Wow, wow, wow -- Google Gemini initially mis-reported this story. Asking Google Gemini again, Google Gemini updated its report. FIRST REPORT:
Updated report just 30 seconds later:
It appears the UK prime minister changed its policy after receiving a request from countries in the Mideast, not changing its policies at the request of the US, but rather at the request of Muslim countries in the Mideast. Marco Rubio will probably sort this out at the appropriate time, but it certainly appears the UK "stepped into it." The UK, with a huge Muslim population, apparently value their friendship with the Mideast Muslims more than their friendship with the US. It gets tedious.

The bomber issue. Link here.
March 1, 2026:
- from a military point of view, the biggest US concern is adequate land-based bombers
- so far only the B-2 has been involved
- the British refusing US to use Diego Garcia is major detriment to US war-fighting capabilities -- Trump won't take this well -- our closest ally (?) (Britain) denying use of Diego Garcia;
- we all know how this war will play out; no access to Diego Garcia will simply drag the war out but won't alter outcome
- could US base B-52s out of Israel; Saudi Arabia?
- this is not air superiority; this is air dominance -- huge difference;
- Israel says it has complete freedom of the airspace
