The Western Alliance was already fraying long before the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began earlier this month. But the collective refusal of European leaders to even entertain the idea of assisting the U.S. in keeping the Strait of Hormuz open – and their personal insults against President Donald Trump – may have fractured the relationship beyond repair.
As Iranian forces continue to attack shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint through which 20-30 percent of all global crude oil flows, President Trump has called on European nations to form an international coalition to help reopen the strait. But the response from European leaders has been silence in some cases and outright defiance in others.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has refused to send warships to the region and stated that Britain will not be drawn into a “wider war,” along with refusing to allow U.S. forces to use British bases for offensive strikes. Germany also refused any military involvement, stating, “this is not our war, we have not started it.” French President Emmanuel Macron likewise declined to send assistance to help reopen the strait. Even Italy, under the leadership of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni – widely considered a Trump ally – has stated that it will not get involved.
During a meeting with Ireland’s taoiseach in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump expressed his frustration at NATO member states for refusing to devote resources to the military effort, particularly reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

As islam continues to infect Western Europe it seems we have less and less in common with them. Well, by “we” I mean conservative/libertarian Americans. The American left and Western Europeans are much the same.
This is the Henny Penny effect. Who will help us, not me, not me …..
“What happens when Islam infiltrates the highest levels of the U.S. government? Just asking for a friend ...”
We’re toast.
I will never forget a brief clip of a woman in a hijab walking down a White House hallway. This was several years ago.
Remember, 0 placed 1000 of his admin people across the federal government on his way out.
AMAC sells themselves as a "conservative alternative" to AARP, and is aimed at an audience of Americans in the 50+ age group.
Kind of reinforces Tucker Carlson's statement the other day: "The only people who support this war are those born between 1946 and 1964 who watch a lot of Fox News."
Trump should be sending troops/bombing to England, France, Spain and Italy not Iran.
That’s where the true genocide is going on.
Those questions present a loud wake-up call: A non-friendly Europe will necessitate a major and decisive shift in America's plans for the future.
We woke up in the late 1930's perhaps with no time to spare.
Now, we are already under attack from within - let's face it, Obama, Biden and the current Dem party have created an inoperable form of political cancer.
It is not so much a question of whether there is time to prepare, but whether the time to take effective action is now passing by each day.
Trump right as always.
Congress can cap hydrocarbon pricing within the US by law and bar exports.
The US is self-sufficient in hydrocarbons.
The EU can protect its oil supply or go dry.
The EU can close its market to Chinese-goods unless the Chinese tankers loaded with oil transfer a share to waiting EU tankers.
“Trump should be sending troops/bombing to England, France, Spain and Italy not Iran.”
Really!
The Muslim colonizers are not running things at a national level, yet.
Many of us regard MAGA as an effective slogan for advancing the political framework that has evolved since our nation's founding, and we are relieved that Trump's Executive Branch is acting effectively in accordance with that framework.
Your tagline suggests you might disagree. If so, please share with us 5 or so of MAGA's substantial failings.
It is a running joke in Czechia that The Czech government declares war on Russia by bombing Karlovy Vary... (a resort town in northern Czechia almost completely over run with Russians.)
I very much back suspending the exporting of oil/gas/natural gas and liquified natural gas to reduce prices for industrial and consumer prices.
I suppose that quip might comfort your bias against mature adults, but it seems to fail given the author’s photo @shaneharris153. He certainly looks to be under 50. But maybe it’s an old photo.
Ask the Bushes, you know George the lesser opened the borders after they destroyed the World Trade Center to show they had nothing to fear from us. But then the Bushes were great friend of the Saudi king. Hum, I wonder?
These issues are indeed outing the NTers.
