“I have been telling Prime Minister Keir Starmer, of the United Kingdom, that Leases are no good when it comes to Countries, and that he is making a big mistake by entering a 100 Year Lease with whoever it is that is ‘claiming’ Right, Title, and Interest to Diego Garcia, strategically located in the Indian Ocean. Our relationship with the United Kingdom is a strong and powerful one, and it has been for many years, but Prime Minister Starmer is losing control of this important Island by claims of entities never known of before. In our opinion, they are fictitious in nature. Should Iran decide not to make a Deal, it may be necessary for the United States to use Diego Garcia, and the Airfield located in Fairford, in order to eradicate a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous Regime – An attack that would potentially be made on the UK, as well as other friendly Countries.”
“Prime Minister Starmer should not lose control, for any reason, of Diego Garcia, by entering a tenuous, at best, 100 Year Lease. This land should not be taken away from the UK and, if it is allowed to be, it will be a blight on our Great Ally. We will always be ready, willing, and able to fight for the UK, but they have to remain strong in the face of Wokeism, and other problems put before them. DO NOT GIVE AWAY DIEGO GARCIA!” posted the President of the United States on Wednesday, plainly unable to recall how to spell Mauritius, the Indian Ocean archipelago nation set to gain sovereignty over Diego Garcia but obviously not full control given the 100-year base lease.
It’s not clear why, if Diego Garcia – uninhabited by any civilian population since the British forcibly removed about 280 locals in the early 1970s – is so important, that Trump won’t just step in and ask Mauritius to name a price for the territory since that worked out so well with Greenland.
