President Donald Trump, who has been pressing allies to help safeguard the critical waterway, fumed on Tuesday that the U.S. is not getting support “despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot” be allowed to secure a nuclear weapon.
What does he think NATO is? Isn’t the treaty to protect against aggression, not be the aggressors?
Hm, many NATO countries actually did the latter for the US in the past.
The US was actually attacked at that time. Iraq was a different story and “coalition of the willing” was used.
Psst ,9 11 was a false flag operation and with inside help from …
NATO’s Article 5 was invoked only once, by the US. Trump had the audacity to insult (former?) allies and deny that ever happened.
I think it’s great no one wants to join his unsanctioned war.
Certifiably false.
Sorry, wat? Attacked by who? Saudis? The official reason for the yet another illegal war was that Saddam was amassing WMDs - do you see any familiar made up cause here?
these psychopaths believe ripping babies apart is self defense. they have no souls or humanity.
That’s not what Putin told him.
He believes he is the king of the world and NATO is a human resources investment similar to the many departments of Trump Kingdom LLC.
Far as he’s concerned, who cares if that’s not their job or intention. He’s paying the bills damn it - he pay the bill, plebs do what he says. It’s really that simple.
A human resources investment which he has cut the funding for
How long before he explicitly demands to speak to the manager of NATO. I guess in some ways he already has.
Narrator: Trump never pays his bills
Trump paid a bill? Nah, that doesn’t sound right.
I mean, some NATO nations have been known to join the US in a dumb fight. But Trump has also directly tariffed and threatened many of the nations that would normally help the US. Friends are gonna be short supply.
Americans can’t afford to buy stuff now anyway, it’s not like they were going to get a lot of trade. We can barely afford our rent/groceries and hundreds are getting laid off every week.
Spit your allies/friends in the face and see what you get …
I wouldn’t be surprised if trump is looking to use this for an eventual “out” … throw a tantrum that he’s not getting help so he’ll pull out of the gulf region completely, only do the bombings but leave the strait and it’s cargo issues as the unresolved mess they are.
