The Trump administration has repeatedly courted the Starmer government (a naïve move considering the UK government’s complicity in Russiagate and Starmer’s suppression of free speech) and while Starmer or Foreign Minister Lammy say all the right things when they’re face to face with Trump or Vance, a moment later they stab us in the back.
The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
For years, the UK, which controls a number of territories in the Caribbean where it bases intelligence assets, has helped the US locate vessels suspected of carrying drugs so that the US Coast Guard could interdict them, the sources said. That meant the ships would be stopped, boarded, its crew detained, and drugs seized.
But shortly after the US began launching lethal strikes against the boats in September, however, the UK grew concerned that the US might use intelligence provided by the British to select targets. British officials believe the US military strikes, which have killed 76 people, violate international law, the sources said. The intelligence pause began over a month ago, they said.
The UK’s ability to control any territories in this hemisphere very much depends on cooperation with the United States.
PM Keir Starmer is choosing to throw that way to protect drug cartels and a socialist terrorist regime in Venezuela.
And that’s something that may occasion a good deal of regret.
The most notable example of US support for British interests in this hemisphere was the Reagan administration’s decision to back the UK in the Falklands War, both publicly and covertly through intelligence sharing.
Once the White House committed to supporting Great Britain, even behind closed doors, the intelligence started flowing. Intelligence sharing included “compartmental, sensitive source programs,” including signals and communication intelligence. The NSA provided almost real-time, key signals intelligence to the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the U.K.’s intelligence agency, that helped the British task force protect its aircraft carriers, perhaps the most valuable assets of the British military. Although the GCHQ worked with the Royal Navy and put HMS Endurance in the area to intercept Argentinian radio traffic long before the invasion, the British could not break the Argentinian code. The NSA then stepped in and helped their GCHQ comrades.
However, the U.K. received intelligence beyond the signal intelligence stipulated by the Five Eyes agreement. The British received key intelligence on Argentinian military plans and intentions from the CIA’s A.G. Crypto operation. Moreover, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the intelligence agency that designs, launches, and operates spy satellites, relocated a satellite that was tracking Soviet movements in the Northern Hemisphere and dedicated it to the conflict. Using this raw data, the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) provided the U.K. with satellite imagery of the Atlantic Ocean west of the Falklands, the Falklands, and the small islands of South Georgia. Interestingly, the U.S. provided satellite imagery to both combatants: Under a U.S.-Argentine Memorandum of Understanding that the U.S. had to honor, NASA provided satellite imagery of the same areas to Argentina.
American assistance to the British campaign went beyond the sharing of intelligence. The Reagan administration allowed British aircraft and vessels to use American bases and provided logistical support. The U.S. military was even ready to lend aircraft carriers to the British in case theirs got damaged or sunk. The British also received support at the individual unit level. Delta Force, the U.S. military’s premier counterterrorism and hostage rescue unit, gave its British counterpart, the Special Air Service (SAS), cold-weather gear, FIM-92 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, and satellite phones.
Argentina was actually an important ally at the time. And while the average Brit has long since stopped giving a damn about the Falklands (and leftists never did), a lot of people in Argentina and South America remember and hate us over it.
Now PM Keir Starmer has stabbed America in the back to protect drug traffickers. And in the process has undermined a long history of intelligence sharing.
If the UK wants to engage in an intelligence sharing ‘pause’, that can go both ways, especially when it comes to the Ukraine war.
Drug Cartels and Drug Kingpins sell Poison to their kids and they choose to Look the other way
What do you expect from people who import Muslims by the millions who, in turn, terrorize British citizens while mooching of off British taxpayers?
Just like democrats here, they must be contributing to his slush funds.
Maybe the US should return the compliment by suspending intelligence on impending terrorist attacks in the UK.
The UK leftist elites believe that America should stop interfering in foreign affairs yet those same leftist elites interfere with Caribbean affairs because they are helping black people.
This is typical of leftists around the globe -whom by nature, are beholden to others – their tribal elders, the Soros network, dictators and their tyrannical juntas, fakenews, and assorted gurus on the left that dictate the talking points and narrative. By nature, leftists are lazy and shallow – instead of thinking for themselves, they prefer others do it for them. Hence the socialist “groupthink” and “groupspeak” are accepted. It covers for their deficiencies in many areas that define leftists, such as:
* A way to diffuse their personal responsibility (and not feel guilty, just like Nazi soldiers who said “we were just following orders”)
* For those who don’t seek or care much about TRUTH, it’s easier to let others do it for them.
* This is why their “herd mentality” is so prevalent amongst leftists.
* Also FEAR drives a lot of these unfortunate characteristics.
In short, leftists are pathetic, defective people who are morally-depraved, intellectually biased/ brainwashed / limited, lazy and apathetic, and fearful cowards who entrust humanity to their evil leftist elders who use them and manipulate them to further their sinister agendas.
My daily dose of humor, thanks 🙂
Regaining control of the Malvinas would certainly help Millei!
Perfidious Albion, indeed. Well, they will doubtless lose much intelligence sharing from Israel due to Starmer’s recognition of Palestine, and will lose much from the U.S. due to this. Good luck UK. You’ll need it.
We don’t the UK’s stinkin’ intel. We have our ships on station and eyes in the sky.
If today’s British leaders were in control in WWII instead of Winny, they would have the BBC announce convoy positions to the German wolfpacks at least five times a day. The BBC would be an organ of the Reich propaganda ministry……..Oh, wait
We don’t need “intel” from crap head Stah Mah and his crap labor party.
Don’t worry – Limeys have no intelligence to share. Mossad will keep America informed
Only maybe….. not giving any intell to nyc
