After all, he claimed he destroyed Iran's nuclear program and has claimed the war is over.

But then again, he makes a lot of bullshit claims.

Justice matters.

So which is which? 100% is the same as totally finished. Why does he need help??

10 Countries. 0 Warships.

Trump went hat in hand to the world after he imposed illegal tariffs on their goods, insulted and demeaned them, saying they took advantage of the US while they only do commerce with whoever wants to buy their products, including customers in the US. The world checked its phone and put it back in its pocket.

France said no. Officially. In writing. Germany said nothing, which is German for no. Norway said no. The UK is “discussing options with allies,” which is British for no. Japan stayed silent while 70% of its Middle East oil supply sits behind a minefield. South Korea watched Washington and Tehran play chicken with its own energy supply and declined to pick a side. China called it a sovereign right and hung up. Qatar didn’t just refuse. Qatar stopped production entirely and declared force majeure. Their energy minister did not mince words: this will bring down economies of the world.

Iran is still there. Still attacking ships. Still laying mines. Still holding the strait.

The most powerful military on Earth sent out the call. Ten countries heard it. The result is a number that requires no commentary: zero.

This is what the end of American power looks like in practice. A request for warships that came back empty. Washington spent decades telling the world that the US-led order was worth defending. The world has moved away from the US.

Justice matters.

His fealty to Putin is plain as day and everyone, starting with the media, takes it for granted now.

"US president bothsides in defense of Russian aid to Iran."

That's one I didn't see coming.

"Who could possibly blame Russia for helping Iran? The US helped Ukraine."

Even if it's a valid argument, it really shouldn't be coming from the US president.

It's blood, and every body needs blood to function. They don't want the US "securing" the strait any more than they want Iran "securing" it. They'll show up, but for self-interest, not for his threats. There are practical concerns.

The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations...


Nope. Nothing in there about bailing a NATO member out of a war in the Middle East that THEY STARTED.

GFY, Trump.
