"I say this gently and respectfully: It's time for the political leadership in the United Kingdom to embrace adulthood, and it's time for them to start paying their bills, and time for them to start spending money on the military."
"Now, I know the Prime Minister said we're going to do better, and he and some of our other allies in Europe are talking about now spending 3.5% of their GDP on defence, and another 1.5% on infrastructure in support of defence. It's a lot of talk so far."
"They're not really going to spend any serious money until 2030, and I can assure you that Sir Keir will not be around as prime minister of the United Kingdom in September or October or January of 2030."
"He's polling right up there with gonorrhea in terms of popularity. That's just a fact."
Senator John Kennedy criticized the UK for inadequate military investment, claiming that significant funding increases are unlikely before 2030. He noted the government's plans to raise defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 and 3% by 2029, but expressed skepticism about these commitments. Kennedy emphasized the need for UK political leadership to take military spending seriously, stating that current discussions are merely talk. He humorously remarked on Sir Keir Starmer's low popularity, comparing it unfavorably to gonorrhea, and predicted Starmer's absence from leadership by 2030.
