Donald Trump entered his war of choice against Iran without consulting global allies, but as he weighs an exit from the conflict, he is making it clear that he is expecting the world to help him fix the unintended damage that it has caused.

Trump is taking an increasingly annoyed tone toward Europe’s lack of support for the U.S.-Israeli war effort. He also is giving short shrift to the fact that his decision contributed to disrupting the flow of oil to global markets through the crucial Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has managed to largely choke off even as Trump insists that Iran has been “decimated.”

    If he announces Iran has been decimated an eleventh time, then we’ll know he’s lying.

    The Narcissist’s Prayer:

    “That didn’t happen.”

    “And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.”

    “And if it was, that’s not a big deal.”

    “And if it is, that’s not my fault.”

    “And if it was, I didn’t mean it.”

    “And if I did, you deserved it.”

    Oil was flowing through the Strait fine without US help. Now look at what they did.

    Apparently the EU isn’t as willing to jump to the aid of a pedophile as America’s own technocrats are.

    I’m used to AP titles being pretty dry, but they have started putting some bite in them.

    I’d hope NATO actually makes a clear distinction between aggressors and defenders in a war. Trump has already twisted ‘national threat’ to justify whatever he wants, and while his own country seems fine with it, I can’t imagine international allies just going along with that kind of logic

    “Do what I want or I’ll hurt you.” I wonder how many little girls he said that to before he raped them. Ya know, cuz he’s a fucking pedophile and Americans put him in the White House and are keeping him there with the backing of the entire GOP.
