Former UK Prime Minister Johnson criticized the current Prime Minister Starmer. Johnson wrote on social media tonight (Beijing time, February 21): "Iran may have nuclear weapons in a few months. But the Prime Minister refused to let Trump use UK airbases for potential strikes, which is actually supporting Iran's mullahs... On which side is Starmer standing?"
[Witty] Comments: Apart from Israel, no US allies have clearly stated willingness to provide bases and support for US military strikes against Iran. Johnson's open support for Trump and criticism of Starmer at this moment exactly proves that Johnson shares a high degree of alignment with Trump. They share a tough conservative approach, adopting a strategy of maximum pressure and military deterrence towards Iran, and their positions on international security issues are highly synchronized. Both regard unilateral tough measures as the preferred way to solve problems. The two belong to the right-wing populist camp, and their foreign policy logic, security perspective, and action preferences are highly consistent. This statement is not an ad hoc expression, but a natural outflow of their similar ideas and aligned positions, in line with their consistent political logic and values. While Starmer refuses to take war risks and does not want to get involved.
