To wonder if Kier Starmer says something that Trump doesn't like, he could go to war with us?

[Chefpig]

He's striked Venezuela, is causing shit in Greenland and even people in his own country are getting killed. Is it too far-fetched?

Venezuela and Greenland are about the oil. He has no use for the UK.

Secondly, Starmer is too diplomatic to put his foot in it. Thirdly, if Trump did want to start beef with the UK he would find reason regardless of anyone putting their foot in it or not.

Dont think theres anything the uk has that Trump wants, the other wars are about oil and ICE Minneapolis is because they want the voter rolls according to Bondi.

Probably not, but he might threaten to put a 200% tariff on British wine. Oddly, though, the UK seems to get to say "Ha ha, no way, Russian trolls!" with no blowback at all, whilst Macron gets spanked for not responding fast enough about the Bored of Peace, and Carney has managed to get himself completely disinvited.

Keir.

Yes it is too far-fetched

Not sure about going to war against us, I doubt it, but he is perfectly capable of pi$$ing all over whatever tenuous relationship we still have with the US (which is eroding day by day). I'm surprised he backtracked on the soldiers in Afghanistan thing; someone must have told him 'you've gone too far this time sir', it won't have been his own conscience, as he simply doesn't have one.

That’s why you need someone in charge who makes calm and measured responses, not another Trump who comes out with inflammatory rhetoric.

Trump knows all about Starmer’s skeletons so this is unlikely to happen in any egregious way

He's a cornered narcissist which makes him very unpredictable and dangerous.

I'd like to think their are people around him that would stop him doing something so insanely reckless but he kidnapped the leader of another country on totally fabricated accusations about drug trafficking and no one did anything to stop him so who knows.

‘Go to war’ makes it sound like we would be capable of defending ourselves against America…

He's a cornered narcissist which makes him very unpredictable and dangerous.

Trump or Starmer?

Trumps unpredictability and danger makes him very effective at achieving his goals. No one is sure what he is capable of if they say no.

Starmer just constantly gives ground international interests over our own.

We're a NATO country so even though the US is too I can't see the rest of NATO leaving us to it. NATO military without the US is still bigger than the US military alone. NATO countries would probably shut down US military bases in their territory which would present Trump with some logistical problems.

Fair question 😄

He doesn’t need to go to war with us. He could just cut off our military supplies. Then sit back and wait for someone else to invade while we are helplessly weaponless.

Who exactly is going to invade the helpless UK once Don Don takes his toys back? The Isle of Man? Jersey?

Yes, it’s terrifying. We have been extraordinarily stupid as a nation to put so much faith in the “special relationship”.

It’s this level of complacency that is dangerous.

We have remembrance every year with the motto ‘Lest we forget’, and yet this sort of question can still be posed?

No. It won’t happen.

Economic war is war, and yes he could impose tariffs and cause instability and civil unrest.
His handlers love the disruption, the orange one loves the headlines as they all play the stocks and cash in.

No he is too self serving to do this. With Trump you "follow the money" if you want to understand his actions and the limits to what he might do. He owns property and businesses in the UK which he would not care to jeopardise.

The acronym used by financial analysts when discussing his posturing -TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) applies. We saw this recently over Greenland.

Sorry, but you think what that Trump will invade Scotland for the Scotch trade? England for ? Umm beets or leeks no idea what you guys have.

There are no luxury trades or mineral riches to be had. You’re perfectly safe.

The Greenland thing he was “offered” the deal the US had already but he and his entourage are too uninformed to know it.

I wouldn't worry about that OP.
I think the PM treads very carefully around DJT, and will never allow himself to say or do anything to make him angry, annoyed, mad at, or even mildly P'd Off with him.
Never saw anything like it, maybe he's smart not to speak up, and is playing the wait and see game.
Who says flattery and appeasement don't get you anywhere? So far it's worked for him.
Besides, DJT. " just loves the UK", and absolutely depends on it for valuable military and intelligence information.
He doesn't want to risk losing that.

Almost as stupid as allowing a Chinese mega spy centre in the middle of London (after conveniently letting know Chinese spies avoid persecution). Then handing away, at vast cost to ourselves, strategically important islands which can then be let out to China.

Just a few days ago, during his speech at Davos, Trump criticised the UK for not exploiting the oil and gas reserves in the North Sea, which he called "one of the greatest reserves in the world". And apparently, "between immigration and energy - if they (the UK) don't change, bad things will happen to them".

I think he right that it is stupid that we import oil instead of using our own.
