Chagos solved
I have press ganged a perfect tweeted proposition by Simon70 @SimonS1970
If I was Donald Trump, this is how I would handle Keir Starmer and the Chagos Islands.
I would remind Starmer that in 2021 Mauritius criminalised anyone who deny Mauritius's sovereignty over them, that's all the Chagossian people in exile. Starmer's deal therefore enslaves a people contrary to international human rights law to a country who doesn't recognise their indigenous rights.
As British sovereignty over the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar rests on the democratic will of both the Falkland islanders and Gibraltans, being that they overwhelmingly wish to remain British, well how does that tally with the Chagossian people, who wish to remain British, but have been given no democratic rights by the human rights lawyer Starmer?
I would ask Starmer if he wants to protect the democratic and human rights of all people, or whether the Chagossian people are simply collateral damage in regard to the fact that he is desperate for economic support to prop up the UK economy he's destroyed, from the CCP, which is why he's prepared to threaten both UK and USA national security to please the CCP and help them to project their imperialism?
Bearing in mind that he would not be able to answer the above, the deal he has done is clearly one that has betrayal of both the UK and USA and moral and ethical corruption at its core. I would then ask Starmer why - as Trump - I wouldn't voice my support for my great friend and South American ally, Milei in his Argentinian claim for the Falklands, or and equally importantly, why as a USA President looking to further entrench my interests in the Spanish-speaking South America, I wouldn't roll in behind Spain's claim for Gibraltar?
I would then put my deal on the table to Starmer, that is that the USA simply takes the stewardship of the Chagos Islands off the British. It does so granting the Chagossian people the right to return to their islands and instead of the British paying Mauritius to become colonisers, who by law deny the Chagossians their right to identify as British Chagossians, the British can contribute to a fund that the USA will match, to develop the islands for the Chagossians.
I would remind Starmer that the USA does not recognise the international criminal court on which he and Hermer based their spurious betrayal, rather it has just sanctioned them and that if the Chagossian people are happy with that deal, with their identity and indigenous human rights being protected by it, well the international criminal court would look even more corrupt and Marxist, a thing they share with both Starmer and Hermer, than they already are if they then turned round and denied the democratic will of the Chagossians.
Essentially I would leave Starmer in no doubt that the USA will do everything it sees fit to protect its national security interests, of which Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands are pivotal and that his deal which threatens it, is dead on delivery, more so because the USA already occupies Diego Garcia. I'd tell Starmer that he has the chance to save face internationally by putting the democratic will of the Chagossians at the forefront of our new "agreed deal", he becomes the champion of human rights he always pretends to be, again.
I would then tell Starmer that my price for not utterly destroying his tenure as PM of the UK, by threatening something more devastating, USA support for the UK's independent nuclear deterrent for instance, is Lord Hermer and Ed Miliband's heads on a plate. Once agreed I'd then be prepared to talk about tariffs and whether the economy, industry and business destroying Rachel Reeves is competent to be the UK's Chancellor in our "special relationship", which is now not as important because of Starmer than the real special relationship the USA now has with Europe, that between Trump and Meloni, who has a veto on anything Starmer may try to do with the EU to prop up the UK economy he's crashed.
I'd happily agree to all that and then as soon as Starmer left and put into practice what had been agreed, I'd continue to follow a path of regime change when it comes to Starmer and Labour as his betrayal to and courting of the CCP is unforgivable. And the only way Trump can make not only America, but the UK and Europe and greater western democratic civilisation and alliance great again, is the removal of all who epitomise our decline into communist totalitarianism and globalist authoritarianism.
Starmer is desperate, he would accept all of the above, he's also betrayed everyone on his path to power, so he'd betray his cabinet if Trump left him with one forlorn hope and carrot, a trade deal and economic growth and Meloni's support in the EU. Trump literally has Starmer's balls and his destiny in his hands and all of ours in the UK too, fortunately for us he has a soft spot for the UK, but not for Starmer which is why Starmer's attempt to play on Trump's ego with the pomp and circumstance of a UK state visit failed so predictably, with Trump inviting of the King to visit him, which led to Starmer's desperate grovelling to visit Trump last week.
