Cable Forum - Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that most of the United States’ NATO allies have told Washington they do not want to be involved in its military operation in Iran, according to a post on Truth Social. He said this was despite allied agreement that Iran must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.

Trump criticised NATO as a “oneway street” where the US spends “hundreds of billions of dollars per year protecting these same countries,” but receives little in return in a time of need. He said the United States had achieved major military success against Iran’s forces and, as a result, “we no longer ‘need,’ or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID,” adding that the US does not need help from Japan, Australia or South Korea either.

What a stupid bloody moron!!

Conclusion:

Somewhere on a high rooftop in Iran, there's a bloke (or a woman, or a confused) that has a very very strong catapult and amazing aim.
There's also no shortage of ammunition laying around.

At this stage, I would like to ask this forum's brave Trump supporters to step forwards and provide some soothing words for Carth.

Yeah imagine how much worse things would be under her, mildly interested to know how you think he's better but won't expect a rational answer

:no: I just don't like her. The thought of her asking whether I'm ok would make my blood boil. Fuel pricing near enough doubled under Biden. More of the same :no:

Why would she ask if you’re OK?

It was one of the things she said during her campaign. Don't you have good memory or something :confused:

I can honestly say that during her campaign she never once asked me if I was OK, so, my memory is fine, thank you for asking…

Because the person's not ok if they thought that Biden was responsible for the increase in oil prices.
