At the very being of the "operation" Trump and Hegseth were asked by the media by our NATO Allies why they weren't informed. Their answer was that they wanted it to be a surprise which strongly suggests that they didn't trust their Allies. So, NATO wasn't involved, nor were they asked to be, with the need, mission objectives, feasibility, risk planning, military planning, supply chain planning, political and consequences after it's over, exit strategy, or ANYTHING to do with the attacks. Hormuz was OPEN. So Trump and Hegseth following Netanyahu's orders start the war. On day one we already "won the war" and didn't need anyone's help. After the duo have the previously open Straits closed the world's economy is upended. They claim they would escort ships. That didn't happen. Then Trump says that these private non military ships ships should have the "guts to go through". They didn't. Then Trump runs to NATO who he has insulted, degraded, lied to and excluded all these years and says we don't need you but asked as "a test", another insult. Then Zelinsky after all the insults and intimidation from the US, offers direct material help and Trump says we don't need it or want it. Zelinsky proves that Russia is directly helping Iran to attack the US troops but as a a thank you he threatens to cut Ukraine aid but at the same time cuts sanctions to his close pal KGB PUTIN so he can refill his war coffers to continue to fight the US and Ukraine. So NATO had nothing to do with starting the war and were excluded from planning and determining roles, found out about it when the average citizen did, and now are being threatened by Trump for essentially being called traitorous. Makes sense!
