You put it perfectly.

The more we analyze Trump and his administration, the clearer it becomes: There is no deeper analysis needed, there is no intentional ambiguity to his decisions and words as a negotiation tactic.

It is all very simple. #trump can in many regards really be summarized by a single word:

Incompetence!

Breaking: Trump furious as NATO and allies refuse to join Iran war — US left isolated in conflict

March 18, 2026

President Trump expressed sharp displeasure Tuesday over NATO's refusal to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. The US remains isolated in the war it launched against Iran nearly three weeks ago without consulting international partners.

Who refused: Most NATO members, Japan, Australia, South Korea, China.

Europe: "This is not Europe's war. We were not consulted. We do not know its objectives." — EU's Kaja Kallas. Macron offered help only in a mission separate from the conflict.

UK: Limited base use for missile defense only, not broader strikes.

NATO question: Trump called it a "great test" and said the alliance is making a "very stupid mistake." When asked about US exit: "That's certainly something we should think about."

The irony: Despite public claims of not needing help, the administration actively lobbied allies through diplomatic channels to designate IRGC and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations.

Context: Strait of Hormuz carries 20% of global oil. Asian economies most vulnerable — yet Japan, South Korea, and China all refused.

Analysis: Starting a war without consultation left Washington diplomatically isolated. Trump's NATO exit threats deepen transatlantic rifts. Public "no help needed" rhetoric contradicts active diplomatic lobbying. Europe refuses to join a war it never approved.

Conclusion: The crisis exposed deep divisions. The international community does not consider this war theirs. While Trump fumes over disloyalty, the conflict continues, oil prices fluctuate, and casualties mount.
