Strait Talk

 "All ​of those countries that can’t get jet fuel ​because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation ​of Iran, I have a suggestion for ​you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, ‌and ⁠Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT."

These were the suggestions the Orange Felon offered up to those countries who were unwilling to join in the illegal war started by (checks notes) the Orange Felon. 

Just for amusement's sake, let's pretend that you were a world leader from, oh let's say a country in Europe and you were trying to decide to get involved in a war in the Middle East. Would you have come along if you were asked nicely? A coalition of the politely asked, perhaps? 

Or maybe he could have asked in the first place, before he started "decapitating" and "obliterating" things. Or if there had been some sort of plan in the first place.

I dunno, maybe one that provided continencies for one of the most vital waterways on the planet?

Instead, the Orange Worst and his cronies flew in, guns and bombs ablazin' without giving the Strait of Hormuz a second thought. The military capabilities, rumored to be destroyed by the Trumpreich, still managed to put together a nice bit of a blockade on the pinch point of most of the world's oil supply. In case you missed this tidbit, the next time you're driving past a gas station in the United States, take a peek at the price per gallon.

Oh. That's right. You can't drive past a gas station because you can't afford to drive past a gas station. 

Meanwhile, the great nations of Europe and elsewhere are being held hostage by an accused pedophile while he tries to work on his short game. It seems the infantile pyromaniac would now like help putting out the fire he started. 

Come on! Build up some delayed courage and help me clean up this mess I made. 

With all due respect, which is the tiniest bit I can assure you, no. 

Thank you for your attention this matter.
