The Western world has become dependent on.....counts on the US because the Western world became a welfare recipient of America's largess and moral guidance since 1945. And now, like a typical welfare recipient, they have come to view that largess as their due and are outraged when it may not be forthcoming.
That’s it in a nutshell.
In a letter to the editor in the WSJ …
“President Trump has requested other countries to assist in the full opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Real allies would have volunteered their help, not needing to be asked. There are very few countries that aren’t being harmed by this closure.
I am reminded of the children’s story, “The Little Red Hen.” No one wanted to help make the flour, the dough or bake the bread, but they all wanted to eat it after it was done.”
