We Will REMEMBER!' Donald Trump Scorches NATO 'COWARDS

President Donald Trump denounced the United States' NATO allies in a scorched earth Truth Social post fired off on Friday morning.
"Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn't want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran. Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don't want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices," wrote Trump. "So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
Last Sunday, Trump told the Financial Times that he expected America's NATO allies to assist in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
"It's only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there," he argued. "If there's no response or if it's a negative response, I think it will be very bad for the future of NATO."
European leaders have since furnished the negative response Trump feared, and the president has made his feelings about it known.
"The United States has been informed by most of our NATO 'Allies' that they don't want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon. I am not surprised by their action, however, because I always considered NATO, where we spend Hundreds of Billions of Dollars per year protecting these same Countries, to be a one way street — We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need," declared Trump on Tuesday. "Fortunately, we have decimated Iran's Military — Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti-Aircraft and Radar is gone and perhaps, most importantly, their Leaders, at virtually every level, are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern Allies, or the World, again! Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer 'need,' or desire, the NATO Countries' assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Trump has always wanted the US out of NATO, but why? NATO acts a counterforce to Trump's ambitions to divide the world up between himself, Putin , and Xi. His base also considers western Europe to be weak minded compared to the Russian and eastern Europeans authoritarians. Then there is the white nationalist component which would like to pattern the US after Russia. Its all bad.
Maybe if they knew in advance that it was going to happen, they might have joined. You don’t just move a warship half way around the world in a couple hours.
If it’s won, then you can stop whining about needing help to guard a tiny little stretch of water.
The cynic in me sees it as his only possible exit strategy.
"WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!"
The 'anyone' agrees with you. Have fun!
But, PLEASE, for the love of God! Send help!
What Trump doesn't seem to understand is that NATO works with us. Not for us.
The more Trump escalates the situation in Iran, the greater the risk to worldwide supplies of oil.
Result of this escalation?
Higher prices in terms of loss of life (which includes U.S. armed forces).
Also much higher prices for oil . . .
How many Americans want that?
But Trump said higher oil prices are making us rich!
Who? makes a lot of money? It certainly isn't the American citizen
