#trump says that allies in #europe and #asia should move against #iran and fight the #war in his stead, because they're being harmed the most by the closure of the #hormuz strait. What he fails to acknowledge, though, is that under the same logic they should all turn against the #unitedstates too. It's impossible to hide the fact that the United States has been equally responsible for the #oil #shock as Iran itself is. In fact, the US chose the war, while Iran is merely in a defensive position.
