"We do strongly believe that the solution is for Iran to stop its destabilising activity throughout the Middle East and we are very concerned about the sabotaging of tankers that has happened recently, which is almost certainly Iran, and we're constantly in touch with the United States.

What percentage of our oil do we get through the Strait of Hormuz? What percentage of Europe's oil comes through there? It's time for Europe - Merkel, Macron and all of the other hypocrites and gibbering idiots - to step up militarily and take care of its own interests.

Yes. Note that the "experts" (and the dems piled on) were telling us that we had to attack Iran or "look weak." Trump dangled the probable myth that some dumb*** in Iran's military ordered the attack on the drone and they grabbed it. For us, lose/lose -> strategic win. Of course this is not the end of the Iran story, and we can't get complacent.

One country that stepped up is India, their Navy is offering military escorts to Indian flagged tankers.
