Now Trump wants help from allies, allies fed up with Trump say "no"

[SweetTea]

Is that what Fox News is telling you?

LMFAO!!!!

Let me guess. Your news is telling you that Iran is winning. Now THAT is funny.

You guys are beyond saving.

 

[jknowgood]

Yeah, you're right. I never saw better begging for naval assets from Biden or Obama.

They were such phonies, they didn't know how to show how desperate they were.

Neither one of them liberated a country, but you know that. Obama was too busy dividing this country.

Iran waving the white flag.

Thread 'Any country except for US and Israel can pass through Strait of Hormuz, Iranian Foreign Minister says'

Mar 14, 2026

Sounds like a white flag to me.

How many Israeli ships use the strait? I would say, none.

How many U.S. flagged commercial ships use the strait?

Duh!

Iran said Saturday that all countries besides the US and Israel may pass through the Strait of Hormuz, in a desperate attempt at coalition busting less than a day after the US bombed military targets on its oil-critical Kharg Island.


"As a matter of fact, the Strait of Hormuz is open," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.


"It is only closed to the tankers and ships belong[ing] to our enemies, to those who are...​

Iran on Saturday threatened to attack the infrastructure of its neighbor, the United Arab Emirates, urging people to evacuate three major ports that Tehran claims are now “legitimate targets” because they were used by the U.S. to attack Iran.

Mizan, Iran’s official judiciary news agency, claimed without providing evidence that U.S. forces are located in the civilian ports of Jebel Ali, Khalifa and Fujairah in the UAE. The news agency urged residents in and around those ports to immediately evacuate, saying the facilities “may be targeted in the coming hours.”

Iran threatens to retaliate against neighbors; Trump urges countries to assist in securing Strait of Hormuz

President Trump said in a Truth Social post that he directed U.S. Central Command to execute a bombing raid that "obliterated" military targets on Kharg Island.

If that is what waving the white flag looks like they need some practice.

Better than looking at your watch regretting that you're there.

Biden went to all the dignified transfer ceremonies at Dover.
Trump skipped the one's on March 9th, onward.

Trump didn't even bother to see the dignified transfer for Army Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, 26,

Instead of going to the transfer ceremony
Trump was at his golf course.

I have no idea who’s winning, if that is even possible. No one wins in war.

I do know whatever the government controlled corporate media tells you is almost always wrong and propaganda. You believe them. I don’t.

Irans nuclear threat was obliterated last year. Their military has been destroyed and the US has even found time to nuke girls schools.

What does Iran have left?

Apparently a lot. What do you think they have left?

 

[jknowgood]

Apparently a lot. What do you think they have left?

Nothing, thanks to Trump.

See? You’ve accepted war propaganda fed you by the criminals in the state.

If Iran says the Straight is open, what is the problem?

Black POTUS tend to do that in the US.

Funny that.

Are you denying Chump has done better begging for naval assets from allies than Obama or Biden?

Seems an uncontroversial assertion to me.

The person saying death to America and close to getting nukes is dead. You hate that, or Trump more?

Yes, when they hate America. Why want to transform something you supposedly love?

 

[22lcidw]

Instant neo-con, just add Chump.

I guess it is on who is doing the judging. I did not ask for this incursion. I am not also letting it go to waste. And I question the military/industrial complex for not having some defensive weapons particularly against Iran's cheaper weapons and enough of some weapon's systems.

 

[Mac-7]

Hopefully our former friends in Europe will take pity on us and come to our rescue in the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump urges US allies to send warships to Strait of Hormuz

Since we're strictly transactional now, I guess we'll have to pay them for their mercy.

Other than a few countries like Russia and china most nations have a vested interest in removing the muslim dictatorship in iran

The entire world benefits from a neutered Iran. Why not asking them to help?

Damn that 13th amendment.

Damn that 13th amendment.

What does that have to do with a president that hates America?
