UK and Japan among countries that are considering options but yet to commit warships to blockaded shipping route
Countries including the UK, Japan, China and South Korea have said they are still considering their options but without making commitments after the US president, Donald Trump, urged them to send warships to the strait of Hormuz to secure the vital shipping route.
The effective closure of the strait of Hormuz by Tehran, in retaliation for airstrikes by the US and Israel, has proved catastrophic for global energy and trade flows, causing the largest oil supply disruption in history and soaring global oil prices.
However, the international response to Trump’s call for the dispatch of warships has so far proved vague and reluctant, with countries unwilling to commit to a military response that could prove treacherous for their navies.



As it should. NATO is a defense alliance, not a pedoking/kingbibi distraction gone bad. I hope the EU can keep holding on, because the influx into far right parties and EU election tampering has become noticeable enough to possibly change this in the future.
Why isn’t the Orange ShitGoblin using the ‘Board of Peace’ to sort this trifling issue out?
Typo, it was supposed to be ‘Bored of Peace’ /s
The next world war is gonna be governments vs people. World civil war
That’s really what they all are.
Isn’t that what MAGA claims Jan. 6th was about? People are getting increasingly put into bubbles to work against their own countries by networks bought up by billionaires exactly for that purpose, and they are spinning it just as you have.
I dislike increasingly elaborate insult names, absolutely no one who cares about it really needs convincing, they just make it unnecessarily long and random nonsensical jibberish. And I like mangos.
If they don’t make any sense to you, you might be clueless. Two words, too “increasingly elaborate” for you, and one of them is literally used by the supporter’s of whom I was referring to.
It’s obvious, elaborate means that they’re getting longer and varied and more contrived. We don’t need a million variations of insults for someone that is already reviled.
But what if they’re hilarious, like Drumpf
/s
It’s ok to call the namecaller-in-chief names.
The scary far right parties tend to be against NATO. CDU implemented all of the hateful anti-immigrant legislation the AfD wanted. Its those “pure liberal hearts” that want war on Russia, and digital ID surveillance.
Sorry bud, Russia launched the “three day” invasion of Ukraine, not the other way around. Digital ID surveillance, that’s not party dependent, how blind do you have to be to not see Palantir over in the US. From the power hungry to the people seeing fake Internet theory work out in social networks, they all want “digital ID surveillance”.
NATO only does humanitarian bombing.
haha
Don’t you laugh, damn you.

“NATO framed its bombing as a humanitarian intervention”
A purely defensive humanitarian bombing, mind you, according to astute international affairs observer TheObviousSolution.
Now, let me tell you about a country called Russia. They don’t do humanitarian bombings. That’s quite silly of them since all they needed to do is “frame” it as such.
But what can you expect from a country that can apparently invade all of Europe with a single washing machine CPU.
Let’s ask one related question so everyone can decide whether any argument here will be handled in good faith or not.
Do you believe Bosnian Serbs were commiting genocide?
Original conflict was about Kosovo. 1000 years of progroms by both Ottomans and Serbia to the region. Serbian claims of Albanian gangs doing mean stuff certainly had a basis. Serbian army intervening is like Russia defending Donbas, or like NATO intervention for Kosovo/Albania (both picking a side), and more legitimate than US recent bombing of Carribean fishing boats.
Fighting in Bosnia, even if groups had arms supply support from different sides is much harder to make the usual political BS warcrime accusations that comes from home grown political narratives, and political BS against specifically Bosnian Serbs is an extreme stretch that has never stopped US+Colonial empire scum before.
WHAT!! It was “ethnic cleansing”. And what does NATO have to do with this? They have these humanity-loving impulses only in certain cases, it seems.
Sorry to offend your favorite country’s pedoking ally that you had to go several decades into the past. Funny though, the love relationship between Trump and Putin, and how offended people like you seem to get when either are criticized.
NATO is a defense alliance. That it has or hasn’t lived up to the designation isn’t a good segue into your propaganda spins and attempts at talking bullshit about other users, it can be criticized when it hasn’t just as it is being criticized now.
NATO was formed by america to control Europe as pawn against soviet union, it has nothing to do with defense.
NATO had many nazis as generals initially, had it been defence alliance they wouldve accepted soviet union in NATO just after WW2 when soviet union asked so, but no their whole intention was to make an enemy and fund lockheed martin
Death to NATO
Go enshittify piefed, some of their promoters seem to want you there.
The Yugoslav Army only does humanitarian ethnic cleansing.
