      The title is really poorly punctuated I think. I think it’s trying to say “Trump says he’s been rejected by NATO/most allies to join mission to secure critical Strait of Hormuz”

        It’s a bad case of news title wording which is a holdover from newspaper days. There’s little reason to economize on letters now and people could be writing proper grammatical sentences instead, but they don’t.

      Most ships are.not “flagged” in the US, small obscure countries make money his way.

      Most ships are not heading to the US but eventually the energy will generate trade which will head to the US.

      US economy benefits a lot by having the US dollar as the world currency. “Petrodollar”. By crashing the global economy with oil and an Idiot to blame for causing the mess, Iran can destabilize that whole economic balance.

    “Trump says he’s been rejected by all of the people he called losers and cheapskates. Considering new insults to get them back on board.” That should be the headline big media.

    he will use this as an excuse to leave NATO.

    a false flag attack will happen with the four stolen USAF drones.

    and WW3 will begin soon after.

    Right now it is in the interest of other NATO countries to see the US weakened militarily and politically. The US stopped being an ally as soon as Trump threatened to annex Canada and Greenland.
