All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT. You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done. Go get your own oil! President DJT

You know, you could just stop attacking Iran. That would open up the straits again too. So if that is a goal with the war, then easily achievable.

The European countries pulling overflight Rufus are doing so directly because Trump threatened to destroy desalination plants, a clear war crime and crime against humanity.

Who knows? A desalination plant has been hit in the gulf if that is what you mean. Who does that serve? My bet would be Israel any time we see an escalation.

"Get your own oil"

Europe could send ships to try to reopen the strait by force ... or they could simply stop cooperating with the US's attacks against Iran and drop sanctions against them in exchange for access to the gulf.

Iran has already decided they'll let ships from European countries not helping the US attack them to deflect from Bibi's prosecution and Trumps pedophila ring through for a fee, and will attack Israeli and US ships.

Habebe:

Israel/US hit theirs, they hit a Kuwaiti one (tit-for-tat).

Similar to how they started hitting energy infrastructure after Israel started hitting theirs.

But lets be clear what the US threatened: open the straights or we destroy all of you desalination plants.

That's straight up medieval "poison all your wells" shit. If you do that, you kill millions through a droughts. It's a straight up act of genocide that in WW2 terms ought to be punished by hanging your cabinet and any other complicit leaders (basically your entire legislature) and any officers involved.

European countries want non of that shit. You want to make yourself pariahs, knock yourself out.

The best outcome for this war would be the weakening of the US war infrastructure around the world. Ideally all the gulf countries would make us pack up and go home, and Europe would do the same.

We're addicted to warfare. It's time to cut us off.
