Trump has been begging for other countries – including the UK – to send ships to help in the Middle East. Today he has revealed they all said no
Donald Trump unleashed a furious rant at America’s allies for refusing to help bail him out of his war in Iran.
On Saturday he posted on Truth Social, begging countries – including the UK – to send ships to the Middle East to help protect oil tankers under threat from Iranian bombing and mines while sailing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Since then, no country has responded to his plea.
And in a further post today, Trump admitted not one of America’s Nato allies has agreed to take part in the conflict.
With a furious flourish, Trump wrote: “In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the most powerful country anywhere in the world, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE.”
He wrote: “The United States has been informed by most of our NATO “Allies” that they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation against the Terrorist Regime of Iran, in the Middle East, this, despite the fact that almost every Country strongly agreed with what we are doing, and that Iran cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be allowed to have a Nuclear Weapon. I am not surprised by their action, however, because I always considered NATO, where we spend Hundreds of Billions of Dollars per year protecting these same Countries, to be a one way street — We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need.
“Fortunately, we have decimated Iran’s Military – Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti-Aircraft and Radar is gone and perhaps, most importantly, their Leaders, at virtually every level, are gone, never to threaten us, our Middle Eastern Allies, or the World, again!
“Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer “need,” or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance – WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
