    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

      Yup. It’s really as simple as that. Trump is a sociopathic abuser, and the macro version of that is essentially the same as the micro.

    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.

      Further to that, they all recognize the folly of the whole thing and don’t want to get mired in the disaster that Trump has triggered.

    “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.

      according to him a number can be reduced by up to 1500%, so if they’ve done 100%, they’re only 6.67% done

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

    “Guys! GUYS! You really depend on the oil that flows through the Strait so come and help me open it!”

    “But your actions closed it in the first place.”

    “OMG I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU WON’T HELP! :`(”

    Fuck me, this is what international politics and diplomacy have become.

    NATO is a defensive alliance, not to be invoked when you get bribed by the zionists to start a war you cant finish. Our NATO allies owe us nothing in this situation but lawsuits for US/Israeli terrorism and destroying the oil markets.

        If I recall correctly the yugoslavian communist serbs organized under the JNA had decided to cleanse their muslim population. Not that NATO cared specifically about genociding muslims (I think we all see that now) , but they did care about a previously “centrist” communist organization that disavowed Alliance with Russia creeping visibly closer to russian influence and becoming a satellite state, which seemed inevitable. So the war was about kneecapping a communist movement. Even though democracies like to claim they are all about letting their citizens decide their own government, they will not willingly let communism prosper, and proxy wars are preferred to direct ones.

    American people could think of it anther way. By not getting involved, other countries are attempting to keep this as a bad idea by Trump and not full on WWIII which would probably be the result if NATO got involved now. What you really need is some adults in the room in the WH who convince Trump that it is his brilliant genius idea to just walk away.

      Yeah but you also assume reason on the other side. That’s not granted. The joke now would be for the US to just walk away and Iran to re-open the strait EXCEPT for ships with a US interest (and probably Israel’s). “Retribution for the damages.”
