We Don’t Need Anybody! We Just Need Somebody To Bail Us Out!

U.S. President Donald J. Trump lashed out at non-U.S. NATO nations today on his Truth Social app, calling NATO a “paper tiger” and lambasting them for their reticence to work with the U.S. to realize a framework that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz. pic.twitter.com/52iGA3i3OY

Trump doesn’t need help, but he does. The U.S. Navy can reopen the Strait with no risk, but we need NATO to do that.

Italy’s defence minister confirms our reporting today that Europe’s biggest naval powers won’t begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz until the conflict ends:

“No war mission. No entry into Hormuz without a truce and without an extended multilateral initiative.” https://t.co/PfHjKInb3L

Trump wants somebody to bail him out because Daddy’s not around to do it. But nobody’s coming to his rescue.

They want hostilities to end, first. Which put it back on Trump. No wonder he’s so upset.
