Do you remember Trump’s 3-day war?  Do you remember his boast that US warships would guard oil shipments through the Hormuz Strait?

Well, now a “team effort” is required.  Last Saturday Trump called on China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK and other countries to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz. The slam-dunk 3-day war has been replaced by the necessity of an “international coalition” to prevent the shutdown of the world economy.  Trump should have listened to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but, instead, the White House Fool took Netanyahu’s advice, or, more correctly, orders.
