So Trumpy Nomates.
A stable Genius who does not need anybody, no allies, they are just leaches who do nothing.

USA is powerful bigliest and bestest, needs no help, better on its own. They just slow us down.

Now when his Navy are set to be targets as easy meat as a Bigliest Battleship Ever, in that tiny seaway.

Suddenly he wants the allies he does not need and shuns?
The Orange Calamity, creates the problem, makes everyone else targets, then wants them to sacrifice their blood to solve it.
Send me your cannon fodder.
So I can take the spoils.

The issues have escalated to include Iraq. The American embassy in Iraq has received fire. American citizens have been advised to leave the country:

If the New York Times said that, I would be more inclined to believe it.

The Guardian - Trump says US may strike Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub ‘just for fun’

14 March 2026

Donald Trump said on Saturday that the United States may carry out more strikes on Iran’s Kharg Island oil export hub “just for fun”, saying that while Tehran appears ready to make a deal to end the conflict, “the terms aren’t good enough yet”.

He said the US strikes had “totally demolished” most of Kharg Island, telling NBC News that “we may hit it a few more times just for fun.”

During that same interview with NBC, Trump questioned, without attribution, whether Iran’s new supreme leader “is even alive”.

Donald is again behaving like a (dumb) 12-year-old school bully. 🙄

EDIT Reuters confirms this report.

3rd week rolls on since Trump won this war.
I won on the first day, beat Putin's 3 day SMO.

Iran still sends drones and missiles, far less, but enough get through, destroy normal life
It does not take many.

Iran is too big hunt down every HiLux, White Van or Truck that 'might' be a drone crew.
To find every tunnel with no boots on the ground in a massive country with so many mountains.
You can't cover every inch with bunker busters in case there is a tunnel not too deep underneath.

Turkey could not wipe out Kurdish tunnels in Syria with all its drones and airpower.

Tankers and freighters vulnerable to the smallest drones, wait for escorts that never come.

Prime Ministers hide from interviews and others pretty much go with,
if it's over in a week impact won't be much.

Nah. Life isn't completely normal in the UAE but generally it's ok. If you aren't close to a strategic target you don't have a great deal of disruption.

Kuwait has had the worst of it, it's more difficult there.

Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi says Kharg island was attacked with HIMARS fire originating from the UAE:

The distance is a little longer than the documented HIMARS range. Even so, the military implication is unfortunately clear.

What possible reason would he have to lie?

Trump: "We destroyed the Iranian military"

Also Trump: "We need help from allies to protect the Strait of Ormuz [against the destroyed Iranian military]"

The crazy Cheeto wants to start a world war and have other nations fight for Israel.

Not to worry the war was scheduled to be over in two weeks so it’s all over right? Right?

NATO is a defensive alliance, not an offensive one. We didn‘t start the fire. Let the honk get a bloody nose himself. 😁

The IDF has plans for at least six weeks:

CNN: “We have thousand of targets ahead,” IDF spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said. “We are ready, in coordination with our US allies, with plans through at least the Jewish holiday of Passover, about three weeks from now. And we have deeper plans for even three weeks beyond that.”

After Gaza I think everyone knows Netanyahu will always find more targets for bombing and has no off switch.

Let's treat Trump's request for assitance the same as his treatment of the dead American soliders; limited support at best.

Because Trump skipped over the whole "let's tell the allies what we'd like to do, and get Congress approval to declare a war because I had a feeling Iran was going to attack", the American solidiers' widows are missing these benefits

Expanded Survivor Benefits: higher benefit rates or new provisions could be aimed at supporting families during wartime
Gold Star Families: a formal war declaration could enhance these benefits or establish new avenues for support.
Hazardous Duty Pay and Combat Pay: greater financial support to soldiers deployed in conflict zones.
increased Healthcare and Disability compensation
Presumptive Conditions: if a service member develops a certain illness or condition (PTSD, cancers related to environmental exposures in combat zones), it is easier for them to claim benefits.
Education Benefits for Survivors: might have access to educational benefits like the Post-9/11 GI Bill
Social Security and Civilian Compensation: might prompt legislation that enhances these benefits for surviving spouses, children, or dependent parents of service members who perish in combat

If Trump or Barron had ever been a courageous and fought as soldier, I'm sure they would consider these benfits beneficial.

I have very little sympathy for any Americans at the moment, they elected Trump a second time knowing what a dishonest, vindictive, ignorant narcissist he is.

My bigger concern is not holding warmongers/war criminals to account.

Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul of Germany, which was not mentioned in Trump’s call, told ARD television: “Will we soon be an active part of this conflict? No.”

Lets go for the "You broke it, you fix it".

The more I try to find a way out of this mess, I think that US+Israel need to be treated the same way that Israel+UK+France were treated in the Suez Crisis

Other countries need to pressure US to stop by refusing to cooperate in the Hormuz Straits, and make it absolutely clear that the US and Israel caused the problem.

Although Trump has just threatened NATO, he is already weakening NATO by the threats to Greenland and removal of staff from NATO commands in European. The only deals that matter to Trump are ones that he personally made and is already prepared to renege on.

It is a tragedy that a UN resolution was passed condemning Iranian responses without acknowledging the original war crime of the US+Israel attack.
