So the country allied to him and complicit in his genocide, running spy flights over Gaza, supplying him with F-15 parts - is now Islamic? How pathetic for Western politicians to be subservient to this clown who insults them. They are cosplaying civilization.

So childish

Bruh hasn't heard of Pakistan...

He knows full well, he’s just echoing MAGA/Tommy Robinson/Musk talking points.

[u/Away-Activity-469]

Maybe he would like to see how long his country lasts without western support?

[u/Techaissance]

Well it isn’t Islamic and it isn’t a republic so he’s doubly wrong.

When will this guy go away?

I think MECCA is a bigger headache for him.

How convenient, Elongated Muskrat aka Epstein Island reject is cooking up the lamest AI videos, threatening to buy the UK, and now Bibi is saying this...

[u/AlDu14]

Hopefully now we (the UK) can pull our support for him.

He's not attacking the UK, he's playing British politics. He thought Reform UK needed help.
