Pretty sure wanting to invade other countries is a requirement for being the br*tish PM. It's engraved in the king's scepter or something

I'm pretty sure the US and UK aren't going to invade my country but they sure do talk about it a lot for someone who isn't at least seriously considering it
My 'I'm not planning on invading the Netherlands' shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
Seriously, though, this isn't the first time?
Oh god no
The US notoriously has a law (usually dubbed The Hague Invasion Act) allowing their president to invade the Netherlands if any US imperial soldiers were to be detained by the ICC
Occasionally it'll come up and some US government official or senator or sth will go into the traditional American bloodrage and demand to invade if those sneaky anti-war crimes people at the ICC try anything. Most recently it happened when the chief prosector at the ICC requested arrest warrants for a few Israeli officials
at the ICC requested arrest warrants for a few Israeli officials
The US will say "Sorry ICC. Israel is covered under our law. Also - fuck you." Emphasis mine.
American Service-Members' Protection Act
The American Service-Members' Protection Act (enacted August 2, 2002), known informally as The Hague Invasion Act, is a United States federal law described as "a bill to protect United States military personnel and other elected and appointed officials of the United States government against criminal prosecution by an international criminal court to which the United States is not party".
The Act gives the president power to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court".
ya, I don't remember the specific language they used in response to the warrant request but it was literally sth like 'an attack on Israeli sovereignty is an attack on US sovereignty'
For every country, at any given time the chances of an US invasion could be low, but they're never zero

Should've done it, might've hastened the sinking of TERF island.
EDIT: Lmao to steal the covid vaccine, sure dude, fuck off and die.
Like fuck. He gave next to zero shits about COVID response unless it was a way of shovelling tax payer money into his and his cronies' hands.
Yeah, he doesn't stand for or believe in anything in particular (very few in British politics do, at the end of the day). He planned to sell himself as a pro EU guy if remain won the Brexit vote in 2016.
The deputy chief of the defence staff, Lt Gen Doug Chalmers, told the prime minister the plan was “certainly feasible” and would involve using rigid inflatable boats to navigate Dutch canals.
Bullshit, the dude was like "damn this sounds awesome it's gonna be just like Half-Life 2 I have to do this". Feasibility at no point entered the equation.

he just wants to sell a book
