Nor are the countries of NATO enthused to jump on any kind of boat bound for that monkey circus. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said they were working with allies to craft a “viable” plan to reopen the Strait, but ruled out any kind of NATO mission.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “The question of how Germany might contribute militarily does not arise. We will not do so.” Also telling Trump to fuck off: Japan, Australia, Poland, Spain, Greece, Sweden, Italy, Belgium, Austria …
Winning, not likely! The US and Israel are running out of drone interceptors, the US Navy does not have enough boats to accompany tankers that want to go in or out of the Strait, and sounds like Trump has been begging NATO for minesweepers too. Now the conflict has already become so much of a morass, Trump can’t impulsively decide he’s become bored with losing and have his caddie toss his ball closer to the hole then go home and brag he won.
What a pickle! Trump’s whole life, from his Daddy to his creditors to the Supreme Court, someone has always stepped in to clean up the messes he’s made. But that does not seem to be happening this time. And Trump didn’t even get a wartime boost in his polling. While Americans appear divided on the feckless war, so far, most in polls do now say they feel America is less safe.
So how is he going fix it? Only one thing is for sure: He has no fucking idea!
