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.

    “I would also like to remind you that the U.S. and Israel did not consult us before the war, and that Washington explicitly stated at the start of the war that European assistance was neither necessary nor desired,” Kornelius said.

    Literally no official channel from the US has asked NATO. (Rage tweets are not official) The US was not attacked so it can’t invoke article 5. No one from NATO needs to help this American war adventurism.

      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.

    He’s been rejected by everybody he’s ever met. That’s probably why he’s a rapist and a predator.

    “We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need.”

    I thought the US already destroyed 100% of the Iranian military? If I were an ally, it would sound to me like the help is not needed as there is no military remaining to fight.

      Like how the US protected Ukraine when it gave up its nukes, trusting that the West and NATO would protect them if Russia decided to invade?

      I know, that invasion began between Orange Man’s two terms, but still. The US in general needs to STFU about how it supposedly protects the world, they dropped the ball bigtime there.

    NATO was created as a defensive measure to present a combined defence in the event of being attacked.

    It was NOT created to provide back up to a wannabe Napoleon with tiny dick syndrome because he decides to start a war on his own.

        A valid point and frankly still a stain on the organisation that they failed to justify. History aside it does not alter the fact of why it was created and why it should not be aiding the Fanta Fuhrer now.

    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

    As always, “Trump says” is garbage headlining. Means about as much as “Third-grader blames family dog for misssing homework”.

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