Didn’t he ask for China’s help recently? Nothing projects strength like begging for help from the people you supposedly have some grand plan to hinder in some way.
I don’t understand. Wasn’t the turd bragging not long ago about how it has the bestest strongestest military of the world and doesn’t need any help from NATO? Why the tamtrum now?
Remember the European discourse during the Greenland tantrum - they were trying to leverage peace, sovereignty through saying …but, but allies. My assumption is that the current tantrum is a response to that, conscious or not
Must be tough for him, asking for consent is not something he’s used to
To be fair, he still hasn’t asked. NATO officials have stated they’re yet to receive a formal request
All his “requests” have been Truth social ramblings
Dunno why, mate, the very people you've threatened with taking their independence from, for "strategic" reasons, now don't want to help you in a war you started completely unnecessarily? That's a real head scratcher...
I am confused by the title wording because from all I can find no ally is coming to join, at best they are just looking to let their ships through (meanwhile American ships be considered fair game.)
The title is really poorly punctuated I think. I think it’s trying to say “Trump says he’s been rejected by NATO/most allies to join mission to secure critical Strait of Hormuz”
It’s a bad case of news title wording which is a holdover from newspaper days. There’s little reason to economize on letters now and people could be writing proper grammatical sentences instead, but they don’t.
Most ships are.not “flagged” in the US, small obscure countries make money his way.
Most ships are not heading to the US but eventually the energy will generate trade which will head to the US.
US economy benefits a lot by having the US dollar as the world currency. “Petrodollar”. By crashing the global economy with oil and an Idiot to blame for causing the mess, Iran can destabilize that whole economic balance.
“Pedodollar” haha.
Allies?
Why are the people he stabbed in the back not helping him?
he will use this as an excuse to leave NATO.
a false flag attack will happen with the four stolen USAF drones.
and WW3 will begin soon after.
After everything he did for them. What a bunch of ungrateful bastards! Not even Greenland as conciliatory gift, such a jerks.
Did they even thank him?
It’s like a school bully crying because nobody came to his birthday party.
“Trump says he’s been rejected by all of the people he called losers and cheapskates. Considering new insults to get them back on board.” That should be the headline big media.
Next time build your coalition before going to war. This is all on Trump and Netanyahu. They own this shit.
They’ll blame it on democrats somehow
It’s all Obamna’s fault
Somehow
Palpatine returnedDemocrats did it.You can’t invoke Article 5 if you did the attacking.
Right now it is in the interest of other NATO countries to see the US weakened militarily and politically. The US stopped being an ally as soon as Trump threatened to annex Canada and Greenland.
