BREAKING: Trump is Now "DEMANDING" Former Allies Help With Operation Epstein Fury In Iran [View all]
This morning on CNN’s State of the Union, UN Ambassador Mike Waltz delivered one of the more delusional sentences uttered by a Trump official in recent memory — which, given the competition, is genuinely impressive.
“President Trump is calling upon the world, saying the entire world is affected. Iran can’t hold your economies hostage, and we certainly welcome, encourage and even demand their participation to help their own economies.”
The same administration that spent the last year calling Europe pathetic, threatening to annex Canada, tariffing allies into recession, pulling out of every multilateral agreement it could find, publicly humiliating NATO partners, and treating the rules-based international order like a suggestion box — is now demanding those same countries help escort ships through a strait that’s only closed because Trump and Netanyahu started a war nobody asked for.
This is the geopolitical equivalent of burning your neighbour’s fence down and then demanding they help you with the insurance claim.
My Dad, Jimmy Blundell, who once advised me to “never beat the horses you need to help you win the race,” comes to mind.
