At least it seems that NOW Trump has learned the value of having allies that he prior claimed the US did not need, EVER....
This is where the Magats on this forum jump in and start throwing out threats of why these countries MUST now jump in and bailout Trump and Magats after them starting a war with no consultation to others, no buy in from Allies and the allies now being told 'you are the ones who need the Strait so it is on you to clean it up'.
Why? Because Trump knows if the US is forced to do all the policing of the Strait it will be US soldiers only, who are killed by Iran attacks. The US wants to minimize US deaths and spread them around to allies to minimize them.
