Answering Trump's call for help in Middle East 'political suicide' for allies • FRANCE 24 English

what do you mean unpopular War

Yeah, what about his Board of Peace, I thought they all signed on to help Trumpy. They are a powerful group aren’t they??

Mullahs hanged three young freedom fighters in Iran yesterday. France usually criticizes the US for death penalty. But when it comes to the Islamic Republic, France is ready to support the Islamists. Shame on France!

How many wars have the US won since 1945?
Out of 250 years of existence the US went for 14 years without war. Let that sink in

Maybe it is time to stop being so diplomatic and use the same language as Trump. He is going to be in power for almost 3 more years, and those years can feel like an eternity if we have to keep up the diplomatic language all the way (especially as Trump himself has very little talent in that area).

We’ve told PM Carney not to get involved. This is Trump and Netanyahu’s self inflicted problem. Every other president has known better than jumping on Nutty-Yahoo’s Greater Israel Plan. This won’t end with Iran but with Israel wants another seven nations as part of his expansion plans. The US could be tied to Israel military action for decades.

The powerful military in the world need help

His claim “we don’t need their help anyway” is so very childish. Someone please read to him Aesop’s Fables: especially the one about the Fox and the Grapes.

Ask Denmark.

Which allies? Spain: NO!

The calculation for any nation is this: weigh the value of placating Trump by sending a boat through the strait to almost certain destruction and the death of all aboard, versus irritating Trump by sitting his war of choice out.
And remember - Trump's gratitude for any act lasts only to the end of his thank-you speech. After that it's a return to the transactional model, where the recent past has absolutely no value. Any leader that signs up and sends a suicide mission into the strait will be sacked by their party before the day is out, and reviled by their entire nation ever after.

Absolutely not.

Why not ask the board of peace? I thought he hated nato.

NO, GOD NO !

Then why were you there?

Boycott USA

trump is a putin's asset. He wanted to destroy NATO long ago but Generals wouldn't let him. Now the WH is a different beast and the Congress is doing nothing to stop this lunatic. Not helping in Hormuz is just an excuse

We didn't need to do this, the reason there is a risk to other countries property is due to what we didn't even tell them we were going to do?
As an American, no, after all he has done to our long standing friends, no help. Make him figure out an exit strategy he won't be able to accomplish.

So let me see, I have a neighbour who walks into my backyard & tells me he want this portion of my yard & if I don’t give it to him he will take it. Two weeks later that same neighbour come to ask for my help in a street fight he started. What would your response be?

Israel's navy should lead the way ................... where are they?

Love how tRump wears his IQ on his hat...

NO A LA GUERRA!

That was quite a smirk at 51 seconds!

Trump looking for a way out of the Iran war. Bringing NATO countries to help him, only to have them blamed. He needs someone to blame other than himself. That is the way Trump operates.

He doesn't understand how weak and powerless he actually is. He is effectively within the final year of his presidency. If elections in November are free and fair his party is losing big and he will be reined in.

Hello my name is Donald DUCK Trump and NOTHING, SORRY MAGA!

It didn't need policing until the US started lobbing missiles at Iran.

I miss when France was communist

what did he expect? that after praising putin, insults europe, putting tariffs on its allies but not Russia, threatening Greenland and canada! he actully threatening to do exactly what putin does in ukraine! and he thinks we wanna help him? nah F-off Trump!

In other words trump is saying "I created a disastrous mess in YOUR territory - now come and clean it up. I've made it your problem now."

Will be Political Suicide, if allies are unwilling to assist !

Keep in mind that a "bad future" is guaranteed for the remainder of his term, regardless.

Are we, French, still allies?

Good luck with 10% inflation in the EU and UK for the next few years. 👍the fake comments won't help you

There is only one winner here - Putin. If the USA withdraws from NATO, will Europe be able to resist an attack from someone in Eastern Europe? Will Macron fly to Moscow again, becoming an object of ridicule like in 2022?

Funny how when Europe called (twice) the U.S. (stupidly) answered the call. This war is a pointless, destructive exercise (like almost all of them), but still the lack of reciprocation is something to note.

Micheal Jackson never started a war to distract from HIS allegations.

Ceasefire for what... better do all out now

This escapade and diversion won't stop us from remembering the Trump / Andrew Epstein issue.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Bro started a war for 0 reason other than Netanyahu saying that Iran has nukes (when they clearly don't), didn't think about any of the consequences beforehand, and now wants help from people he actively anatgonized for months.
Like how is this guy the president of one of the strongest nations???

China could escort their own ships

After this nobody will listen when western liberals talk about human rights and condemn dictators! They are just now showing that they do not care about those that brutally oppressed by dictators. People living under brutal oppressive regimes will lose their hope, they have been shown that liberals refuse to help people that live in dictatorships.

It take a pity, While the world is ganging up to Trump because his rekless action toward the world, it's terrifying?

Ah yes, the same person who being all smug and introduced his tariff board that affects every country, including his allies.
