Trump asks allies for naval forces to help protect the Strait of Hormuz. His plea was ignored. It's America alone.

And that’s his fault, too.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP

He will use them and discard them.
Throw them under the bus.
And blame them for all problems.

But in the meantime we are bombing the hell out of the shoreline. His followers think that makes sense.

since they've been getting hit with them continuously for the past 3 1/2 years, and Trump spat in his face.

He's doing his best to make our country as isolated and hated as possible.

"The owner of the largest navy in the history of the world would like sailors from other countries to die in a war he started without consulting anyone.

Pass, thanks."

and went forward with Israel to bomb bomb Iran, killed the leaders of Iran and I also heard the negotiator who were tying to help peacefully resolve this matter where killed too.

Unfortunately, children and staff at school was bombed as well, killing most of them.

US soldiers died as well from attacks of Iran and jet crashes.

shithole and comrades had no plan.

He'll be lucky if no one kidnaps him in the middle of the night.
