When your politician is using the same terminology and phraseology as George W. Bush, I'd say there's probably some war mongering going on.
trivial edit: that was the most recent Starmer clip, from a week or two ago. I was on my phone and i only really remembered the coalition of the willing quote. I don't know much else about Starmer, sorry!
What exactly in that short clip is so controversial?
I listened to the full speech when it was broadcast live recently. Everything he said made complete sense. Of course Europe needs to stand up and defend its territory from russian invaders. You can't possibly believe that bolstering defence in Europe is tantamount to warmongering, surely?!
Some people just think war = bad. That’s fine. Maybe we can run an experiment where the pacifists get their own country and set their defense and foreign policy and see how long Pacifistlandia remains a sovereign country.
I suppose Winston Churchill was a warmonger in some ways, too, but thank goodness he was.
