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.

    Are you daft?

    The Hormuz situation is about to precipitate a financial crisis the likes of which we have never seen.

      Do you remember when I asked you to elaborate and you evaded? Will the closure of Hormuz be worse than 2008, 2001(9/11), 1999? Hormuz seems like a financial crisis the likes of which we have seen.

      Climate change is going to disrupt every ecosystem on the planet.

        Ok mate. We will see what happens in the next few months. My supposition is that its going to be much worse than you anticipate.
