We’ve just heard from US President Donald Trump, who has called Nato allies “cowards” and said it would be “easy” for them to allow ships to safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Here’s his post on Truth Social in full:

"Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran.

"Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices.

“So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!”

He’s a proper cunt.

What do you call a grown man who hits a 13 year old girl who bites his cock when forcing her to suck him off?

Well, the united snakes call him “Mr. President”.

It’s easy for them but not for the “greatest military in the world”? Seems like an admission of incompetence.

Narcissists need constant wins, the only way to get that, is arbitrarily “ending” something the second you believe you have an advantage, and then acting like it continuing is a new instance. Like a bully who hits someone but genuinely feels slighted when they respond seconds later.

So he believes he won a war, and Iran continuing to fight is a separate thing.

Not trying to say his train of thought is logical.

Just saying it’s more illogical that people don’t put in the two seconds effort to understand how these powerful idiots think.

They’re incredibly predictable

Even if that were true and even if there was a different administration, the US has been a bad partner in crime. Remember the mayhem when they pulled out of Afghanistan.

If their military is defeated why do they need our help?

Oh yes, he wants cannon fodder. Allied troops dying won’t harm him politically

he needs something to continue feeding the MSMs, so they wont go back to talking his epstein files.

Yeah, we did that in Afghanistan and look what fucking good it did. 158 Canadians died just to put the Taliban right back in power after the US fucked the war that they started. I know people who lost friends in that shitshow. All for nothing.

Without him we would have Vance who is arguably worse

Vance may be worse, but he doesn’t have the charisma or followers.

Someday a new trump will show up, but it certainly isn’t going to be Vance.

I thought this war was going to be done in 3 days, you are telling me that all the USA military budget is not enough to win a war against (*checks notes*) Iran?

The USA military budget is needed to make rich people richer, not to win wars.

If it would be easy for them, it should be absolutely no problem for the by far biggest army, airforce, and marine of the world, should it?
