      Bullies always have a problem finding allies when the shit hits the fan. People with a speck of common sense and self-awareness are usually aware of this fact.

      If the UK sends a single person to help Trump in this quagmire I’ll be first in line to join the general strike that ensues.

      Starmer cannot afford to join the war because if he does, his position will be completely untenable.

      America can get fucked.

      Because it’s obvious Trump doesn’t want to send any ships in since a burning ship or dead sailors would destroy him in the mid terms.

      So he’s hoping another country does it instead.

      The thing is, no country wants to be the first one to volunteer because they might be the only country, and if one of their ships burn with dead sailors, their political career along with their party is over since their people will tear them a new one.

      It doesn’t matter what Trump promises them. They know Trump will never keep his word.

      Trump can blame himself for this, he treat his allies like servants and as a dictator of the world.

      He spent a year claiming he was going to steal land from them and now is begging them to bail him out of his own fuck up.

      The problem is, they really can’t even if they want to, which they don’t.

      Congrats moron, you don’t know how to do diplomacy, only bullying and you have pushed them far enough that even if war were ever justified you are not getting help. We are all less safe now thanks to this stupid fuck.

      I thought the US Navy was the most powerful in the world. They shouldn’t need any help. Besides, their President already announced they won the war. He also said they don’t need any help from anyone but seems to have changed his mind on that. As usual, Congress just watches and does nothing. Americans need to wake up.

      Trump started a war with Iran and expect EU countries to join? Take a hike.

      Wow. These are countries that just last year would have come to our aid with no questions asked. Trump has truly destroyed our soft power

      >“This is not our war, we have not started it. What does Donald Trump expect from a handful of European frigates in the strait of Hormuz that the mighty US navy cannot manage alone? This is the question I find myself asking.”

      Good keep it up until the American people remove him from office. Dude is a fkn traitor.

      After months of insults, threats, and trade wars; sentiment toward the US is in the gutter. Joining Trump’s coalition of the stupid would be political suicide for any major European leader.

      I wonder why. It is a conundrum. First he disrespects, then he shits on them, then he mocks them, then he ridicules them, then he punishes them, then he starts a fight with someone else and then he blames everyone for not wanting to be his bro.

      There are no more fucks to give.

      You don’t call all your allies stupid, losers, weak, and suckers, slap 200% tariffs on them, and then turn around and ask for their help a few months later. Who advises this clown?

    27. captain-jizz on

      Good. I really do think Trump and his gang of fools thought they could one shot Iran like they did Venezuela. They have the hubris and stupidity to really believe that.

      “What does Donald Trump expect from a handful of European frigates in the strait of Hormuz that the mighty US navy cannot manage alone?” That sounds pretty personal to me. It’s kind of weird that the Germans feel ballsy enough drop to a snide remark like this, considering Merz was as meek as a puppy sitting next to Trump in the oval office last, week while Trump blathered on about the war. I guess they feel like they’re stuck between a rock (wanting to keep the US in NATO) and a hard place (not getting drawn into the war).

      Trump, on Iran today:

      “You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all, because we don’t need it. We have a lot of oil. We’re the number one producer anywhere in the world times two.”

    32. dwair on

      Oh dear. How sad. You will have to deal with the consequences of starting a war on your own.

      U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that the Trump Administration does not need the assistance of allies in de-mining the Strait of Hormuz and opening the Strait of Hormuz to maritime commercial traffic. President Trump was either intentionally misstating the facts or is ignorant of the facts.

      The United States only retains four of fourteen Avenger-class minesweepers remaining in its arsenal. They are considered technologically obsolescent. The remaining Avenger-class minesweepers are reportedly stationed in Bahrain. The U.S. has converted Littoral-class ships (LCS) into minesweepers. So far, the US has converted three LCS ships into minesweepers, with plans to convert 12 more.
      LCS minesweepers have a number of shortcomings. They have been criticized for lacking survivability in a hostile combat environment. They are unarmored, lack speed, and lack maneuverability. US LCS ships are difficult to maintain and repair.

      Non-US NATO members have over 300 minesweepers and ships with minesweeper capabilities. South Korea has ten large, sophisticated minesweepers. Japan has thirty dedicated minesweeper ships. Australia has six minesweepers and New Zealand has three.

      I don’t blame them. He made this fucking mess. Now he can fucking deal with it. Fuck him and his petulant arrogance.
