The leadership is doing exactly what they should be doing, representing the electorate for whom they stand. Support for getting into this sits at around 6% in the UK. Our economy is still trying to recover from Covid and the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It’s been weakened by 10% tariffs and now 15% tariffs. We are helping the EU with funding Ukraine to stop the Russians marching across Europe because you stopped putting anything in around January last year and we are helping the Ukrainians with as much hardware as we can, while trying to also put more in to NATO in general. 

We can’t afford to send shit over to a major war in the Middle East and we have zero interest in helping the current Israeli regime. Expecting us to help on a war you choose to start is not how NATO works, and much like with Vietnam, if we think it’s a shit idea we aren’t obliged to come running every time you guys do something. 

Lots of respect for you guys

I think both you and the Donald seem to have missed the point there somewhat especially missing the jokes about him wanting ww3.  

I'll refer you back to what I said earlier, if you think UK gov is out of sync with what the population here feels about this whole situation then you're wrong. This is about the only issue with which they are consistent with public opinion. 

Oh and SNL UK ain't going to work. US-format sketch comedies always bomb over here with the precision of a JDAM.
