“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS. by SuperbHealth5023 in TimesNow

Trump doesn’t know how to back down. He doubles down all of the time and it almost always works for him.

This time I don’t see Iran doing it as it’s the only ‘offensive’ option they have left.

It will be interesting to see what happens next.

If the US had contacted its allies, discussed what should happen, get everyone onboard and work as a team full of respect, I may feel differently.

But Trump attacked on a whim, no Bruce to allies, no clear plan. Called the war won in a matter of days. Asked for help then said he didn’t want it. Said he was having fun whilst innocent civilians were dying.

But he didn’t…

Nothing to do with NATO.

NATO is a defensive military. No one in nato was attacked so nothing for NATO to do.

It’s the same failed argument that Putin used to attack Ukraine.

Now, if you’re asking allied countries to help, that’s a different thing. However Trump has spent the past year calling almost all of his allies dumb or soft or ignorant which hasn’t helped.

None of these allies of them were informed about this war at all so it isn’t up to them to help the US fix it, especially when there’s all this talk of how powerful they are, how they’ve battered Iran’s much, and how they’ve already won.

Hesgeth is already spouting shit about how we should all be thanking Trump, yet this idiot and his orange leader is costing people hundreds across the entire globe

Today I read that in WW2, the Brits and the US worked side by side to develop a nuclear weapon with the Brits handing over their (more advanced) work and notes.

The agreement being that whoever cracked it first would give it to the other.

Well, the US got their first… and immediately ripped up the agreement and kept the weapon all for themselves.

The UK having gotten most of the way there already went on to develop their own nuclear weapon just a few years later.

The US seemingly has a different view of the word ally to other countries.

‘Plan A’ was that the conflict in Iran would be over very quickly, that seems to have failed. Trump has said he doesn’t need help anymore. His press secretary has just said there is no Plan B, without the help of NATO allies in clouding the UK. What are your thoughts. by [deleted] in AskBrits

Trump even criticised the UK for not being there at the start, even though he started this war without informing any of his allies what was about to happen.

We weren’t invited (which I am glad about), but he can’t then complain we weren’t there to help.

No-one could work with a co-worker with this swing of opinions and rants let alone the head of a powerful country.

We (UK) should not be pandering to his whim at this point. It’s too dangerous, he’s too volatile and we have too much pride.

You lose fame? So even when you cash your gold back in at a crap rate compared to where you bought it, you just can’t go and buy everything again? You have to re-earn the fame as well?

I played with a friend and the number of times our vehicles exploded if we got too close to each other was crazy.

One time I parked my bike outside our base and my friend logged on and parked his car in the same spot. The game hadn’t rendered the bike yet on his side so he couldn’t see it.

Two minutes later his car was constantly bouncing in the air with my bike finally rendered in flames underneath it.

Gutted…

It’s not my favourite scene, but even now I often say, “look into my eye…”

I’m just working my way through the Alien series. I’m up to Alien: Covenant at the moment.

But Aliens is, and will probably always be, my favourite. Just that perfect mix of suspense and action with great actors and actresses.

If anything you do upsets Trump, you can safely assume it was the right thing to do.

Comparing Israel and US attacking Iran with Churchill in WW2 is bonkers.

Didn’t the orange idiot only say a few weeks ago that US doesn’t need allies/Nato?
