Trump Says He is No Longer Requesting South Korean or Japanese Assistance to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz

Is it just me or has Trump’s messaging for the Iran War been horrible?:

 U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the United States no longer needs naval assistance from North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies, South Korea, Japan or Australia to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, citing “military success” in ongoing operations against Iran.

Trump made the remarks in a social media post after calling on allies and partners to help reopen the strait that has been effectively closed by the ongoing war between the U.S., Israel and Iran. The crucial waterway carries about one-fifth of the world’s oil supply.

In a press availability later, Trump also said that NATO is “making a foolish mistake,” showing his displeasure of NATO members’ reluctance to accept his request for support in keeping the strait open, such as sending naval ships to escort merchant vessels through the channel.

“Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer ‘need,’ or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!”

Smart play, put this out there to see who are really America’s partners and not just parasites off daddy war bucks. Seems all are just parasites and should be treated as such.
