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!”

      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

    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?

    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

    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?

    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.
