I read the headline sarcastically. Not sure it was meant that way

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Not sure either, but same. It sounds like a rather backhanded compliment.

Most certainly it is, in plainer words it says "he's a spineless twat"

[-] Nurgus@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

That's a critical headline.

In fairness, not much to be gained by Starmer upsetting toddler in Chief over this.

Except, you know, human decency. But the is as you put it "not much" these days.

Sure but there's not exactly a cacophony of world leaders demonstrating their human decency rught now is there.

UK (and Australia) are long standing allies of the US, with complex economic and military ties.

Say what you will about that relationship, but it shouldn't be surprising that the UK PM'S response is measured.

No one's surprised that the UK, Australia, etc. are upholding imperialism, the point is that that's bad.
