President Donald Trump, who has been pressing allies to help safeguard the critical waterway, fumed on Tuesday that the U.S. is not getting support “despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot” be allowed to secure a nuclear weapon.

    Sorry guys, Ima gonna have to cite some MAGA scripture on this one:

    https://www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/jd-vance-blames-europeans-for-not

    “JD Vance sides with France over Bush on the Iraq War: ‘If the Europeans had been a little more independent, and a little more willing to stand up, then maybe we could have saved the entire world from the strategic disaster that was the American-led invasion of Iraq,’”

    …

    So those who do help, you shit on and threaten, like Denmark and the UK. Those who don’t, you freedom-fry them…then you keep hearing the pearls of wisdom above…looks like the only way to get some respect from trump and his toadies is to be a dictatorship and help russia/Iran. (And those who do offer actual help, like Ukraine, you reject)

      Vance is part of the weird anti-war subset of MAGA. It’s why he’s been conspicuously quiet on the Iran thing.

      It’d so cute when the conservatives pretend that they are for peace and not really for wars of choice and so on. It’s weird how many liberals were told by conservatives that “freedom isn’t free” and “you need to support the troops” in the run-up and the early days of the Iraq debacle.
