Will Trump lead a coalition to open the Hormuz Strait? (Poll)

[Churchill]

Will Britain cobble together a willing coalition, including the US to militarily open the strait of Hormuz?

European, Gulf nations scramble to solve Strait of Hormuz crisis after Trump says allies should take lead

President Donald Trump said the U.S. will soon wrap up its Iran operations, suggesting allies must take the lead in dealing with much of the aftermath.

A coalition of at least 35 nations was set to gather virtually on Thursday — without the U.S. — to explore ways to reopen the strait. The talks, hosted by Britain, included France, Germany, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates and the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas.
Lesser argued that reopening the strait by force would require the US and European allies to work together. “Ideally, this [Starmer’s coalition] would not be a replacement for US forces, but rather a larger coalition operating alongside the US,” he said.

Trump said Japan and South Korea don't want to use military force. India and China won't. That leaves the NATO countries, who don't want to get into a war with Iran.

What to do when Iran terrorizes the world and the US doesn't do all the heavy lifting?
Trump is showing that it takes will power and military power to take nuclear weapons off of Iran.

The UN is no help since Russia and China side with Iran.

Trump has zero leadership skills, he couldn't lead a piss up in a brewery we say in Britain.

Everyone else is.

Democrats are, and weenie EU countries are, they make the JCPOA but don't enforce it.

What “weenie countries” are you talking about?

The ones that won't help open Hormuz.
Starmer had a video call with 40 of them but none want to step up and help us open Hormuz.

Did Iran get a nuke under the JCPOA? At least our allies were working with us back then.

Iran worked on their nukes during JCPOA...

In the short term, yes. In the long term they will become more independent of us and may lose our superpower status.

Another unAmerican post. The $39T debt may cost us our superpower status, but weenie countries won't.

Do you think they now want a nuke less or more than they did before?

Another unAmerican post. The $39T debt may cost us our superpower status, but weenie countries won't.

If those 'weenie' countries increase their trade with China at our expense, if we become diplomatically isolated and get left out of international agreements, we could see ourselves on the decline. Ironic that Trump's slogan was MAGA but he may have the exact opposite outcome.

If its Israel's war why did they do the JCPOA?

It's Israel's war. They are laughing their asses off at Christian Zionists for fighting their war for them.

Fact Check: Did the US under Obama give Iran $150 Billion?

U.S. is said to have handed $150 billion to Iran eight years ago, as tensions between the two nations worsen.

Then U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew told Congress in July 2015 that Iran gained access to $56 billion via the agreement, a fact check by PolitiFact in 2018 noted.

They were barred from making a nuke. You left that part out.

Well it’s spiking now. For no good reason

What would the price of gas be if democrats continued their "war on energy"?

Lower than it is now.

I call bullshit. Hybrids don't have that much range. My Jeep hybrid has 30 miles of a range on just the battery.
Please let me know what "vehicle" that was.

Iran was weeks away from having both, called an "imminent threat".

No they weren’t.

Just stop lying.

Iran claimed to have enough uranium for 11 nuclear bombs, US envoy Witkoff says

Iranian officials told their US counterparts at crunch talks in Switzerland last week that the Islamic Republic possessed enough enriched material to build 11 nuclear bombs, President Trump’s…

“The 60% material, Sean, can be brought to 90%, that’s weapons-grade, in roughly one week, maybe 10 days at the outside. The 20% can be brought to weapons-grade inside of three to four weeks.”
“They were proud of it,” Witkoff went on. “They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs.”

Sure.

The stooge of the administration is hardly an impartial source. First they lied about the supposed obliteration…now they’re lying about the urgency.

High price to pay for distraction from the Epstein files.

Bush II did the same thing with the threat level.

I beg to differ. That's exactly the argument I would expect Israel to make.

Here we are a month later...no coalition. I guess when you repeatedly refer to other nations as shit-holes, they take it personally.

Shit-holes are like Somalia,
NATO countries who won't help open Hormuz are foolish because they are running out of jet fuel.
Maybe they should have stepped up for once?

Ahhh...you're transferring your self-centered MAGA psychosis onto your betters again. Nobody wants to do business with us or join our causes because we're on the wrong side of this. But don't let that fact stand in your way.

LOL. They all want to do business with us, just not pay the tariffs, they like the old unfair system where they tariff us but we don't tariff them.

Betters? Hardly. Not with those low IQs.

As for them cowering when Iran closes Hormuz, meh. When they run out of jet fuel they might regret their cowardice.

It was so unfair we have the largest economy in the world.

Those with high IQs realize that a leader of a nation who calls another nation a “shithole” has no integrity.

Kuwait and another country just lifted their restrictions on the US, so Project Freedom should be back to escorting tankers thru Hormuz this weekend.
