Iran has already offered all countries the out of kicking out the US and Israel embassadors so that their ships are allowed to pass the Straight.

Further, my impression is that at least in Europe and especially after the Greenland affair, most of the public opinion thinks Trump is an untrustworthy liar AND because they attacked Iran unprovoked, America and Israel are the ones to blame for the increase in fuel and gas prices they’re already feeling.

(There’s enough independent press in most of Europe that the “blame Iran” messaging is far from dominant)

The idea of sending European ships into Trump’s war is incredibly unpopular and whilst I don’t think we’re quite yet at the stage were kicking out the American embassador would be popular, the more fuel and gas prices go up the more acceptable it looks.

Then the whole Epstein files thing throws suspicion in people’s minds on any European politician that’s a little too eager to do what America or Israel wants.

At the very least the offer from Iran introduces doubt and confusion making it far harder for blackmailed European politicians to find a way to justify the incredibly unpopular idea of putting European ships and military at risk because of a war of pure aggression started by America and Israel.

This looks like a job for the Board of Peace!

So far, the US has not sent its own navy ships to escort tankers through the strait.

Then why would other countries send ships to help in a war that the United States of Israel started without consulting them??? Trump, again, shitting himself and expecting others to clean him.

In Plane interview last night, Trump threatened NATO members to join the war. “We will remember their inaction/US has a long memory” after a year of threats and extortion against all allies. There is no known offer to allies to “be paid” to help. Meanwhile, Israel has authorized, for first time in history, to pay for its own weapons. Trump’s threats come with declaring it a victory if oil prices increase for allies, because US oil companies getting richer is “good for America”.

Despite “ahead of schedule on plan” claims, this is all obvious defeat. Every other country in the world is much better off getting Iran’s permission to cross without military escorts. They need to extort and threaten the US to get them to declare victory and lift sanctions on Iran. Just buy Iran’s uranium, and STFU. US would need to pay more to allies for their help than they’d pay Iran to save face.

The strategy has been to turn allies against us in every way possible. Gee I wonder why they’re not clamoring to risk life and limb for trump now. And lol, his first instinct is to threaten them to get their help.

He simply cannot fathom how to handle a situation where he doesn’t hold all the cards. He was born rich and through his entire life he’s only had any success because of combining that unearned wealth with psychopathy. He holds no cards right now.

Wtf would China, of all countries, join us? That’s just fucking stupid.

Once again, the USA being the only NATO member to ask ‘allies’ for help, only to later call all of them freeloaders.

I thought it was “already won” and he didn’t need anybody else’s help?

I thought he didn’t need any help with the war he had already won?

The United States needs a regime change

Why should any sane country even respond? This is an American-Israeli undertaking. They started it out of folly, they deal with it.

Maybe he should ask his “Board of Peace” for support. There are more than enough bootlickers.

Or the ships should simply follow the law of the seas: the country responsible for the ships’ security in such cases is the one they are sailing under. Let’s see how Panama, Nigeria, Philippines (or whatever is the cheapest flag of fancy at the moment) run to help.

He could ask Spain.
