We've just heard from US President Donald Trump, who has called Nato allies "cowards" and said it would be "easy" for them to allow ships to safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Here's his post on Truth Social in full:
"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.
"So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!"

He's a proper cunt.
What do you call a grown man who hits a 13 year old girl who bites his cock when forcing her to suck him off?

Well, the united snakes call him "Mr. President".

Yeah, this is the position of the US officially, whether they personally agree with it or not. Well underscored.

I call that a rapist of children.

It's easy for them but not for the "greatest military in the world"? Seems like an admission of incompetence.

The enemy is both strong and weak.
Now, where did I hear that before...?

This guy is dangerous to the entire world. We would all be better off without him.

Well, his actions HAVE caused global prices to sky-rocket. The American republicunts may have voted for him, but their actions are killing thousands of people in multiple countries and making it more expensive for the rest of us.
American christofascist imperialism is killing the world.

Without him we would have Vance who is arguably worse
LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz · 5 pts · 135d
Vance may be worse, but he doesn't have the charisma or followers.
Someday a new trump will show up, but it certainly isn't going to be Vance.

Lol, I thought the US didn't need them

Narcissists need constant wins, the only way to get that, is arbitrarily "ending" something the second you believe you have an advantage, and then acting like it continuing is a new instance. Like a bully who hits someone but genuinely feels slighted when they respond seconds later.
So he believes he won a war, and Iran continuing to fight is a separate thing.
Not trying to say his train of thought is logical.
Just saying it's more illogical that people don't put in the two seconds effort to understand how these powerful idiots think.
They're incredibly predictable

If their military is defeated why do they need our help?
Oh yes, he wants cannon fodder. Allied troops dying won't harm him politically

he needs something to continue feeding the MSMs, so they wont go back to talking his epstein files.

Yeah, we did that in Afghanistan and look what fucking good it did. 158 Canadians died just to put the Taliban right back in power after the US fucked the war that they started. I know people who lost friends in that shitshow. All for nothing.

If it's so easy how come you can't do it Donnie?
Geobloke@aussie.zone · 12 pts · 136d
You know what's easier? Doing fucking nothing, which is what we'd preferred you'd have done
finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 136d
If it's so easy, go get Barron to do it, you munted orange shit runnel.

Insulting and belittling your allies is a sure-fire plan. Double-down if it falters.
Jiral@lemmy.org · 4 pts · 135d
Insulting? He was threatening with invasion and annexation of territory.

If it would be easy for them, it should be absolutely no problem for the by far biggest army, airforce, and marine of the world, should it?

I thought this war was going to be done in 3 days, you are telling me that all the USA military budget is not enough to win a war against (*checks notes*) Iran?
100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it · 2 pts · 135d
The USA military budget is needed to make rich people richer, not to win wars.

You first, Donald. Lead from the front.

Honestly, he's already tried to drag them into this quagmire he allowed Israel to create.

Even if that were true and even if there was a different administration, the US has been a bad partner in crime. Remember the mayhem when they pulled out of Afghanistan.
