Leaders seek a diplomatic solution despite US president’s threat of ‘a very bad future’ for NATO unless it provides warships

European countries have ruled out sending warships to the strait of Hormuz, despite threats from Donald Trump that NATO faces “a very bad future” if members fail to help reopen the vital waterway.

Germany ruled out participation in any military activity, including efforts to reopen the strait. “There was never a joint decision on whether to intervene. That is why the question of how Germany might contribute militarily does not arise. We will not do so,” the chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said.

He added: “This Iranian regime must come to an end,” but that “based on all the experience we have gained in previous years and decades, bombing it into submission is, in all likelihood, not the right approach.”

    I hope Trump suffers before he dies.
    It’s a horrible thing to think that way, and I didn’t use to do that for anybody 9 years ago.
    But Trump is so horrible, and has caused so much pain, that he deserves Biblical hell.
    Trump is beyond evil, you can be 100 times better than Trump and still be evil. Trump is on the level of Hitler and Stalin.
    In history we very rarely see leaders act this evil, even when they are evil. Netanyahu is his equal, and is also expressing sadistic tendencies and complete immorality in his polices.

    But what is worse, is that those two are elected in democratic countries. Meaning that they are not the real problem, but “just” symptoms of sick societies.
    Unfortunately USA has a long line of politicians in the republican party to carry on with what Trump is doing, that are equally without conscience. Maybe they are more intelligent, and maybe that will make them even more dangerous, or maybe it will make them hold back a bit, because they know being evil can make you unpopular.

    Yes Iran was a problem, but they were not thee problem. On a global scale that is Trump, Putin and Netanyahu. Or rather USA, Russia and Israel. Because the problem is not only in the top.

      Regarding Republicans they are literally scared of him, if you haven’t seen it look up Rubio wearing oversized shoes because trump gifted it to him.

      Nobody would do that, they would just "forget"to wear them, or if they didn’t want the person feel bad maybe even buy same ones with right size (it is not like they don’t have money)

      This was done to humiliate him.

      I think he has holding a kompromat on every one of the people in his cabinet.
