    Wasn’t it already facing a bad future when he threatened Greenland and had a red carpet for Putin?

    What’s he going to do? Attack every Nato country? Mind you, he would if he could.

    this guy double talks and back tracks so much i wouldnt beleive a word he is saying EVER.

  4. Spend years calling NATO “obsolete,” freeloaders, threatening to leave the alliance, slapping tariffs on allies, threatening to annex allies and insulting their leaders…

    Then start a war with Iran and go:
    “If you don’t help us, NATO has a very bad future.”

    That’s not diplomacy. That’s the geopolitical version of lighting your own house on fire and yelling at the neighbors for not bringing buckets.

    Donald has literally and figuratively shit his pants and wants other NATO countries to help clean it up.

    Demented old pedophile.

    Why the fuck would NATO assist with a war of aggression *one of its member states started without provocation*, particularly when said member state *has actively threatened the other member states with annexation and economic warfare*?

    Don’t kick the fucking hornet’s nest if you aren’t prepared to get stung, dumbass.

  7. NATO has an obligation to support the USA if its sovereign territory is attacked first.

    In this case the USA (and Israel) was the aggressor. GFYS.

    The USA is panicking because Iran has Russia and China supporting it and it is starting to sell oil through the strait exclusively in Chinese yuan, which threatens the petro-dollar (and consequentially the US government’s debt servicing). America is in for a depression-level economic crash if countries start trading oil in yuan instead of dollars.

    The USA fucked around and now it is finding out.

    Why should they help? It’s not their war. The U.S. treats its allies terribly, it threatens them, puts tariffs on them, and even talks about taking their land. Just a day or two ago they literally took South Korea’s defensive THAAD systems to ship them to the Middle East, leaving them defenseless.

    The U.S. and Israel started this, so they should fix it themselves.

  9. A help he by the way absolutely doesn’t need because he’s totally winning, but that he still asks for, but that he doesn’t need, but they must help, but it’s not required and too late, but still please come.

    Three important points regarding this very predictable threat from Trump to American allies

    1. This is just blackmail. NATO is a defensive treaty. It’s not meant to be invoked by the aggressor in a conflict. It has no relevance here.

    2. Trump claims that the Strait is now ‘safe’ but then why won’t he deploy the US Navy, which is bigger than all the allies combined? What he won’t say is that it’s because he’s afraid of casualties and wants the allies to take on the dangers. Can’t have photos of American sialors sent home in body bags and American warships being sunk by Iranian missiles.

    3. The allies are getting nothing in return for this. They have no say over this war and area already suffering the economic consequences. At the very least Trump has to involve them his war plans and also provide a solid exit strategy for a quick end to this war.

  11. “The problem with NATO: it’s obsolete.”
    – Trump, 2016 – and many times since.

    The orange muppet knows he has messed up attacking Iran, let him and the US rot in the quagmire they have created.

  13. Disastrous_Ant5657 on

    Well maybe he shouldn’t have been threatening all of our allies for the past year.

  14. Brilliant_Version344 on

    He didn’t even consult with nato allies and he disrespected their dead in Afghanistan now he wants their help ?? 😂

  15. Why doesn’t he get his ridiculous board of peace members to send some ships? Instead of asking allies he’s been treating like shit.

  16. You_are_the_Castle on

    This is ridiculous. Nobody from NATO should be coerced and dragged into Trump’s illegal war.

    He’s taken every opportunity to destroy US relations with other NATO members. He’s placed high tariffs, threatened to take land, and lobbed various childish slurs at European leaders.  He just stated last week that he doesn’t need help. In typical loser fashion, he knows he’s fucked so he’s doing what he only knows, which is to make threats.   

  18. What a fucking joke. He’s already burned those bridges. He demanded Europe take over leadership and remilitarize. All while slamming them with tariffs and threats of war. And then he went on to gargle Putins nuts for the Trump’teenth time. NATO has its own issues, not another middle east fiasco to save us from.

    What a pathetic, pants shitting, child raping, loser.

  19. Canada here: get bent. You threatened to annex 2 NATO countries. You screamed that you did not need anyone’s help.

  20. He needs to be removed from office. The security risk to the USA and its (quickly dwindling list of) allies is irreparable. It wasn’t but 2 days ago that he claimed the war was over and a victory and told the British we don’t need help, now here he is threatening NATO again. I don’t know how much more proof is needed to show he’s compromised by Russia. Never forget the dozen soldiers and counting who died in this 100% preventable and avoidable war. May history not be kind to this fucking loser

    Here is a response from Mark Carney that can be used by each NATO country. Just need to insert their own name.

    “Canada was not consulted, did not participate, and has no plans to participate in the offensive actions against Iran that are being undertaken by the U.S. and Israel.”
