      **From Reuters:**

      The United States‘ NATO allies said on Monday they would not get involved in President Trump’s plan to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, further ratcheting up tensions within ‌the increasingly fragile alliance.

      Trump said the U.S. military would work with other countries to block all maritime traffic ‌in the waterway, after weekend talks failed to reach an agreement to end the six-week conflict with Iran. The U.S. military later specified that ​the blockade, due to start at 1400 GMT on Monday, would only apply to ships going to or from Iranian ports.

      „The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade,“ Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Sunday.

      But NATO allies including Britain and France said they would not be drawn into the conflict by taking part in the ‌blockade, saying instead that it was vital ⁠to open the waterway through which one-fifth of the world’s oil usually passes, which Iran has effectively closed since the conflict began on February 28.

      Britain and France in particular have enough experience with this shite going back to the suez lol. No amount of ranting on truth social will change simple facts of how dumb this is.

      Mark Rutte needs to resign. He clearly wants to support Trump no matter what.

      So Britain and France do not want to help US open the Strait…and they also do not want to help US block it to choke out Iran…all basically for political reasons.

      US needs to force Europe to publicly admit or say one of the following…

      (1) They (Europe) are ok with Iran in control of Strait.

      OR

      (2) US needs to take charge of opening the Strait.

      Recognizing that Trump/US caused the mess does not make mess go away as it does affect Europe economically more than the US.

      So the United States needs to force Europe to either explicitly say that they are willing to make deals with Iran OR explicitly say that only the US can solve Europes problems.
