it all depends how it pans out. If it escalates quickly, major powers will have to choose sides. A british tanker in the gulf is going to be a sitting target without protection and we just don't have the means for that without allies.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is more sabre rattling than anything else.

It's a historical fact that conservative governments merely protect British soil.

???

Jeremy Corbyn would definitely not get involved in any war, and I guess you’re referencing to Tony Blair which in fact was New Labour very different to labour today in some forms. And you’ll actually find it was a labour government under Harold Wilson that stopped us from being involved in the Vietnam war in the late 60s, even I know that and I wasn’t even alive.

Toppling that terror regime isn't exactly a bad thing, but they're not close or threatening to us for it to be worth the consequences.
