"...and you do not give a shit about the world outside the US.."

That's what Dave has been telling you for like 30 pages.

You have no idea how to open the Hormuz like your government...and you do not give a shit about the world outside the US..

Oil tankers came and went just fine through the straights until Trump started bombing Iran..

The fuel shortage will get worse..until the 20% missing is restored..

What about the nukes, missiles and proxies eh?

I really think you are just banging your head against a brick wall, its pointless to write anti-Trump posts here...as long as Trump says everything that happens is moving along according to his magnificent 4D-chess plan the Maga-crew is going to think the same regardless what is actually happening

I’m not MAGA but good try.

I’m not MAGA but good try.

It was not directed at you specifically, it was more ment as a suggestion for Pondoro that it really is rather pointless to post here trying to convince those that allready made up their minds, thats why I quoted his post rather then yours.

It seems that we are seeing the beginning of the end of Nato...wonder how long it will take until the US formally leaves?

‘Not a very good arrangement’: Rubio warns US will rethink NATO after Iran war

Donald Trump’s top diplomat complains that European allies are not helping America out in the Middle East.

Even Rubio seems to think that Nato does not do anything for the US unless the other members are acting more like vassals to their liege lord and simply comply with every demand...

The same source also seems to suggest that the legislation set in place by congress after Trumps first term are not in any way Trump proof.

Personally I think that the idea of Natos one for all, all for one-deterrent is allready broken by all statements of Trump that he will not assist countries not paying their bill or not joining in the Iran war or not letting the US annex Greenland etc...taken together it really presents a strong case for potential advesaries to make the conclusion that the US will not honor the treaty if push comes to shove. So perhaps it would be for the best if he simply withdraw the US from the alliance like he seems to want to do and just leave the other allies to fend for themselves without creating this strategic ambiguity of wether the US would honor the alliance or not...
