Aside from Netanyahu and the Saudis (and probably Putin too), Drumpf sought advice from no one about his decision to join Bibi's Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.
He chose not to consult with our European allies, the US Congress, or to tell the American people of his Iran war plans.
He flat out ignored the advice of his military leaders.
And now that Drumpf's horribly ill-advised decision is slow motion imploding on him, he runs to America's NATO allies for help, of course. Yes, that would be the same NATO allies he and his apparatchiks have been insulting, threatening, and treating like shit since his execrable return to office.
How's that strategy of alienating and shitting on your friends and allies turning out DonOld?
Not so great I see:
Link: Trump’s panicked plea goes largely ignored by world leaders: 'No country stepped forward’ - Raw Story
"President Donald Trump issued a plea Saturday to several countries in the hopes that they would “send ships” to a major shipping route off the coast of Iran to help the United States’ war effort against the Middle East nation, a plea that as of Sunday afternoon appeared to go largely ignored.
In response to the U.S.-Israeli joint military siege launched late last month, Iran has vowed to attack any sea vessels aligned with the United States and its allies that attempt to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping route through which 20% of the world’s oil trade flows. As a result, oil prices have skyrocketed, reportedly sparking panic within the Trump administration.
“Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated,” Trump wrote in a social media post on Saturday."
Yeah, sure DonOld - Iran has been so thoroughly "decapitated" that you are begging other countries to come save your ass in the Strait of Hormuz.
The fact that not one country has stepped up and committed to helping Drumpf is essentially America's allies telling the American President to go pound sand.
Their message: 'You fucking broke it DonOld. You fucking fix it.'
Make no mistake - the worst is yet to come for the world's economies, including the United States, if Drumpf can't find anyone to come to his rescue and open the Strait of Hormuz to shipping. Perhaps his good buddy Putin can help him?
Moral of the story: Don't start wars you can't finish on your own accord.
