...you would normally want to have those coalitions built by the time you launch the attack.

Trump the Great and Powerful doesn't do "coalition building". He's a "JC". He does diktat. As you said, now he is ordering out erstwhile allied to fight his war for him, or he'll hurt NATO.

Trump threatens NATO allies over Strait of Hormuz help

On Saturday, Trump had called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom and others to send warships to the key shipping route, which Iran has been blocking since the war and where about a fifth of the world's oil supplies typically pass through.

None of the countries have publicly committed to Trump's request — with some rejecting it outright — after the president upped the ante in an interview with the Financial Times late Sunday, saying their failure to do so would "be very bad for the future of NATO."

And that thing about knowing the war is over "in his bones"? Of course he doesn't know what the war will be over, until "Bibi" tells him it is.
