Trump lashes out at UK and France, telling allies ‘the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore’​

President Donald Trump has warned the U.K. and France that the “U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore,” as he vented his frustration over the close allies’ refusal to join military action against Iran.

Posting on Truth Social, Trump said “the Country of France wouldn’t let planes headed to Israel, loaded up with military supplies, fly over French territory.”

“France has been VERY UNHELPFUL with respect to the “Butcher of Iran,” who has been successfully eliminated! The U.S.A. will REMEMBER!!!,” he said in a post Tuesday.

In another post, the president singled out the U.K. for criticism.

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” he commented.

Trump re-upped his disdain for European allies that have refused to take part in the U.S. and Israel's military operation against Iran.

Rebukes of allies, when they are called for, are done through private communications or through correspondences with diplomats after careful consideration. Those were the old days. Now they are done by way of unhinged rants on social media for all the world to see. Including our enemies.

I think the old way is better.

Trump represents a tiny sliver of America today. Everyone knows that including our allies and enemies. Our Allies have decided to ignore him as he will be out of power soon. Now that tariffs are illegal they arent even taking his calls.

What is happening is a reflection of the enormously consequential error in judgement made by millions of our fellow Americans who voted for trump. The lasting damage it has caused will be very difficult to repair. Those efforts will likely be hampered by those who remain loyal to trumpery. The most destructive force America has faced in my 69 years.

All of it, and tariffs are another example, could have been done entirely behind closed doors and in an adult, professional, respectful way. We could have easily remained the respected and stable leader of the free world.

I continue to wonder about the psychology/sociology of this ugly period. These people have been driven into such a blind rage that they don't care what is broken, as long as they get to watch it break. How does a person get there?

Sorry, but Blue City progressivism is the most destructive force the country has faced.

As for the rest, BAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

I can't get over the feeling something has been irreparably broken. A nation can't go through what trumpery has wrought and come out of it whole again. At least not for a generation.

Trump is correct they use us to protect them so they can fund their socialism. They need to protect themselves

Why? Why should he listen to phony MiddleStain that don't vote? You are just an impediment to the final fixes.

You've got some ki d of Mittens Romney butt-hurt thing on? So sad you cant get more billions into the Mormon church in Utah? What are you after Mittens jr?

Yeah, that's my guess. This will be a process, at least. I'm not terribly confident that a continued erosion of this alternate universe will be enough by itself.

trump's petulant rant is music to Putin's ears. Anything that weakens NATO, like the US implying it will not come to the aid of a NATO member if it is under attack, makes Vlad smile.

Western Europe is weakening NATO. For decades they shirked their defense budgets.

The only good NATO Countries are the ones at actual risk, like Poland and the Baltics.

Getting rid of socialist governments in Cuba and Venezuela and the Mullahs in Iran hurts Russia.

So what? You want the USA not to sct because another leader may try to gain power? They all do that you screwball. You would be sitting on your thumb forever, trembling like BoardStain cowards.

I disagree. NOBODY is going to have any trust or faith in the USA for generations. There is nothing to prevent another Trump from being elected because your right wing media propaganda machine has brainwashed a large percentage of the American population.

Because of “freedom on speech” lying is so endemic in US media that little of what Americans are told has any basis in reality.

Until Americans do something to stop the wholesale brainwashing of the American people, you nation cannot be trusted.

 

[rightwinger]

Let’s see….

Trump slaps on massive tariffs
Insults our allies
Acts like a global bully
Ignores existing treaties
Doesn’t ask if they think attacking Iran is a good idea

Then has a tantrum when they don’t support him

Those countries supported Biden

 

[berg80]

So what?

That's become the default reaction by The Following to every stupid, impulsive, reckless thing Don does. Competent leaders don't write angry screeds on their phones because the whole Iran misadventure is blowing up in their face.

Hillary was right. He is temperamentally unfit to be prez.

It’s about time the US holds Europe feet to the fire…everything we’ve done for them, and when their support is needed, where are they?
