Trump Tells Starmer: We Don’t Need Your Aircraft Carriers For War We Already Won by OLAADEGBU(op): 12:15pm On Mar 08

The President warned the US will 'remember' the lack of support from 'our once great ally'

Special relationship in tatters after President Trump tells Starmer 'we don't need your aircraft carriers for war we've already won' in explosive broadside

Donald Trump last night told Sir Keir Starmer he does not need the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers in a new blow to the so-called Special Relationship.

In an explosive broadside, the president warned the US will 'remember' the lack of support from 'our once great ally' and suggested the Prime Minister was attempting to join a war after it had already been won.

He posted on his Truth Social platform: 'The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East.

"That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer - But we will remember. We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!'

The UK government has not joined the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which began last weekend, with the PM emphasising last Sunday that Britain 'will not join offensive action now'.

But it has accepted a request from the States to use its military bases for the 'specific and limited defensive purpose' of destroying Iran's missiles 'at source'.

This not what the world wants at this moment...

Meanwhile,

To all the kids on nairaland who thinks the America in real life is the same America in HOLLYWOOD MOVIES, I need to educate you all about how America created the Monster (Iran) she can no longer tame:

After reading what I am about to share, ignorance won't be an excuse anymore except you have decided to remain ignorant forever.

Iran was considered a democracy in the early 1950s under Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, who was democratically elected, though this era was cut short by a 1953 CIA-orchestrated coup that reinstated the Shah
. Prior to that, it operated as a constitutional monarchy with, at times, significant democratic movements.

On Aug. 19, 2013, the CIA publicly admitted for the first time its involvement in the 1953 coup against Iran's elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh.

https://www.npr.org/2019/01/31/690363402/how-the-cia-overthrew-irans-democracy-in-four-days

The overthrow of the Shah in the Iranian Revolution, 1979 ...

Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi (1919–1980) (America's puppet) was the last Shah of Iran, reigning from 1941 until his overthrow in the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Faced with widespread discontent, economic hardships, and intense opposition led by Ayatollah Khomeini, he fled the country in January 1979, ending 2,500 years of monarchy. He died in exile in Egypt in 1980.

On February 28, 2026 America bombed an elementary school in Iran using old Intel.

The munition could have hit the school because old intelligence showed it to be a military target, according to four sources familiar with a U.S. military probe's preliminary findings.

https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/old-intelligence-likely-led-us-strike-iran-elementary-school-rcna262967

Shouldn't it bother you that a " World Super Power" is using old data in a current war against an enemy? This only confirms almost all their weapons are old school in a modern age...Iran knew this, reason they could easily fooll America's satellite images with cheap paintings of Fighter Jets on the floor.

Iran has more missiles than anyone thought — Trump

https://tribuneonlineng.com/video-iran-has-more-missiles-than-anyone-thought-trump/

Why would you go into a battle blindfolded, Aren't you supposed to study your enemies strength and weakness before going to war? Trump's America did none of that.

US Navy tells shipping industry Hormuz escorts not possible for now.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-navy-tells-shipping-industry-hormuz-escorts-not-possible-now-2026-03-10/

Since Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, America cannot even reopen it with all her 'military might", America cannot even escort ships. Who is now the paper tiger?

US pump prices surge as Iran war upends global energy supply.

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-pump-prices-surge-iran-war-upends-global-energy-supply-2026-03-07/

Now, everyone is feeling the pain including America for a senseless war orchestrated by a confused Trump administration.

WHAT HAS AMERICA ACHIEVED IN THIS WAR?

- Iranians have become more united as against the wish of America for the citizens to topple their government.

- Iranians can now justify the reason for making an endless amount of Nuclear Weapons as against the wish of America preventing them from having one.

- Iran now decides who passes through the strait of Hormuz, only China are allowed a free pass while America and her allies are not allowed to pass.

Trump is his own hype man. I won't take everything he says seriously but I commend him for constantly giving his people updates on the war, he is never too busy for his own people, whose mandate he is standing on. My president that is not busy with war (he has Boko Haram and bandits) does not even bother talking to me. They want me to be blaming Mehdi Hasan and Bwala. They came to power with propaganda, they cannot even pretend to care about us and let the President talk to us even if it's lies. What a bulala

Kemi is too old fashioned for UK . look at other Europeans not wanting to get involved. They should never have gone to war in Iran. Nobody wants war in 2026.

Ok if you have won then why first asking the UK, France and Spain support?

Go and fight the war yourself since you believe you are winning.

Na wa for nairaland o.

This was a statement he made about 7 days ago.

The UK's under heavy Direct Foreign Investments 4rm several Arab nations, plus electoral voting considerations. Hence the pressure from Stammer.

And Trump has been very difficult to relate with recently (due to his protectionism policies) making the USA very unpredictable and highly undependable as a very close ally.

So I can understand how tough it is for Stammer.

But I tell you, just like Carney of Canada, it will still be better for both leaders to stay on US's side and manage Trump's troubles for the next 2 years than jumping to the Arabs and China respectively.
