Pres. Trump’s actions, especially his illegal #IranWar, were not taken in defense of our national security interests. Those action benefitted the national security interests of Russia and they enriched both Russia and its ally Iran, which Russia helps to kill American troops. Trump defends and appeases Russia.

Trump waged the #IranWar "in a way that alienated partners and allies all around the world, and effectively ceded huge financial benefits to the Russians. A month from now the war can end because America couldn’t bear the disruption to global energy, helium, and fertilizer, and the Iranian regime remains in place, controlling the Strait of Hormuz, charging ships tolls to go through. It would be a war we lost": https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000010821382/what-if-iran-wins-this-war.html #OperationEpicFailure #PutinsPuppet #Trump #WorstPresidentEver

Timothy Snyder: "The whole #IranWar is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war in Ukraine easier and possible to sustain." #PutinsPuppet

Gerard Baker: "Military commitment to an alliance can obtain only in an atmosphere of trust . Do you think the non-US members of NATO have that sort of trust right now in the ally that says it wants to annex Canada and threatens to invade Greenland?"

"Mounting European frustration with Pres. Trump, and defiance of his wishes on the war with Iran, bubbled over on Thursday, when Pres. Emmanuel Macron lashed out at the American leader for his shifting war goals and his undermining of the NATO alliance. 'When we’re serious, we don’t say the opposite of what we said the day before every day'.":

This #PoliticalCartoon by Dennis Goris shows another way that Trump helped Putin
and another reason why Trump is known as #PutinsPuppet:

"Donald Trump’s anger at #NATO allies for refusing to join the war against Iran has so far achieved one thing: uniting them against him. They now share the grim view that Trump's increasingly angry attacks on Britain, Spain, France and others confirm a fundamental breach in the transatlantic alliance":

“Trump is facing the consequences of his unilateralism and for taking Europe for granted.”
