Leaders seek a diplomatic solution despite US president’s threat of ‘a very bad future’ for NATO unless it provides warships

European countries have ruled out sending warships to the strait of Hormuz, despite threats from Donald Trump that NATO faces “a very bad future” if members fail to help reopen the vital waterway.

Germany ruled out participation in any military activity, including efforts to reopen the strait. “There was never a joint decision on whether to intervene. That is why the question of how Germany might contribute militarily does not arise. We will not do so,” the chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said.

He added: “This Iranian regime must come to an end,” but that “based on all the experience we have gained in previous years and decades, bombing it into submission is, in all likelihood, not the right approach.”

Kick out America's and Israel's embassadors => problem solved.

I bet the vast majority of my countrymen would be fine with that if it means gas and fuel prices going back down. Even if that's not yet the case, I bet it will be the case if this shit continues for another 2 or 3 months.

Only the politicians around here in the pay of or blackmailed by America and/or Israel put having those embassadors here above the welfare of the population.
