Why would they join the war that is already won?

But he just said he doesn't need them! What happened? Was he wrong?

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/8/trump-says-us-does-not-need-united-kingdom-aircraft-carriers-for-iran-war

My god he is such a fucking idiot. He just insulted them and told them their help wasnt needed. Just a stupid, pathetic, hatefull asshole.

I thought he didn't need our ships for a war already won.

The only official response to him from the UK should be the direct quote about not needing the UK. No additional words. Don't take any words out. Just the exact quote.

“That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”

Huh.

The infinite might of the United States is unable to hold and defend a 24-mile wide body of water.

Think about that for a second.

“We have already destroyed 100 per cent of Iran’s military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close-range missile somewhere along, or in, this waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are.”

In what appeared to be an appeal to the UK and other nations, he added: “Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint will send ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a nation that has been totally decapitated.”

Mr Trump struck a markedly different tone from when, earlier this month, he accused Sir Keir of joining the conflict after the US had already claimed victory, suggesting the US no longer needed UK assistance.

“The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East,” Mr Trump wrote earlier in March. “That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer – But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”

I'm starting to think he was never very good at the businesses and the strategies all along!

"I want Greenland! Give me Greenland, or I'll go to war with Europe! Give me what I want OR ELSE! "

3 months later:

"You better help me save face from my virtuosically incompetent war strategy OR ELSE!"

Would love for a country to just ask a billion dollar per day, paid in advance, for any help. Art of the deal and all that.

Fuck off loser.

This is the same country that was seriously planning to invade and annex Greenland just three months ago. They might have postponed their plans in favor of bombing Iran, but Greenland is still on the table.

So Europe may suffer the economic consequences of this mess, but the White House getting humiliated and the US military getting degraded and bogged down in Iran are both a boon for Europe.

My only fear that some European leaders (looking at you Starmer) might actually be stupid enough to follow them in this folly out of some misplaced sense of appeasement.

In what appeared to be an appeal to the UK and other nations, he added: “Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint will send ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a nation that has been totally decapitated.”

China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK…wut?

Sane-washing title

the US president urged Britain and other nations – including France, China and Japan – to send warships to the area to protect oil tankers from Iranian attacks.

Not a good sign if we are asking China to change our diaper.

Where the fuck is Israel in this war? Where are their soldiers?

Just one week ago he "truthed":

The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!

What? Wasn't already won one week ago, and no help was needed? Now it needs to beg for help?

According to the article, this is what he said:

Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint will send ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a nation that has been totally decapitated.

How does that turn into this?

Donald Trump pleads for UK to send warships to secure Strait of Hormuz

"Please spend billions of dollars to pull my ass out of the fire!"

France already told him to go fuck himself.

I submit the following: an oil shock and the resultant recession/depression is worth enduring so that the world may be rid of Trump. Let the idiot wear his blunder, and may the economic disaster he unleashed be forever known as the Trump Slump. The alternative might be WW3.

One thing, though: we must help Ukraine defeat Putin. Russia is getting a huge boost right now from Trumps's blunder. If the UK and others send ships anywhere, it should be to blockade Russia.

Donald Trump is just trying to drag everyone down with him.

This timeline is unrealistic and poorly thought out.

Dear UK, do not help pedophile rapist out!

• America

Ignore that fascist bastards whining. He dug his own ass into it let him dig himself out

The problem with the American military doctrine, is that they don't have one; everytime they need to fight a war, they find somebody else to be the troops while they stick to a "support" role.

What in Frankensteins vagflaps is going on with his face? It looks like it was sewn together from discarded bits of uncooked chicken skin

He does command the - by far - biggest navy in the world. If he can't fight the war he started to distract from the Epstein files, he calls others, who have nothing to do with it, to do his dirty work and get the blame.

Alternatively, the UK can kick out the US and Israeli ambassadors and its oil will be allowed to pass the Strait.

Why? Because the U.S. decommissioned most of its purpose-built minesweepers?

Only STRONG Pedophiles Leaders BEG other Countries to Help them coverup their Child Raping! do Israel's Bidding! not Embarrassingly LOSE a War Bigly!

I don't have a lot of faith that a worm like Kier Starmer won't fold after Trump yells at him a bit.

The sad thing is that they just might. The Brits (and the rest of Europe) need lower energy prices

They didn't when Reagan asked. And Reagan didn't even start that war.

Pathetic

USA started it, USA should finish it! We don't give a fuck about USA starting a war and then beg the rest of the world to do something! Maybe you should send your citizens!

Trump can eat dick all day long
