What would be the spin in what I said? British got dragged into this because of their alliances to Gulf states, their bases in Cyprus etc. It’s not like they came there to help the US in this war, even though their actions do help them out.
Anyone defending against Iranian strikes, even when defending themselves, is in effect helping the US out but it’s not like they’re doing that in order to help out the US.
The British actively allow the US to use their bases for refuelling and staging attacks. These are absolutely actions that directly help the US in the war. Anyone participating in a war of aggression is doing the opposite of defending themselves.

Right but we were talking about them sending more troops to Middle East, like the title says.

I’m talking about the Gulf states too or anyone who would be defending against Iran’s strike. By the act of defending yourself you would be helping out the US without your reason for the action being helping out the US, you know?
And those troops will obviously be used to support military activities against Iran. They’re not going to just sit there and jerk off. Gulf states are direct participants the same way brits are. They’re hosting US bases that are used for striking Iran. Calling that defending yourself is the height of idiocy.

From the article it sounds like they’re there to defend the Gulf allies and Cyprus/Cyprus base.

Easy there partner, I’m making the point that anyone even defending yourself against the missile would be helping the US even when it wasn’t their intention.
I’ll try to explain this to you one final time. These troops are ‘defending’ military bases which are used to attack Iran. Let me know what part of that you’re still struggling with. Bases that are used to attack Iran and countries hosting them are the aggressors.
It’s just that your first comment seemed to imply that the troops were going there with the goal of helping the US, when that wasn’t the goal but rather an effect from the goal of the troops defending the Gulf allies and Cyprus. That’s all. There’s really no need to get snarky about this, friend
Seems from the article that they’re there to help their allies in the Gulf. And Cyprus/the Cyprus bases.
USA would like to get them dragged more into the war though as in making attacks and whatnot.
They are very clearly participating and directly facilitating attacks on Iran. Let’s not try to spin this as anything other than that.
