“This is not Europe’s war,” the EU tells Washington in a bruising rebuke on Iran even as oil prices rise.
Europe’s message to Donald Trump on Monday was clear: We’re not helping you secure the Strait of Hormuz.
Foreign ministers from the 27 EU countries gathered in Brussels to discuss the American president’s call for European countries to help secure the narrow waterway, a vital oil shipping channel that Iran has largely blocked in retaliation for U.S. and Israeli airstrikes.
Among the ideas floated was expanding the mandate of the EU’s naval mission — Aspides — to allow European warships to be sent to patrol the strait between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.



As an American citizen who still believes in the actual Constitution and the values that were enshrined Within I can say that I am perfectly happy with Europe telling us to f*** off.
Seriously considering becoming a refugee.
things have got to get really bad for you to consider living in a tent on the border for 6 or more months and running the risk of being sent back due to treaties after those 6 months and having to start over.
i’m not suggesting they aren’t, just, don’t flee just because of shit you’ve seen on the news. flee because of shit you’ve seen in person.
