Description

US President Donald Trump has lashed out at the UK and other countries, telling them to "go get your own oil" from the Strait of Hormuz. "You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the USA won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us," he wrote on Truth Social. In five weeks of war, thousands of people have been killed - the vast majority in Iran and Lebanon. In this episode of Iran War Today, we hear from people inside Iran and have the latest update on the ground in Lebanon.

Right back at'cha. Honestly, since someone pointed it out, I can't help but notice, again and again, that "every accusation is a confession" with these people....

The guy who spent the last few weeks insulting his allies seems a bit surprised they aren't motivated. I wonder why?

I'd be happy with that. Close all US bases in the UK and turn to Europe. Kick USA out of NATO. Sell all US dollars and buy oil from anywhere in their currency or ours. Hit trump and the USA in the wallet. The whole world needs to dump the dollar and ostracise USA until they kick this idiot out and elect an adult.

What's the point of keeping an ally whose most salient qualities are unreliability and vanity, capriciousness and cruelty, pettiness and vindictiveness?
