What's happening behind the scenes is really strange. Trump had said he wouldn't send troops, and now he's completely changed course. In my opinion, either this guy is being manipulated/blackmailed by something we don't know about, or he's a complete madman and lunatic.
Ignorance becomes foolishness and expensive when you are unaware geopolitical maneuvers and strategies....

US Pres Trump Calls NATO 'Cowards' For Not Joining Fight Against Iran - We Will Remember Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran. Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER! President DONALD J. TRUMP
