        The US was actually attacked at that time. Iraq was a different story and “coalition of the willing” was used.

          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.

          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?

      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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

    so the NATO that he trashes all the time, and wants the US to abandon, won’t help him in his entirely unnecessary War that he’s thrown his country into, purely in an attempt to divert attention from his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein… How surprising.

      I don’t believe that, it’s so he can try to cancel the mid terms by being at war. He might have just done it bit earlier due to that.

    “Mum. MUM. MUMMMMMMMMM!”
    “WHAT?”
    “Clean me. I’ve did a whoops in my pants.”
    “Again? Oh FFS.”

    two minutes later

    “MUMMMMMMM.”
    WHAT?
    “Clean me. I’ve done another whoopsy. It stinks.”
    “NO, clean up your own mess.”
    “OMG, THIS IS SO UNFAIR. I’M GOING TO HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE TO TELL THE WORLD HOW YOU WON’T CLEAN UP MY SHIT!”

    Reads like a text chat between an incel and a woman on the internet.


    Trump: You are stupid. You are ugly and fat. I’m so much better than you ever will be and also fuck all our agreements. Null and void. And you owe me $13.47 for that coffee I paid for.

    Them: stares confused . Then watches their economies be negatively impacted by trump.

    Trump: hey we are buddies right? Come help me bomb civilians.

    Them: no thanks.

    Trump: you are a stupid fat ugly bitch and I don’t need you anyway.

    Trump (next day): how’s it going? . So when are you deploying your troops to help out at the straight?

    Them: blocks trump

    The far right criticizes NATO when they either don’t do “enough” by their standards (even though NATO is purely a defensive alliance), or “too much” by defending against Russian aggression.

    Oh, I see what’s going on now.

    Trump’s main goal is Putin’s goal. Weaken the United States and its allegiances.

    Now that he’s been “rebuffed” by NATO, he’s got even more justification to weaken NATO and the UN.

    Cute checkers move.

    He’s being"rejected" by a group that he has spent the last year shitting on?

    Gee, what a surprise…
