A European leader should step before the press right now and say, in Trump’s style: “Trump came to me and begged —because he is a very weak president— ‘Please, Mr. President/Chancellor/Prime Minister (...), please give me your military'. He begged ON HIS KNEES because he was so desperate!"

The most expensive army in the world and you can't even keep small area of water safe?
You'd start to think that the money they spend doesn't actually bring strength...
Maybe someone's inflating prices and wasting money for not much return for said money.
Maybe these commanders and politicians are pieces of shit?

So after only consulting Israel and then setting the world on fire, he now try to shame us for not wanting to stomp on his flaming turd?

If I was speaking for Germany I would ask DJT to add four and five to get the answer.

Trump had no plans, secret or open. That requires learning and understanding. Trump just does what he wants based on what he "knows" because he knows more about everything than anybody else in history

"It can only good happen" is an extra dialogue line in 'Zero Wing' remastered version.

Anyone who has worked on a group project knows why to not get involved. They know it's a tar baby. Anyone dumb enough to lift a finger for Lord Dampnut would be immediately implicated and blamed or all that comes next.

trump went on his knees to Europe?? Bubba is gonna be jealous...
vizeroy42
Nah, he demanded help from us... we said no. He should be glad to still be allowed to use the military bases in Europe for his war.

europe, and everyone else, has comprehensively said 'fuck off!'

The one factor that weighs the largest in all human interactions where one party is trying to be persuaded without threats, no matter how fucking big or little the consequences are, is “Do I like this person? Have they been nice/ respectful to me?” Everyone fucking hates Trump. He lacks even the most basic early schoolyard social skills.

When the Stupid King surrounds himself with stupid people in high cabinet roles he will always make stupid decisions.
ThatGuyFromJustSouthOfTheMiddleOfNowhere
He knew they'd block the strait. He knew they strike neighbors. The things everyone else took into consideration to not attack, he ignored.
Zange0
ngl, I think he thought they would just crumble. *Clearly* this overwhelming first strike will be enough for them to capitulate, no one can win against him.
not like we have literally hundreds of years of examples of different countries (the US included) fucking around and finding out when it comes to the middle east.

He is now assembling A-10 and Apache in the Gulf to hunt down the Iranian Speedboats. 2 Weeks in the Operation he starts to get heavy hitters in. TBF for the Europeans, they tested their Ships against Ukrainian Seadrones at the coast of Portugal. After that they were pretty sure that they didn't want to help Trump with the mess he did.

“Perhaps the weakest president we’ve ever seen”
ElvenLibrarian2
he even begged to Iran but they refuse the ceasefire because they know Americans are backstabbing traitors
FaithAlone
What I find especially embarrassing is how baby brained even that plan is. It’s like a 3rd grader was asked how get the strait opened and they remembered there are other counties out there and maybe they can help because that’s what friends do. We have a literal idiot with no idea what he is doing ending the world.
CabooseDM
If only there were nations in the region with a trained Navy, equipped and experienced at operating in the Straits and dealing with Irans shit
zwielichtengelchen
This thing is a tactical nightmare: you'd need to find and disarm every single mine and intercept every single missile while Iran only needs to hit something every once in a while.
MayIRun
The area is so narrow you theoretically even could hit ships with cannons on a technical, don't need no missiles or drones (which are avaiable too of course).
A few hits here and there would be quite enough since the idea of the iranian regime is not to sink those ships but to inflict terror.
Of course i am not a military planer but the idea of securing a passage for hundreds of ships each day and night in such a vulnerable area seems nearly impossible, especially with no "boots on the ground".
Zange0
Fuck now I want to see like a classic Age of Sail ship cannon on a technical.
Cranbananarama
Honestly surprised he hasn't said to nuke it and make it bigger.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
"trump" and "plan" are words that do not ever go together in thee same context.
Foire
Perhaps we could add in the word "didn't" between them?
It'd seem to give at least a bit of contextually relevant support.

Except if you add “concept”.

Politics here are still largely under the impression they need to please trump to prevent worse. But he needs to be utterly humiliated...

The upcoming oil shock will hit Europeans not as hard as it will hit the US, due to Europe largely switching to renewables. For instance in 2025 Germany which is not considered a sunny country, twice managed to fulfill energy demands by solar power alone. Fossil fuels are now only a fallback.
Selfinflictedwounds
This will also be the third time the US auto industry has to be bailed out..
ANYTIME a gas crisis hits they crash because of little to no investment in fuel efficient cars, or EV's..
And trump tried killing all ev development besides Tesla....oppsies
Tragopan
No. It barely affects the US at all and the US is an oil exporter (which shows how corrupt the unregulated energy companies are). US attempts at protecting the straight have been for the benefit of India, Japan, South Korea and Europe in that order. 14%, 12%, 10% and 5% of the trade through the strait, respectively, goes to those countries. Only 3% goes to the US and that is only to resell, and only when the market is opportune. China is affected most at 40% which accounts for the propaganda.
VegaJuniper
The US is an oil exporter, Trump has the power to block oil exports which would isolate the American oil market from the global market, at the cost of immense damage to America's allies and trading partners.
The ones who suffer most are the Asian countries, they have limited oil production and get most of theirs from the Middle-East. Japan especially has a capable navy and an interest in keeping the strait open. They'd be a natural ally to the US, one wonders why Trump antagonizes them.
mbq7
Solar and wind can't power the grid on their own, the endgame of Greens agenda always was to use (Russian) gas as a base. Also there are cars + transport, chemical industry (fertilisers + plastic), heating & cooking in many homes. Europe will be hit hard.
ZackWester
True but there is a diffrence between having 90% of ones energy and transport consumption been gas/oil. VS maybe 10% where Russia can´t really do a Do X or I pull the plug becuaes all that happen is a tiny price increase and then Russia collapses whit zero income.
Mortbise
My ass. Gas went up by roughly .5€ already, up to ~2.1€ now.
Fuck that asshole with a rusty chainsaw, it's not enough he's been shitting on the US for years, he's taking massive dumps on the rest of the world too with his dementia-fueled fuckery
Timesarrows
in US, i don't like seeing the wind turbines but if it's marketed as reducing the pollution driving wildlife to extinction, reducing pollution casing cancer, creating National Security since most all energy needs r met from local facilities... then i can accept wind turbines. solar direct to power without use of battery storage should be more widespread, like a solar calculator. Photo-voltaic effect to convert (visible) light into electric current.
iWouldWhack500moles
Still plenty of fuel-reliant cars, though, so that is gonna hit regular people very palpably.
ZackWester
Yep the thing is that in the US 99% of the population would collapse whit out gas or just a 20% less gas cover aka one out of every 5 car will not get gas for there car. Europe would suck but whit public transport and all that 1 out of every 5 car we will be fine. just move the gas from 1 car into the bus and now we can deal whit t.
Che07
Did say it would not hit them at all. To me, it seems he's done destroying USA, now he's going for the rest of the world.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
He's been fucking up other parts of the world for over a year now. Canada has been reeling from the tariffs. This is just more on the pile of shit stuff he's already done to the rest of the world.
