Trump Backs Britain: ‘Iran Is In Big Trouble’
Breitbart ^ | 07/20/19 | JACK MONTGOMERY

Posted on 07/20/2019 6:22:18 AM PDT by Enlightened1

U.S. President Donald J. Trump backed the United Kingdom after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps seized a British-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, saying the Islamic Republic is in “big trouble”.

“Iran is showing their true colours,” President Trump told reporters outside the White House, adding: “Iran is in big trouble.”

The President’s relationship with British government ministers and prominent opposition politicians, such as hard-left Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and London mayor Sadiq Khan, has often been strained, as they have rushed to commentate negatively on his administration in hopes of winning the approval of left-liberal activists and media commentators.

Nevertheless, the American leader’s attitude to his late mother’s home country as a whole has been consistently warm — in contrast to the attitude of his predecessor — and he was quick to emphasise the long-standing British-American alliance in his comments on the tanker seizures.

“[A]s you know we have a very close alliance with the UK and we always have,” he told reporters.

“We don’t have very many tankers going in but we have a lot of warships there and we’ll talk to the UK.

“We have no written agreement… but they’ve been a very great ally of ours,” he added, denouncing Iran as “nothing but trouble”.

wow! I positively AGREE with everyone on this topic. I hope to hell the Donald is not stupid enough to put his political neck on the block, and American servicemen’s lives on the line to rescure British shipping. The Brits are always the first in line to call us warmongers and bullies—— so let them fight their own fights. The Brits I talk to online have been taught that they owe America no favors, that we did nothing to help them in WWII until they already had Germany whipped. My English lineage goes back a loooooog way, but I’ve personally had enough of their snooty attitude.

America doesn’t need their oil. Let the UN negotiate the matter.

That's going to be hard they can't even figure out the correct side of the road to drive on.

Their attitude is that their wars are our wars, but our wars aren’t their wars, unless the likely casualty numbers are nominal, as they have been in Afghanistan and Iraq. Between WWI and WWII we lost 400K dead fighting Britain’s enemies in Europe. That we get maligned is a sign that they think of us as vassals - cannon fodder to be fed into the meat grinder on command.

lets see, the UN’s largest single voting block is the OIC.
Do you really think they have a unvested and UNbiased opinion???
Iran and turkey call for a global caliphate as per the Koran.
The OIC reckon the same.

Bullshit. If Margret Thatcher was still Brit PM, yes...now, no so much.
