupid, but he went and provoked Iran anyway.
Would be surprised, but wouldn’t be shocked.
So, what is the draft age likely to be?
Sorry for spreading the thought, seeing the tweet about the sec def carrying something large put the idea in my head
18-25
So I thought Congress has to approve any drastic actions? How is Trump seemingly in full control here?

CNN is showing video of missiles landing and exploding, if there is no loss of like it will be a miracle .

Drumpf to address the nation shortly.
apparently Trump is going to give a prime time speech to the US, from the Oval Office, only the second time it has ever happened, if he does it.
