      I can see European politicians spinning this as technically not getting involved in the Iran-American war or the Israeli genocide because its the Houthis and this is a critical trade corridor for Europe. This would require Trump to stfu and not loudly boast about “how Europe is finally jointing Team American in the fight with Iran” and pissing off every European who wants nothing to do with this war.

      Don’t think that the EU is gonna do shit. Russia has been ratcheting their attacks against Europe and we’re busy preparing for that. Funnily the price of diesel in the US is approaching the regular price of diesel in Europe.

      No European wants to die for the delusions of some demented pedophile in the US. This isn’t even a defensive war, Trump started it so he can’t even invoke Article 5.

      EDIT: the Iranians haven’t even attacked any European ships, bases or nationals. This is not our issue.

        These are the Houthis blocking Suez, not Hormuz. From the article it’s not clear if they are blocking all ships or only some.
