Trump Started this Illegal War, Alienated Our Allies, and Now He's Mad No One Will Help [View all]
Mike Nellis
This morning I woke up to the news that NATO and our European allies are refusing to get entangled in Donald Trump’s reckless war by providing military assistance in the Strait of Hormuz. NATO exists so that allies defend each other when attacked. But NATO isn’t designed to support a unilateral war launched in the middle of the night on Truth Social.
And the reaction from Trump, MAGA influencers, and the same corrupt, war-mongering Republican politicians who spent years attacking our allies? They’re whining that Europe won’t help.
And honestly, I had to laugh.
Because it raises a pretty obvious question: What the hell did they expect?
