Washington Examiner columnist Guy Benson said that other countries’ “internal politics” are likely at play for withholding help to the United States in Operation Epic Fury.

President Donald Trump scolded North Atlantic Treaty Organization members for not aiding the U.S. in the Iran war on Tuesday, but added “we don’t need them” even though “NATO is making a very foolish mistake.” Benson said what some European countries would argue is that it was Trump’s choice to enter into war with Iran, and “they’re not prepared to help.”
