March 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump ‌said on Saturday that many countries would send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz ​open, but did not provide ​details on which countries would do so.

"Many ⁠Countries, especially those who are affected ​by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz ​Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep ​the Strait open and safe," Trump ​wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Trump said ‌he ⁠hoped that China, France, Japan, South Korea, Britain and others would send ships to the area.

"In the meantime, the United ​States will ​be bombing ⁠the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian ​Boats and Ships out of ​the ⁠water," he wrote.

And we need them? Why, I thought the US was all powerful. Really. I heard that from Whisky Pete himself.

You form the coalition BEFORE you engage militarily. Dumbass

5. And Margot Robbie is bringing me a pizza, salad, and wine for my dinner tonight.

Trump’s many nations are going to send ships to keep the straits of Hormuz open is like the many
people who are calling him about something or other. He is nuts.

35. She is so demanding in always wanting me to be some kind of love toy.....

I think I’ll gonna call it off. She doesn’t care what I have to say or what I think about things. And she
likes to snuggle a lot too.

Maybe if she does the dishes and walks the dog I will let her spend the night.

Orange pedo: so many I can’t count or even pronounce

[frogstar0]

12. Yep many counties, the best counties.....

Who in their right mind would send their ships and sailors into the gulf to help TACO?

[Harker]

13. They'll be there in "two weeks."

14. Which means, we're on our own for this little "excursion"

Fortunately, the asshole is reliably dishonest

[Wiz Imp]

16. Many countries

Atlantis, Eurasia, Freedonia, Grand Fenwick, Lilliput, Lower Slobovia, Pottsylvania, and Wakanda among others.

[Harker]

20. Hail Hail Freedonia!

[RazorbackExpat]

39. Pottsylvania, led by Boris and Natasha!

Maybe Stephen Miller Fearless Leader will make a guest appearance

[littlemissmartypants]

17. Trump says ...

Whatever the poorly programmed chat bot in his head tells him to say.

Bless his heart.

[AZJonnie]

18. Eventually he may be proven right unfortunately

If Iran keeps the Strait closed long enough some other countries may have no choice but to come bail he and Bibi's stupid asses out of trouble, just because their economies are in trouble due to high energy costs and possible shortages.

[NickB79]

19. Exactly. The Coalition Of The Unwilling But Desperate

The world economy still runs on oil and gas.

[Attilatheblond]

24. Maybe they will invade the US and take our oil instead.

We could use a little liberation and regime change about now.

[Prairie Gates]

21. In two weeks

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

22. Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Burundi, Eswatini and who else?

[DBoon]

33. El Salvador. Hungary, etc.

I'm sure the fearsome Hungarian navy will keep the straits open

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

36. El Salvador does have a seacoast, though.

I'm thinking Bhutan, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chad, Slovakia, Czechia, Mongolia, etc.

The Coalition of the Landlocked.

[Martin68]

23. Blah, blah, blah.

[walkingman]

25. Pound Sand!

[True Dough]

27. I'll bet

it's far fewer countries than the few that joined his ridiculous "Board of Peace."

[3catwoman3]

28. Yeah, like who, exactly? All our former allies that you have managed to..

...insult and alienate?

[thought crime]

38. Our former allies must be feeling some sweet schadenfreude

[Turbineguy]

29. Name 6

OK, name 2.

[Sneederbunk]

30. The only ones who can keep the Strait of Hormuz open,

are the insurance companies.

[IronLionZion]

31. The most likely candidate may be Saudi Arabia and they haven't yet

Not UAE or Kuwait either.

[Rebl2]

32. Hogwash

[regnaD kciN]

34. "Don't forget Poland!"

While history doesn’t repeat, it often rhymes.

[BarbD]

37. And, he is on what planet?

Geez!

[dalton99a]

40. Somebody Please Help Me or I'll raise your tariffs to 1,000%

Oh wait, can't do tariffs anymore

[SamuelAdams]

41. I thought we had already won the war.

It seems like he needs a lot of help for someone claiming to have everything under control.
