Trump lashes out at UK and France, telling allies 'the U.S.A. won't be there to help you anymore'

Trump singled out the U.K. and France for criticism over their stance on the Iran war.
The President has expressed his disdain for European allies that have refused to take part in the U.S. and Israel’s military operation.
Europe tends to view the Iran war as one of choice, and is wary of getting involved.

He's throwing his fit.

1. Rape mentality

Jeez they don't want to join in the rape of a country like Jeffery, his best friend ,would join in . sad.

2. Until he's dead anyway.

3. Italy also denied the use of the Sigonella airbase in Sicily for bombers involved in Iran War

Let's remember that despite Meloni's constant entreaties, Trump treats her like he treats other women: poorly. He did not alert her to beginning of the Iran War, which left her in the embarrassing position of having her own Minister of Defense stuck in Dubai on a family vacation! Crosetto seems to have been annoyed by this as well, though he hung around in Dubai with two of his kids for a little while to save face.

4. Worst of wish's for TSF!!!

5. One minute he says we don't need any help, his next breath he's crying 😢.

6. Trump again demonstrates he's unfit to be president.

It’s perfectly appropriate for our allies to refuse to participate in Trump’s unwarranted, illegal war.

7. It's all their fault!

Now watch him stick them with the bill. Strait of Hormuz? Your problem, not mine.

Spoiled rich kid makes mess for others to clean up. Moves on to next mess. Story of his life.

8. The USA will stand by their allies after the Madman in the Oval Office is gone.

Trump is completely swept by his bully culture. He thinks he wins people over by being a bully. The sad thing is that he's not able to absorb what is happening as a lesson to show him how wrong he is.

9. Maybe Europeans leaned from Tony Blair's Dilemma

Blair absolutely knew that George Bush lied about Iraq in order to start a war against Iraq. But he told Parliament that the UK would have to join the war anyway and “pay the blood price.” Thus sacrificing their soldiers for the lies of the American politicians ad I suppose oil profiteers.

10. The UK has been providing launch bases during Trump's lunatic adventure

As so often in the past, the UK has been serving as the US's "unsinkable aircraft carrier". If that's not "helping", I don't know what is.

That has not gone down well with most of the UK public, not least because it risks embroiling us in war crimes.

If Trump wants to do away with that basing arrangement, I don't think anyone in the UK will stand in his way.

Ostensibly, the support is supposed to be for "defensive strikes", but once the planes take off, the UK has no control over their mission, nor any reprisals that may follow in coming years. Starmer is toeing a fine line between what is offensive and what is defensive as things stand.

If Trump imagines this is some betrayal of NATO solidarity, he's forgetting that NATO is a defence pact, not a private army to boost him in whatever crazy schemes he may have.

If he wants allies, he's going to have to court them. Or invade them, I guess.

Meanwhile, European countries have been having to shoulder the bulk of the burden of supporting Ukraine through a war on their doorsteps, with Trump constantly meddling counterproductively and banging on about Ukraine having to cede territory, which nobody else on the allied side is envisioning nor thinks is a good idea, and making big bucks out of flogging a trickle of arms to the European partners to supply to Ukraine.

Thanks a bunch for nothing.

11. Had djt conferred with the NATO allies, and they had agreed with attacking

Iran, they would be obliged to help. From what I've read, he decided unilaterally to invade a sovereign nation.

By contrast, on 9-11, the US was invaded and NATO promptly supported us.
