“These motherf–kers always talk about Article Five, Article Five, Article Five, Article Five, Article Five. OK, well, Iran has been blowing up our soldiers and ripping their wings off for, you know, half a century, and we finally responded, and now they’re f–king going after all our major non-NATO allies and the United States — and you guys are like, not only saying we’re not going to help, you’re closing your airspace to us … Really?” – a Trump ally close to the White House w/e TF that means (Politico Playbook reports)
So, alrighty, Numb Nuts. You may have an opening preamble for an argument about going to war with Iran there. Maybe. If you started like this, in private communications with NATO allies, six or eight months ago, and then started sounding a bit more sane and sober over the hypothetical course of a continuing conversation geared towards getting all of them and most of the rest of the planet on board, instead of this dumbass approach that, charitably, we will call Go It Alone, maybe you wouldn’t be left all alone to clean up your own fucking mess.
But, here we are.
I would explain, point by point, what all your crew has done wrong, but I don’t want to waste everybody’s time with intel you won’t pay attention to, anyway.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see some NATO members starting to step in and help out with the horrific mess you have created in the Middle East by bringing political chaos out onto the world stage, but it isn’t a safe bet. Sometimes when you go it alone, it sends a signal to the other kids that you do not need them, and they take that how they take that. Usually, at your word.
So, yeah – you broke Iran. You bought it. You need to clean this mess up.
