@eunews
Who would have thought that putting tariffs on allies and talking about invading them would result in America having no one to help in their time of need.

@Pinchy63 @chris it's Sesame Street muppet Elmo giving ann open armed shrug, suggesting oh well, whatever in response

@BsCreativeLife @chris
Thanks now I see it. Sun spots maybe?

@Pinchy63 @chris Media can be a bit slower to traverse servers. When this happens you can sometimes help it along by interacting with the post (for example, click the "favorite" button, then click it again to undo it — though this potentially generates a notification for them if they're on at that time.) Alternately you can click the three dots and choose view original to see it on their server and it should load immediately there.

Thank you for that! Much appreciated!

@eunews So, let me get this straight. The rest of the world *isn't* on board with Trump's war crime illegal violent attack against another country?

Well, as great of a strategist as he assures us that he is, I'm *sure* he must have planned around this definitely. I mean, he wouldn't make a warcrime illegal attack against other countries without being sure-

Yeah no, I can't even joke about that. The man's a bluthering idiot and IMO rather than rejections they should be issuing sactions.

Isn't UK sending Minesweeper drones? Though that's not what Trump wants.

Trump's plea is a stupid idea.

[lockedintospace@mastodon.social]

@ChopChop65 Indeed. My country's Constitution (Italy) clearly rejects war as a way to solve global problems. Italian politicians announced it as well, so Trump can't rely on us for sure. We won't participate in genocides, whether he likes it or not.

@Pinchy63 @eunews add that they unilaterally decided to attack Iran, and create an economic and geopolitical mess without any prior consultation.

He who starts a war should be able to handle it "Alone" or leave it at the beginning!

@eunews this is, send your ships so your ships get destroyed and your people killed as if americans are hurt in my war....

[maccruiskeen@social.linux.pizza]

@Pinchy63 @eunews ANd he's left to begging for help because even the US Navy commanders are telling him no, escorts for tankers not a good idea.

[noplasticshower@infosec.exchange]

@eunews did he ask Denmark?

[humourmetom@newsie.social]

@eunews Why send troops to a war that has already been won decisively by unstoppable U.S. military might and the genius of Donald Trump?

[pinchy63@ottawa.place]

@maccruiskeen @eunews
Right? Unbelievable.

[h_albermann@mastodon.social]

@eunews It will be interesting to see what happens if Iran –as announced – allows ships from countries that do not support the war to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. In that case, the listed countries would have facilitated the passage of ships flying their flags.

At least until the U.S. starts sinking those ships. I know, but what isn’t possible right now? ‍
