    Change name from “Department of Defense” to “Department of War” and start invading a bunch of foreign nations for no reason and with no clear goals, while threatening others, including NATO nations, and then get surprised when no one wants to help you in your illegal war.

      He didn’t just shit on them, he repeatedly threatened to invade and annex a NATO nation.

    Hey Donnie, just cause we have an absurd number of guns in murica doesn’t mean the rest of the world (or even those of us here) are gonna bow down and kiss your ass.

    This is your mess and the fallout from it is on your head.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if China does eventually step in and demonstrate that it’s the adult in the room, but only after the US has completely embarassed itself.

      Oh the United States of America are well beyond embarrassing themselves globally. Internally though, well, that’s a different matter.

      i dont think china will help. i read that iran saying that they will allow ship passes as long the oil were bought in yuan. i dont know if that is true but its a sensible option for iran.

      I think a lot of people don’t realize what an absolutely massive military the US has. But China could just stop exporting electronic hardware to the US and pretty much cripple them overnight.

    Christ, the nerve of this felon.

    The guy is simultaneously doing things that seem to have the intent of breaking up NATO, and he’s doing all this stupid saber-rattling at China.

    And now he is making “demands” of them?

    JFC.

    He’s right, all the NATO nations should take Iran’s deal and buy their oil with Chinese Yuan.

    Demands from your allies that you routinely denigrate. Trump doesn’t understand that lack of respect or restraint leads to no one helping.
