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.

JAKARTA, March 31 (Reuters) - Indonesia will implement several measures from April 1 to counter soaring energy prices and supply disruptions linked to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, the government said on Tuesday.

Here are some key ‌measures:

The government will limit fuel sales at 50 litres per day per car, the country's chief economic minister Airlangga Hartarto told a news conference.
Indonesia will maintain the price of subsidised fuel, energy minister Bahlil Lahadalia said, while the government, with fuel retailers, is assessing price adjustment of non-subsidised fuels.
The ⁠government will implement work from home policy every Friday for civil servants except health and security sectors, Airlangga said, which could save 6.2 trillion rupiah ($364.92 million) in fuel subsidies.
He also urged private sectors to impose work from home policy, excluding essential services such as finance, health, energy, and transportation sectors.
Indonesia will reduce work trips for civil servants by 50% for domestic travels and by 70% for overseas travels.
The country will reallocate budgets for non-priority programmes which could ‌save ⁠up to 130 trillion rupiah, he said.
The government will cut free meals distribution to five days which could save 20 trillion rupiah.
Fuel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas supplies are secured, energy minister said, adding that Indonesia has sourced LPG from the U.S. to ⁠replace supplies from the Middle East.
The 2026 energy subsidies budget is 381.3 trillion rupiah ($22.4 billion). This assumed crude prices averaged $70 a barrel and the rupiah traded at 16,500 ⁠per dollar, but crude prices are high and the rupiah is weaker than those levels.
There have been reports of lines at petrol stations in several ⁠cities, with some buyers anticipating a price increase from April 1, according to local media reports.

US military force has two huge weaknesses;
1) Having expensive high tech weapons means it hurts their wallet to actually use them in any numbers, and more importantly, 2) It's a boxer with a glass chin. It can dish it out but it cant take getting it back at all.

Whereas the much smaller boxers it always picks on for fights are prepared to take a lot of punishment, the US cant take more than a handful of lethal casualties before the whole country starts crying. Their glass chin shatters like a wine glass dropped from a skyscraper at the slightest bruise.

This is a massively significant and highly exploitable weakness.

Exactly. But the leaders in Germany and Britain are too afraid to anger the US mafia.
