Trump is insane. He is threatening our allies again blaming them for not helping in trump's reckless "excursion" to

attack Iran, despite that he REFUSED to inform the allies that he was going to attack Iran without telling them, or consulting with them.

This piece of garbage along with his entire administration that occupies the WH, not only didn't consult with our allies on this, but has been threatening them and falsely accusing them of abandoning the NATO charter, and through Rubio threatening to leave NATO because of that.

He is such a dumb ass who is in the WH a second time because of the STUPIDITY of the voting public, and now the public seems upset only because they are paying higher prices for oil, not because of unilaterally attacking a country in the middle of negotiations twice, along with throwing the nuclear agreement with Iran in the trash can during his first term in the WH, instead of building on it.

Trump’s latest comments urging the UK and others to “take” jet fuel from the Strait of Hormuz are not surprising. He has repeatedly expressed frustration that Britain didn’t join the campaign against Iran. The UK, however, appears to be holding its position, going by Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recent remarks.

President Trump urged the UK and other countries facing jet fuel shortages due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz to buy supplies from the US or secure shipments themselves. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said nations would need to “start learning how to fight for yourself.” He added that Iran has been “essentially decimated” and told countries to “go get your own oil.”

Just-in from Donald Trump:
Tells Allies to Buy US Jet Fuel or ‘Take It’ From Hormuz
Says ‘Hard Part Is Done’ on Iran War
Trump to Other Countries Affected by Hormuz: Get Your Own Oil
Urges UK, Others to ‘Take’ Jet Fuel From Hormuz

I can't even imagine how our allies will ever trust the U.S. again after the damage this miserable deviant has done.

I wouldn’t help Trump too, aside from the ethics of getting involved.

Britain has been very keen to acquiesce to Trump, even allowing the US military to use its facilities for war related purposes.
