    Werewolf Trump calls on foreign countries to protect their own oil tankers





    The president, who has long expressed opposition to America's role as the world's police, tweeted that China and Japan are among the countries that get most of its oil via shipping through "the Straight" and called on them to protect their own vessels.

    "So why are we protecting the shipping lanes for other countries (many years) for zero compensation. All of these countries should be protecting their own ships on what has always been a dangerous journey," Trump tweeted.


    "We don’t even need to be there in that the U.S. has just become (by far) the largest producer of Energy anywhere in the world!" Trump continued. "The U.S. request for Iran is very simple — No Nuclear Weapons and No Further Sponsoring of Terror!"


    Trump's tweet came as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with leaders in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to discuss how to counteract Iran's actions in the region.

    Pompeo tweeted that he had a "productive" meeting with the king of Saudi Arabia where they discussed "heightened tensions in the region and the need to promote maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz. Freedom of navigation is paramount."

    The U.S. has blamed Iran for attacks last week on two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, but Trump has downplayed the episode, calling it "very minor."

    Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have been rising since Trump pulled out of the Obama-era nuclear deal last year. The issue appeared to come to a head last week when Iran shot down a U.S. drone. The two sides have disputed whether it was flying in Iranian airspace.

    The U.S. was prepared to launch a military strike in response, but Trump said he called it off after learning at the last minute that it would have killed approximately 150 Iranians.

    The Trump administration is expected to announce additional sanctions on Iran on Monday.
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Good plan since the US is totally energy independent from those 3rd world shitholes.....NOW. Let the UN and those nations who still need middle eastern oil protect their own interests. Our military has more important things to protect.....like our southern border. Just keep the MULLAHS squealing like a pig while their economy goes down in flames.

    Trump tells countries to PAY UP if they want US protection in Strait of Hormuz

    Ever the businessman, US President Donald Trump saw something in the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz most others didn’t: a chance to rake in some cash by demanding foreign nations pay for “protection.”
    Trump took to Twitter Monday to, once again, call out world governments for supposedly freeloading off the US, this time by allegedly getting premium American protection services in the Strait of Hormuz.

    Looks like Trump has a plan.....to starve the MULLAH'S to their knees. Just keep blaming these attacks on IRAN and the UN will soon see things like TRUMP....when they start starving for oil. Its will be a collation of the desperate with no veto's when it comes to IRAN. There is more than one way to skin a MULLAH. Finally a leader with BALLS of steel. Its not patriotism that keeps the world turning....its money and greed. Trump is playing those hypocrites in the UN like he plays the democrats of this nation.

    Pretty stupid Ralph. Trump is actually forcing some Iranis to act. The drone was not enough to justify the Bolton plan. So he is starving the Iranians until they reach the proper level of reaction Trump needs.
    Trump/Bolton /Pompeo are going to get their war.

    Reaction? You mean like altering Tehran's amassing more nuclear fuel.

    I don't believe that there will be a war with Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism.

    But if there is, it will be their war. If they cease and desist from their acts of terrorism, as the bombing of oil tankers and shooting down of American assets over International Waters, there will be no need for a military response to their acts of terror and aggression.

    Their economy is crumbling and the Mullahs will have to decide between a revolution or ceasing their acts of terrorism and their support for terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.

    Since we will become energy independent next year, why are we guarding the shipment of oil in the Gulf? Let them eat their oil. Or pay the US to guard it.

    it is hard to discern from your post, but are you supportive of this move or against it?

    I think it makes sense don't you? I mean why should we be in a position to expend blood and treasure for others? Don't you agree? No war for oil right? Isn't that the leftist mantra?

    President Trump is forcing the Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, to act.

    Either cease and desist from their acts of terrorism and their support of terrorist groups, or face the wrath of the US Military and US sanctions.

    it's their choice.
