French General Michel Yakovleff HUMILIATES Trump for begging Europe to get involved in his Iran War, says that it would be like "buying cheap tickets for the Titanic" after it hit the iceberg.

"We have five reasons to say no to him, in fact," said Yakovleff. "So, the first one is that he didn't understand that if he wants to carry out a NATO operation, NATO has to take command. So, there will be an American general, but it's a single operation."

“You can’t have an American operation where they’re bombing whatever they can and then below that, the Europeans doing something else,” Yakovleff said. “No, no, no, it has to be one sole operation, under a NATO flag. I don’t think he understood that.”

Yakovleff served as a three general in the French Army, was commander of the French Foreign Legion, and served in top positions in NATO. He's a highly respected military expert in France and regularly weighs in on issues of international importance.

Trump has been pleading with allied nations to get involved in his Iran fiasco. Iranian missiles and drones have made it impossible for oil tankers to obtain insurance to traverse the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's petroleum normally passes. Oil prices are skyrocketing. So far, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have refused Trump's request.

General Yakovleff went on to point out that Trump's strategic goals, beyond forcing open the strait, are vague and undefined. If NATO nations were even going to consider involvement, they would need the United States to explain explicitly in writing what the goals are.

"And it's not tweets, and it's not things that change every two minutes. So, already there, it's going to be necessary for Trump himself to know what he wants," said the general.

He said that there's also the issue of the lack of "confidence" in Trump. It's well-known that he regularly abandons his allies and he could do so here immediately after other nations got involved.

“He would let us down whenever it suited him," said Yakovleff.

He ended his tirade by comparing Trump to the captain of the Titanic trying to "sell cheap tickets" for his voyage "after having hit the iceberg."

“And the last argument is American: you don’t reinforce failure. I learnt that at the U.S. Army War College. You don’t reinforce failure, you move on, you find something else.” he added. "So, there are a lot of reasons to say no."

Says the Lefties who take political advice from movies, movie stars and the Oscars.

Bone-spurs TACO wouldn't need any help in that department.

So bombing Iran is now 'running away"?!?!



You guys are out of your Trump-deranged minds

This is a very good thing for America, they are now finding out who are weak. America now has the option of reducing its stake in Ukraine, its not their war so why should they be involved. In the last ten years Trump has made America self sufficient for energy needs while telling Europe that they rely too much on Russia, China and the Middle East and are at their mercy.

Russia and China have paralyzed Europe to the point that without America's might they are sitting ducks. Putin must be delighted to see the NATO countries pooping themselves at the thought of facing Iran's wrath.

Britain and France are no longer powers in Europe, Putin could crush them and China controls their economies.

Central Europe is the last frontier to Islam.

Russia and China know how to deal with islamic terrorism, they are not bound by stupid laws that make them fight with hands tied behind their backs. They will deal with Europe after Islam has destroyed it.
