      Ss: Trump called upon „countries of the world that receive oil through the Hormuz Strait“ to „take care of that passage,“ as he put it in a post Sunday on Truth Social. In an interview with the Financial Times the same day, he went further, warning that NATO would have a “very bad future” if its members did not help free up the strait.

      It was “a bit rich” for Trump to be asking help from countries he had previously insulted, former Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves told NBC News in a telephone interview Monday.

      Most of the oil doesn’t even go to Europe so I really doubt they would want to send one of their ships down there only to get hit by a drone.

      I don’t disagree with the sentiment from European powers who were not included nor consulted on the invasion, but I can’t help but think that this is idealistic thinking on their part.

      Case in point: WW1 & WW2 in Europe wasn’t America’s war either, but it eventually involved us despite enormous pressure at home to not get involved.

      Liability is shared however. The longer this goes on the longer European energy is going to suffer. There should be some incentive to set least secure the flow of energy through the straight

      Spain’s current response stood out to me. They were saying any military intervention would be a stopgap measure versus ending the war now. IMO, if all of Europe unified around that message to the USA, that could amount to really powerful leverage. In other words, „stop the war first and then we’ll talk.“

      Can someone explain to me why Trump is asking for naval help? It just sets him up to be embarrassed. And the US’s problem is not lack of ships or manpower. Is it to share the embarrassment of this debacle?

      When every American ally and indeed every country in the world besides Israel is unanimous in what a bad idea this is, maybe they’re all on to something.

      So is Trump going to take note or is he just going to start threatening the allies again?

      I really struggle with this.

      I mean i don’t understand how Trump or his supporters can get behind this.

      He broke it, he fix’s it.

      It doesn’t take a military genius to work out that if Iran is under threat they’re going to use that strait of Hormuz as leverage therefore you would think that any military planner would have made securing it priority number one. Then to say on the one hand that we have „100% destroyed Irans military“ yet on the other demand that everyone else fix his mess, just doesn’t add up.

      There is zero logic behind his messaging on Iran, nothing.

      I honestly struggle to see how anyone can keep supporting him after this.

      Tump has spent the last few years alienating and belittling every western ally and global institution that the US used to lead and be partners with now he expects everyone to come running ? Let’s be frank if this was Obama asking the allies would be there in a shot, but Obama would never have started a pointless war or destroyed vital global stability.
