There is so much that is 'wrong' about the UK's response to this:
1. May wants to curry favour with Trump to stay on the right side of him for future trade talks.
2. The UK wants to continue to maintain and hold up its perceived position as a saviour of the world. Unfortunatley we carry about as much respect in this new world as another third world country...who exactly is GB these days?
3. We have 4 nuke subs, 2 of which are at sea at any one time....that's IT.
4. Are we really going to contribute to collateral killing of Russian troops and precipitate a possible nuclear war?
5. What is the UK's end game? EVERYTIME we have interfered in another country's war, we have made it WORSE!
Chemical weapons are just another form of WEAPON. What's the difference between chemical weapons and conventional weapons? They are designed to do the same job.
The UK needs to wake up and smell the coffee. We are a second class economic nation and a third class military force. Let's concentrate on what we are good at - erm there is...? ooh, um then there is?
