Nope, not in Afghanistan and not in the Gulf. Many allies support your efforts. You just don't hear about it much.

Unfortunately Iraq has been made such a political hot potato that many governements cannot afford, politically, to participate. Too many politicians with too little backbone.

We do have some allies, but most (not all) are quite jumpy and shaky when the ride is getting though. Most of the (old) European “allies” are expendable. When the sh*t hits the fan it’s America who is in the front trench.
