I1L2T3 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 there is no requirement for parliament to approve or disapprove any of this Technically probably not, but morally absolutely there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockdoctor Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Nothing to stop the US and France going ahead without us. And I wouldnt consider the support of a party associated with terrorism itself to be a ringing endorsement of May’s actions. I mentioned the DUP because you said no way would Parliament authorise the action. Any vote would have been close. In any case there were no parliament votes about the two World Wars, the Falklands Conflict or the first Gulf War. I believe it was Tony Blair who started Parliament voting on such matters and the current Prime Minister doesn't have to copy him before taking military action against other countries.

Lockdoctor Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Yeah, killing children is the mark of greatness isn't it? The UK, America and France have attacked chemical weapon sites in Syria and not Syrian children. It is Assad who has targeted and killed children.

I1L2T3 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 We need to take a stand and show the world what the Brits are made off Time to show the world what a great nation we are Let’s start that off my stopping the supply of weapons to the Saudi state that are used in attacks on Yemeni civilians. And by not providing political cover for attacks by the Israeli government for attacks on Palestinian civilians. Let’s show we’re great by not helping other states kill children. Let’s start there. ---------- Post added 14-04-2018 at 12:32 ---------- The UK, America and France have attacked chemical weapon sites in Syria and not Syrian children.

tinfoilhat Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Simple answer - capability. Complex answer - because most other EU countries do not see themselves as enforcers. Only the UK and France see themselves as having a duty to strike across the world and are the only ones with the capability to do so within a short space of time. It is easy to forget though that when it comes to 'boots on soil' that the NATO partners most definitely contribute. My cousin has just come back from one of the most dangerous overseas campaigns in Mali for example. There is also a much higher degree of jingoism in the UK and the US in particular than there is in other countries. Normally I'd agree with you on the jingoism bit but if you took a straw poll around the country, there wouldn't be a deal of support over this - certainly not a majority.
