The fact of the matter is that the U.S.'s (former because Trump pissed them all off) allies will NOT be helping the U.S. take over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump is a colossal f*ck up.
The Beginning of the Collapse in US's Military Hegemony, the Petrol Dollars no longer the Single Currency in the Trade settlement and the beginning of preparation for more Arlington Ceremony.🤔😉🤣👏
