Big strong foreign ministers, with tears in their eyes, saying "sir".

You don’t suppose Krasnov was lying.

America is becoming a pyrrhic nation to much of the rest of the world.

……one of those “Coalitions of the Willing”cause those worked out so well.

Oh, that would be sweet.

1. Freedonia
2.Westeros
3. Eurasia
4. Genosha
5. Themyscira
6. Wakanda
7. Pottsylavia

Their royal navy is primed to help!

Yeah, that’s about right.

drops all tariffs.

Just kidding, no they won't. All he's going to get from our former friends is a one-finger salute. And rightfully so.

Haven’t broken Iran but he broke the safe passage of commercial goods through the Hormuz Strait. Trumpstein owns the blocked strait.

... is exactly what Putin wanted Trump to reduce America to, and the slimy scumbag is getting away with it because Republicans have been in on his nefarious scheme from the git-go, and refuse to do anything to rein Trump in, regardless of how outrageous his claims to unlimited power have become.
Trump is – as he has always been – an out-of-control bully, but now there are no constraints on his mindless malice; a bull in a china shop looks like a prima ballerina in comparison to his rampaging rages, and ketchup-stained walls.
Fuck the niceties of protocol; Trump ignores them, and SCOTUS lets him get away with it, so those on the Honorable Side of the Aisle had better come to terms with the irrefutable fact that even heroes have to get dirty once in a while if human decency – and America – are to survive. Trump has to be stopped, and we can tip-toe through the legalities of how we went about it after he's imprisoned and silenced. His malignant minions will be dessert.

I'd bet big his daddy, Vladdy, told him this would e a cakewalk and to go for it! And he's so greedy and demented and murderous that he was happy to oblige.

tell him they will send thoughts and prayers

Why on Earth would we expect anyone else to help us clean it up? Other countries aren’t stupid.

will line up for service.

As it should be.

red hat magas to battle.

It's tricky to bite the hand that protects you.

Foreign countries haven’t exactly rushed to answer the American president’s call for assistance. Imagine that.

So to sum up:
1. Trump alienates/insults allies
2. he launches an unnecessary war with no international legitimacy
3. he declares war “over,” dismisses need for allies’ help
4. he sees the war go sideways
5. he “demands” allies help us solve a problem he said doesn’t exist

Refuse to help him in war everyone knows shouldn't have happened in the first place.

The incredible gall of Agent Orange to DEMAND our former Allies send ships after all the insults, threats and abuse is mind-boggling. NATO was never part of this ill-advised war. According to Donnie, we don't need friends. Until we do.

We were not attacked. We are the aggressors.

Donnie, Emperor of the Universe, needs a bailout, an exit-ramp after he was told by military advisors this was a bad idea. Instead he listened to Netanyahu.

How absolutely predictable.

"I alone can fix it."

Well, Mr. Shart of the Deal, have at it. Fix the mess you created!
