WASHINGTON, March 20 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump assailed NATO allies on Friday over their lack of support for the U.S.-Israel war against Iran, calling the longtime U.S. allies “cowards.”
“Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER!” Trump said in a social media post.
Trump has been calling for major U.S. allies and others, none of which were consulted or advised on the war, to help secure the safety of shipping through the Iran-controlled Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has roiled global markets, killed thousands and displaced millions since U.S.-Israel strikes began on Feb. 28.
The U.S. president complained NATO countries did not want to join the fight against Iran, yet still complain about high oil prices.
“Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with so little risk,” he wrote.
“COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!”
Germany, Britain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan and Canada pledged in a joint statement on Thursday to join “appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait.” But German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made clear that this presupposed an end to combat.
French President Emmanuel Macron said after a European Union summit in Brussels that defending international law and promoting de-escalation was “the best we can do,” adding: “I have not heard anyone here express a willingness to enter this conflict — quite the opposite.”

But I thought we’re winning

it is peak irony to demand NATO backup for a unilateral war that bypassed the alliance’s entire consultation framework from day one. Friedrich Merz and Emmanuel Macron are clearly prioritising domestic energy security over joining a “simple military maneuver” that could easily spiral into a total regional collapse

How can someone who avoided the military draft 5 times call others “cowards”

Trump being Trump. He pushed America’s allies away for months and then gets enraged they refuse his pleas for aid. Pleas or rather threats I suppose.

So we went from “Help us please” to “We don’t need help, we’re the strongest there is” to “Those cowards won’t help us” in a span of 3 days.
This orangutans brain is goop.

“we the strongest”. Also, “we need help with the straights”. Also “we dont need your help”. Also, “cowards”.
THis is in like three days.

He’s panicking.
He knows he’s crippled the world’s economy and that everyone blames him.
It will take years to recover to where we were.
Just reading over the International Energy Agency’s most recent report; we’ve never seen an energy crisis like this one we’re going into.
It’s scary.
Most people still don’t realise how bad this is.
This will cause famine in poor nations; nevermind acute poverty in the rich nations. Trump caused famine to do israel’s bidding.

Maybe don’t insult everything and everyone, cripple everyone’s economy, brag about your military might and then come crawling back asking for help from allies in a DEFENCE pact when you start a war without even telling your allies. What a moron.

He reduces aid to Ukraine who is actively fighting NATO’s #1 strategic adversary.
He imposes trade tariffs, sending markets into turmoil and forcing allies to find new trading partners, which he then whines about.
He takes military action against **inactive** adversaries, gleefully taking lives like they’re nothing. Like life has no inherent value.
He starts a war without though of consequences, as a distraction from mountains of Epstein files.
He dismisses long-standing allies… countries who have fought and died next to Americans after 9/11. Giving them no respect for what they have given.
And now, when under pressure at home from the political fallout of his Iran mess, he throws a tantrum when competent leaders choose to sit this one out.
Trump is an embarrassment and a disgrace.

Nothing builds comradery than calling your “allies” cowards.

He said this sitting in his gold palace, surrounded by “national guard”, and thousands of miles from the illegal war he started.
