    “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.

    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.

    Must be tough for him, asking for consent is not something he’s used to

    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

    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”

      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.

    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.

    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…
