The US president has “threatened to stop” supplying weapons for Ukraine to pressure European allies to join a “coalition of the willing” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reports, quoting people briefed on the discussions.
According to the report, Trump threatened to stop supplies to NATO’s weapons procurement initiative for Ukraine, which is funded by European countries.
On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Al Jazeera it was “very disappointing” that NATO allies such as Spain blocked the use of their airspace and bases for the US-Israel war on Iran. He warned that Washington will re-examine the value of NATO after the war is over.
Just imagine what he will do as soon as he thinks that this lever will work!
Wait a minute…
Driving the news: A reporter asked Trump in the Oval Office earlier Tuesday how he planned to bring oil prices down
“All I have to do is leave Iran, and we’ll be doing that very soon,” Trump said, predicting prices would come “tumbling down.”
Why would trump care about a coalition to reopen the strait, if oil prices are going to come “tumbling down” regardless? What an idiot.
Imagine if Iran just kept the strait closed lmao
Ohhh so the US IS capable of conditioning aid.
Trump reeks of flop sweat at present. The desperation is notable even from my vantage point in Australia.
Coalition of the threatened.
Watch, their response is gonna be “Don’t let the front door hit you where the Good Lord split you.”
i’d expect some “ok daddy” as always, but i can hope eu leaders are not dumb enough to take part in the iran clusterfuck trump made for himself.
As an American, I hope they stonewall him. Let him and Bibi humiliate themselves.
But I thought European countries were too weak to be useful in a fight?
And also if European countries weren’t willing to deploy troops to the Ukrainian theater why would they to this one
You do realize that Ukraine has more cutting edge tech at the new way of war that the US. The EU is getting more weapons from Ukraine and they are building factories in the EU
It’s not just that.
Everyone and their mother knows that Iran had close networks with Russia and China. The fact that NO ONE in the West seemed to have learned anything or at least took inspiration from the Ukraine-Russian Conflict is testament to the stagnancy in the West.
Name some examples
