It's the final act before he says "You are making me break the china because you wouldn't help me clean up my mess." Remember, everything is a lawsuit to him, even war, so this is just posturing to say he offered everyone a chance before he opens up and does whatever it is he's intended to do since the onset.
I think he wants a "No" on meaningful coordinated assistance, because then it's just "him", he's the "victim" and justified in a quorum of one of one at that point. Do you really believe he wants other commander-in-chiefs messing things up? Stealing his thunder or his oil? I don't even think he's even really coordinating with Israel in more than the general country to direct fire at.
Trump doesn't share. He leads or he cries and sues.

So now we're doing "haha, made you look!"? Wow, that's mature behavior for a 6-year-old. How old are you again?

Ok. If other countries send warships, and escort tankers, how does that stop Iran from bombing 💣 all of them?

Wouldn't it have been easier just to send them all over-sized Florsheims?

Yes, I am afraid your fellow Americans are really that stupid. And we are all paying the price for their stupidity.
