Trump has berated and threatened America’s NATO allies. Now he wants these same countries to help unblock the Strait of Hormuz — and their response has not exactly been enthusiastic.
“This is not our war, we have not started it,” German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told reporters Monday.
Iran effectively closed the trade route in response to the American-Israeli assault launched last month. This sent global oil prices surging and threatened an international economic shock, something economists had warned about before the war began.
“It’s a bit rich — after you’ve been threatening Denmark and insulting the memory of around 1,000 NATO troops who fought in Afghanistan — to say, ‘Oh, you all have to come and help us now,” said Toomas Ilves, former Estonian president. “If countries send troops and something happens to them, is he going to make fun of them again?” he added.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth did not think out this war. They didn’t prepare for the consequences.
With the war’s economic and geopolitical ramifications unfurling rapidly, Trump is cajoling allies — the same allies he’s been belittling, and threatened to go to war with over Greenland just a few months ago.
Now Trump can’t control the chaos he started and needs them to help clean up his mess.
In the modern world, allies are of extreme importance. Any other president would already know that or at least learn from this incident.
Trump will not.

But isn’t Trump supposed to be better then them? Why are you trying to make comparisons? How about instead of whataboutisms, understand that your president is a fucking monster.

Trump is pushing a new “Strait of Hormuz coalition” as Iran’s blockade sends oil prices soaring ⛽️🌍 Talks include China, Japan, UK and more—plus a risky plan to seize Iran’s Kharg Island.

At least 200 American troops wounded in Iran war, US military says

BELLUM RENOVATIO II

Occidente le dice basta ya a Estados Unidos. Los países de la OTAN no comprometerán sus buques para apoyar a la Armada estadounidense en la reapertura del estrecho de Ormuz. En cambio, envían su propio mensaje a Teherán a través de Emmanuel Macron: “Esta no es nuestra guerra, queremos un nuevo esquema de seguridad regional que excluya a Estados Unidos. Hablemos y dejen que nuestros petroleros crucen el estrecho”.

Entretanto, Estados Unidos sigue sin  comprender cuán mal van las cosas. Se pueden lograr objetivos de maneras más económicas, eficientes y asimétricas. Es factible contraatacar a un adversario más avanzado. Irán sabe cómo y lo demuestra todos los días. Los europeos finalmente lo han reconocido viendo  el fracaso de las operaciones navales contra los yemeníes. El capitalismo se ha saboteado mediante su complejidad logística y costos exorbitantes que aniquilan toda ventaja tecnológica.

Aún hay más que contar sobre la derrota en progreso. Los AWACs emiraties fueron destruidos en tierra. Tel Aviv en ruinas representa un cambio radical en doctrina y objetivos de guerra. Para el capitalismo la seguridad  importa. Ya no hay lugar seguro frente a la ira iraní. El capitalismo implica horror. El terror afecta a todos, incluida la clase dominante. Ocultarse no garantiza invulnerabilidad. Pregúntenle a Netanyahu; quizás sea mejor preguntarle si sigue vivo. Si está muerto, los israelíes tendrán al menos una certeza: deberían empezar a considerar la opción de marcharse de Palestina.

La distancia tampoco garantiza la seguridad. El terror podría estar más cerca. En California, el FBI emite una alerta por un posible ataque con drones desde el mar. En Los Ángeles, se siente como si fuera ayer nomás; 1942 está en el aire. En Michigan, un ciudadano estadounidense de origen libanés ataca una sinagoga. Su hermano era un comandante de Hezbolá muerto en un bombardeo israelí. Quizás los marines que se preparan para zarpar hacia el Golfo Pérsico sean más necesarios en casa. No habrá tropas en territorio iraní. Irán ha negado el control efectivo del espacio aéreo y marítimo necesario para una operación terrestre.

Terminemos con una referencia al cine clásico: «El Dormilón» de Woody Allen. Netanyahu se ha convertido en el líder fantasma de la película. Da igual si está vivo o muerto, sigue presente por la censura. ¿Quién será el Arias Navarro de Israel? «Israelíes, Netanyahu está muerto». Imaginen al ministro de Defensa, Katz, diciendo eso.   

EXILE

The Necessary Defense of American Sovereignty

The time has come for a blunt and uncompromising truth; if you actively work to interrupt, undermine, or overthrow the sovereignty of the United States and the democratic republic that sustains it, you forfeit your place here regardless of whether you were born on American soil, whether your ancestors arrived in the 1700s, or how many generations your family has called this country home. This is not rhetoric. This is the only coherent response left when people declare, openly and repeatedly, that they reject the very foundation of our nation.

Muslims tell us plainly that Sharia law governs their lives, and their ultimate goal is to ensure it governs America as well. Yet you treat this declaration as just another opinion to be debated rather than the existential rejection of our republic that it is. ENOUGH. The Constitution is not a suicide pact. It was written by and for a people who chose to live under its umbrella. When newcomers or citizens explicitly reject that umbrella and seek to replace it with a theocratic legal system incompatible with individual liberty, equal rights, and democratic consent, the document does not require us to accommodate our own dissolution.

We have rules. We have a culture. We have values forged over centuries; individual rights, separation of religion and state, equality under law, and the supremacy of the Constitution. It is not an empty vessel into which any ideology may pour itself and rewrite the rules at will. We are not a blank page waiting for someone else’s pen.

The evidence is now overwhelming that significant elements within certain immigrant communities, particularly those arriving from Muslim-majority nations committed to Sharia law, have no intention of assimilating into this culture. They do not come to join the American story; they come to supplant it. Muslims exploit our openness while rejecting Americas premise. Polls, court cases, public statements, and the formation of parallel societies across Europe and increasingly here confirm the pattern; demands for Sharia laws, refusal to accept secular authority, grooming scandals, honor-based violence, and open advocacy for replacing Western law with Islamic governance. This is not “diversity.” It is conquest by migration.

Liberals have responded with the same tired script: any defense of our borders, our culture, or our laws is branded racist, xenophobic, or Islamophobic. Every grievance must be indulged. Every demand negotiated. Our republic itself is treated as negotiable. It is not. American sovereignty, our constitutional republic, and the cultural soil that sustains both are non-negotiable. If you cannot live under that umbrella, the honest and humane solution is simple; go elsewhere.

This is not unprecedented. Our own Founding-era forebears had no qualms about sending Englishmen, men of their own blood and language back across the Atlantic when those men refused to accept the new American order. They understood that loyalty to the republic must supersede tribal or ancestral claims. We have forgotten that clarity at our peril.

The left will cry racism, Islamophobia, cruelty. We no longer care. Words have lost their power when they are deployed solely to disarm legitimate self-defense. An existential threat to our democracy, our culture, and the safety of our citizens is not a debating point; it is a security emergency. And the remedy for those who declare themselves enemies of the republic, whether native-born ideologues or imported theocrats is the same remedy our ancestors used without apology

EXILE!

We did not build this nation so that others could dismantle it from within. We will not watch our liberty erased under the banner of tolerance. Respect our laws, our Constitution, and our culture or leave. The republic of the United States of America will be defended. Those who choose subversion over assimilation have forfeited the right to remain. It is time we acted on that reality.

Trump Airs a House Republican’s Terminal Diagnosis, Claiming to Have Reversed It

The president leaned on House Speaker Mike Johnson to name a Florida Republican whose grave prognosis was imperiling the party’s already slim voting margin. Both said his prospects had improved.
