The unfortunate thing is how keen the US and its allies appear to recreate it.

Last time I checked, only the US and Israel. Europeans don't want anything to do with this war, and the USA's East Asian allies also like it not even a little bit.

As a Brit, I'm disgusted that Starmer is allowing UK bases to be used by the US for launching attacks. I can see it being just a matter of time before Starmer drags us into another war of lies. (Last time it was Tony Blair, also a Labour leader and he still hasn't been tried for his war crimes).

A UK base was attacked. Would you rather Starmer be the next Chamberlain?

Fallacious comparison, two entirely different situations. For a start, whatever the Iranian response, the aggressor at the root of this particular episode is the other side: the U.S.

Yes, I'm sure Iran is completely honest and knows what it's doing at all times. It's not like there's no central command and someone surely knows what everyone else, including proxies are doing, right?

Interestingly, this is denied by the Iranians.

Regardless, Trump and Bibi started this war unilaterally. It's not gone as planned and now they want our support.

The only appeasement I've seen the UK do (repeatedly) in my lifetime is in kowtowing to the US and Israel.

That attack looks like a false flag operation to me. Also, as already stated, Iran is not the aggressor - that would be Trump with his Fifa Peace Prize.

Moscow would be encircled right now if that was true.
