Trump tells the UK and other countries 'go get your own oil' from Strait of Hormuz
BBC ^ | 3-31-26

Posted on 03/31/2026 5:00:01 AM PDT by nuconvert

US President Donald Trump says countries "like the United Kingdom" who can't get jet fuel because of the restrictions around the Strait of Hormuz should “build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT".

In a post on Truth Social, he writes countries will “have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us," addressing countries "which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran".

"Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done," the post adds, ending with: “Go get your own oil!”

I hope this means the military has convinced him how stupid it would be to invade Iran.

The President was convinced that allowing the war the mullahs started in ‘79 to drag on for almost fifty years only served multiple Deep States.

I support the president’s decision to end it by winning it.

Thanks to Deep State and a defense bill passed in 2024, the president can no longer do that, with regard to NATO, unless he has approval from Congress.

So I guess the WSJ article wasn’t fake news.

It’s far more likely that the Europeans reach a political deal with the Iranian government and pay whatever tolls are demanded to ensure safe passage.

“Go get your own oil!”

Us? We're OK - we've got lots of our own oil and refining capacity.

We don't need the oil going through the Straights of Hormuz, we just don't want Iran to have ICBMs with nuclear warheads.

THAT'S why we're there.

There is no Iranian government.

At best there are scattered fragments hiding in bunkers

--- "The President was convinced that allowing the war the mullahs started in ‘79 to drag on for almost fifty years only served multiple Deep States. I support the president's decision to end it by winning it."

Agreed.

The European Union and little "Great" Britain have been pushing wind and solar energy generation while denigrating hydrocarbon energy, and have expected these United States from serving their policy goals in both energy, war and migration, and social "transformation" for a very long time.

A favorite graphic from last year portrays this well.

We were expected to "serve" those Deep State(s) interests. Rather, who sat across them at the Resolute desk was not an Obama-Biden-Harris figure, but President Trump. Alas for the EU and their supposed vassal -- us. The tables are well and truly turned.

Will Trump appears to think he is negotiating with one. Our intelligence agencies say the regime remains intact.

There was always the threat of the Straits being closed whenever Iran chose the time.

“Trump tells the UK and other countries ‘go get your own oil’ from Strait of Hormuz”

TRANSLATE: “Trump tells Europe to GROW UP”

Basically he’s saying that their Net Zero fantasy has to go and Europe better go back to whatever energy sources they still have.

Pretty much the same with all their other socialism. We’re not going to fight for them anymore and they keep behaving like college-educated women.
