    That was one labored sentence! I cannot be the only one that parsed it as: “Trump says he’s been rejected by NATO (while) most allies (are) to join mission …”

    Instead, it wants to say: “Trump says he’s been rejected by NATO and most allies (in his desire for them) to join mission …”

    But I thought that the “greatest military in the world” wouldn’t need help for a war that has “already been won”?

    “Guys! GUYS! You really depend on the oil that flows through the Strait so come and help me open it!”

    “But your actions closed it in the first place.”

    “OMG I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU WON’T HELP! :`(”

    Fuck me, this is what international politics and diplomacy have become.

    so the NATO that he trashes all the time, and wants the US to abandon, won’t help him in his entirely unnecessary War that he’s thrown his country into, purely in an attempt to divert attention from his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein… How surprising.

    “Mum. MUM. MUMMMMMMMMM!”
    “WHAT?”
    “Clean me. I’ve did a whoops in my pants.”
    “Again? Oh FFS.”

    two minutes later

    “MUMMMMMMM.”
    WHAT?
    “Clean me. I’ve done another whoopsy. It stinks.”
    “NO, clean up your own mess.”
    “OMG, THIS IS SO UNFAIR. I’M GOING TO HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE TO TELL THE WORLD HOW YOU WON’T CLEAN UP MY SHIT!”

    I think NATO should send some help. I was thinking of a container loaded with fire extinguishers, sleeping bags and a large stack of “NO SMOKING” stickers. You know, the things they forgot to add to their state-of-the-art carriers?

    NATO is a defensive alliance, not to be invoked when you get bribed by the zionists to start a war you cant finish. Our NATO allies owe us nothing in this situation but lawsuits for US/Israeli terrorism and destroying the oil markets.

    Reads like a text chat between an incel and a woman on the internet.


    Trump: You are stupid. You are ugly and fat. I’m so much better than you ever will be and also fuck all our agreements. Null and void. And you owe me $13.47 for that coffee I paid for.

    Them: stares confused . Then watches their economies be negatively impacted by trump.

    Trump: hey we are buddies right? Come help me bomb civilians.

    Them: no thanks.

    Trump: you are a stupid fat ugly bitch and I don’t need you anyway.

    Trump (next day): how’s it going? . So when are you deploying your troops to help out at the straight?

    Them: blocks trump

    Literally no official channel from the US has asked NATO. (Rage tweets are not official) The US was not attacked so it can’t invoke article 5. No one from NATO needs to help this American war adventurism.

      Further to that, they all recognize the folly of the whole thing and don’t want to get mired in the disaster that Trump has triggered.

        Oh I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I mean I doubt NATO will get involved, but some individual countries might – there are a lot of reich-wing governments over on this side of the pond.

    The funny thing is that, with a sensible foreign and alliance policy, many of these countries would probably have actually helped with US Imperialism, like they did in the past. Take Iraq, for example. But if you treat all your allies like shit and as submissive military service, the governments of those countries simply have no choice but to reject, if they don’t want to be voted out. I’m sure, for instance, that my country’s ruling party, the CDU in Germany, was really keen on it.
