Red State! Amen.
It’s not yet clear how much assistance they may provide. But it looks like they are realizing that it’s in their interests.
Its a positive development.
The Brits have mine sweepers.
Not sure who has modern escort ships that can withstand Iran's attacks?
 
When the Straits of Hormuz are closed, the global price of oil goes up a lot and it don't matter where it comes from. So the Euros and Japanese had to realize their economies are going to suffer unless they can bring the cost of oil back down to reasonable levels.

As I said. Europe wants China First and China First cannot occur if they lose their access to oil.

They will not help America and Israel remove a despot in Iran but they sure will help the Communists in China. Regardless of ones opinion of the war, they need to be consistent with their cries of "international law" when they didnt say peep when China took the Sprately Islands or HK.
 
Seems like it would have bene smart to figure this out before launching a war.

They have agreed to assist the re-opening of the Straits only after Trump ends the war. They will not go anywhere near the Straits until the fighting ends.



Just the news is not a valid source of anything.

  • Overall, we rate Just the News Questionable and Right Biased based on story selection that mostly favors a conservative perspective. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to numerous failed fact checks and the promotion of conspiracy theories and right-wing propaganda.

This is a classic example of real military ignorance.

In any conflict, the enemy gets a vote.

Remember that.

The plans to keep it open seem to have hit a snag. It has nothing to do with figuring it out. Sometimes, you have to adapt and figure it out on the fly.

Closure of the strait is not unexpected.

You know that you you have zero credibility. Like your “sources.”

Which is what I said.

Iran gets a vote in this, so it is going to take a bit longer than anticipated.

I don't think they're going to bow to your massive military strategy credentials.
 
I knew they would come around.

As usual, Trump made them an offer they could not refuse. I bet Trump told them that if NATO doesn't chip in and help with the Strait's oil flow which is more important to them than us, they could pretty much kiss goodbye any hopes of getting oil from VZ or Iran in the future once we deal with it all on our own.

Spain is a real disappointment, total bungholes.

Wondered if you realize that the TBSNews link you provided also has a story similar to the JustTheNews one has in the OP.


"The leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan issued a joint statement urging "an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations".


"We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait," they added.


"We will ⁠take other steps to stabilise energy markets, including working with certain producing nations to increase output."





So, how is JustTheNews any different from TBS?


And Macron saying the French won't take part in any military operations in the Straits is like an accordion player saying he won't be playing with a heavy metal rock group.

Exactly!! Which begs the question, why are democrats so surprised that it happened? They seem to be under the impression that no one had thought of this, which is super weird.

You're projecting again.

Your refusal to believe that Trump is a lifelong criminal - despite his frequent confessions of bribery, rape, extortion, and abuse, all of which he has bragged about endlessly, is an indictment of YOU, not those who keep telling you the truth.

Trump has even said he has no problem with Putin helping Iran target US soldiers. How despicable. He's sending people to die, and it's OK with him if Putin is helping to kill Americans.

I'm only surprised that the Trump administration didn't anticipate it with an appropriate plan.

It does????

Then why is this quote front and centre:

"President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday France would never take part in operations to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, pushing back on comments by US President Donald Trump that Paris was willing to help."
 
You're projecting again.

Nope. You’re just doing your standard fare:

“I know you are but what am I?”

Pee Wee didn’t better.
Your refusal to believe that Trump is a lifelong criminal -
Partly right. I do refuse to accept or believe this retarded and dishonest contentions.

You’re too much of an asshole to realize you have zero evidence.
despite his frequent confessions of bribery, rape, extortion, and abuse, all of which he has bragged about endlessly, is an indictment of YOU, not those who keep telling you the truth.
Beyond the fact that all your claims are horseshit, you’re still a rancid pile of outs.

🥱. He never said any such thing. Lying is a bad look for you. Living is a bad look for you.

You really should consider trying — someday — to give honesty a chance.
