Donald Trump erupted at the United Kingdom Tuesday morning over its refusal to join the United States in its war against Iran, issuing the European nation a notice that the United States would no longer be offering it “help.”
“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
What a fucking loser.
And yet during this entire thing, like a battered spouse, Starmer has still been allowing US planes to use their bases. And will continue to do so.
I’m not saying the system was good (far, far from it) but this asshole walked into office and started dismantling 100 years of economic diplomacy and peace through trade. There’s no way you can tell me he isn’t a useful idiot for Russia.
And all it took was letting someone capture him doing the most vilest and evilist shit to children.
All it took was for virtually no one to do anything to stop him from doing whatever he wants
This being is the embodyment of pure evil. The accumulated evil and greed of the whole of America.
i cant wait until america takes that big shit. You know the one I mean. Everyone will feel so much better.
Probably said the same thing to his creditors - “Go get your own money. I can’t help you”.
the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore
They weren’t helping anyone else before.
At best, they were helping themselves (mostly) without actively interfering with others ability to do the same.
We (the UK) don’t need oil from the Strait of Hormuz. Most of that goes to Asian countries.
They’re far more likely just to pay Iran a nominal amount to keep it flowing.
The UK actually imports more from the US than anywhere else. We should stop propping up tinpot regimes, and buy from local friendly countries, or better still, just use a lot less of it.
or better still, just use a lot less of it.
Ultimately that would be the winning strategy.
Good. Trump’s “helping” hand is covered in blood and shit.
All friendships burned, all choices burning themselves, digging their own grave deeper and deeper. Total collapse is inevitable.
Remember all those Hollywood productions about post apocalypse worlds, only showing the US? I always wondered how the rest of the world would be. I guess just normal, it’s just the US being a post apocalypse hell hole.
And Trump did all of that just to try to distract everyone from him being a pedo sex offender buddy of Epstein.
Well that, and the footage they got of him decades ago in Moscow when he tried to get his businesses up over there. Golden showers and whatnot they say. By now it should be obvious to everyone what his assignment is: Final blow in the divide and conquer scheme that has been running in US since the soviet days. Social media and of course China joining the cause behind the curtains really gave this campaign a big boost.
Sounds like AfD has their marching orders from Putin as well. Trump has created a zeitgeist that would benefit the German far right and make in roads to dismantling NATO in short order.
The Brits supplying the airfield in Britain from which US long range bombers take off:
That’s on them for continuing to do it!
He’ll be never see it, but… get fucked you orange faced cunt.
Once again the “most powerful military on earth” has to beg for help to defeat a single rogue state, and throws a tantrum when they don’t get it.
He’s so incredibly stupid; honestly the biggest moron I’ve ever seen in any government.
He started this war, he didn’t think it through - it was well known attacking Iran would lead to them closing the strait of hormuz, and it would be extremely difficult to open it without a ground invasion. Israel has wanted to go after Iran for decades but every US president had common sense and said no. Trump has done what no President has ever done. The US allies are not stupid enough to be drawn into the this pointless war as it’s unwinnable.
Now this so-called “business man” doesn’t even know how global markets work. You remove 20% of the oil supply, then prices go up because demand goes up - you still have 100% of demand. The US isn’t protected from that as a net shale oil/gas exporter.
First: everyone in the world is bidding for oil and gas supplies so it goes to the highest bidder; thats how a market works - everyone ends up paying more including americans. Second: the US is a net exporter but it also imports a lot of gas and oil. It’s exports are driven by Liquid Natural Gas. But it imports Crude Oil, because it can’t produce enough of that for domestic demand. Third: As energy prices go up, you get “demand destruction”. In other words, some activities are no longer economical as the price of oil and gas is too high and obliterates profits. That means the global economy goes into decline - a recession. And the US is in no way insulated from that - it is totally integrated into the global economy.
Trump has fucked over the US, allies like the UK, Canada and EU and the rest of the world. This isn’t his allies’ war, and they’re not getting involved - it’s politically toxic and it’d just escalate this mess. Trump can get frustrated at the mess he’s made and lash out as much as he wants, but he can’t get away from this mess. He has two choices and both are shit: Invade Iran with troops or admit defeat and cave into the Iran’s demands. I suspect he will cave in and try and spin this as a “victory”.
Small correction: US consumers and businesses will be hit. The US oil & methane gas industry and their billionaires will pump out as much as they possibly can and sell to the highest bidder at ridiculous prices.
And there as many, many times before, we have one of the biggest reasons for this war.
Is it stupid? Yes it’s still stupid. But the better question is: is it evil? Even more so than you already thought.
Yup. Same thing happened when Russia invaded Ukraine. The US got a negligible amount of oil from Russia and prices still spiked. Gas and oil are global commodities.
Sounds exactly like what his admin did with PPE during COVID.
Except now the whole planet is stuck essentially Ebaying for essentials or paying Iran’s tolls.
That’s the correct speech. He’s preparing to abandon Israel alone at the war.
Israel will do a false flag “Iranian” terrorist attack, or release more Epstein files before they let him just walk away.
Ok, he may be only trying to mislead people and manipulate stock markets too.
But that’s the speech he’d use if he was intending to go away and abandon the war.
Hopefully this unites the Arab world against Isreal again, they have been bought off by the US for awhile but it’s time for a good Ole fashioned jihad.
But we have plenty of oil. Middle Eastern oil accounts for barely 2%.
