Alright, alright—here we go, straight into a bow right from the start! New UK Prime Minister: Allows US military to use British bases to strike Iran
Bhutta has officially become the new Prime Minister of the UK. He was previously seen as someone with significant potential, largely because he comes across as relatively pragmatic. However, according to information obtained by CCTV News on local date the 21st, Bhutta has already approved allowing the US military to use British military bases to launch strikes against Iran—a decision that continues the policy set by his predecessor, Starmer.
Alright, alright—everyone thought the "British Empire" had finally gotten a down-to-earth leader, but who would have guessed this guy also bows immediately upon taking office?
It’s certain that if this UK Prime Minister keeps pandering to the United States in the coming period, his time in office is effectively already counting down. There's deep internal contradiction within Britain regarding alignment with America. While objectively speaking, the UK is vastly inferior to the US in terms of power and capability, national pride still refuses to accept the idea of being seen as America’s subordinate. Of course, France shares similar sentiments. Therefore, no matter who becomes Prime Minister, excessive accommodation and alignment with the US will only intensify pressure from both the public and Parliament.
If Bhutta is truly intelligent, I’d even suspect whether issuing such a strategy might be a sign that he never really wanted the position of UK Prime Minister at all [watch]
