Why is Trump asking other countries for help with the Strait of Hormuz? We could do it, but Trump does not want the possibility of a lucky shot on one of our ships. For both political and war reasons. Don’t give the democrats anything and keep the mystic of our Navy.

You know that Trump does not need any help here. Trump is setting up the reasoning for pulling out of NATO and Ukraine (only way to end the war there is for US to completely abandon Ukraine. Even if what we have right now is just options - even that has to go)
Also, Trump is exposing that the doctrine of Pan European Security thats part of the EU dogma to be flawed by showing that each country has different vested interests.
Additionally, this will be a great oppurtunity for other coalitions - like the Abraham accord countries, GCC etc - to learn how to take control of regional security.
In the long term if US wants to exit being the world police, everyone needs to be taught how to do it right in their own backyard.
Also, expose real friends and foes.
And of course, why waste more US billions if we can get others to do it.
I think it's the boomerang to get Western Europe to abandon Ukraine. See my other comment.
Sound reasoning. I agree.
