So I imagine Trump's not going to like what German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius had to say about the request to send more ships:

"We did not start this war.

What does the world expect, what does Donald Trump expect from a handful or two handfuls of European frigates to achieve there in the Strait of Hormuz, which the powerful American Navy cannot manage alone?

It is not our war; we did not start it."

With rumors swirling about European countries negotiating directly with Iran... Trump has been begging for EU and Asian countries to come bail out the US military.

Like... it seems the options for world leaders is do you:

1. Work with the US... and likely have missiles and drone boars buzzing all over while your ships run the blockade

OR

2. Talk to Iran like adults and promise not to help Israel assassinate anymore of their leaders right now. No need to run blockade.

Rumours of THAAD missile defense systems being withdrawn from South Korea were confirmed this week by both South Korean and US media.

These billion dollar systems are being moved to better protect US assets near Iran to replace the depleted / destroyed systems originally tasked to the US Middle East strategy.

The US base in Fujairah, UAE was seen being struck around 1am on March 11th, which has become routine.

Video filmed by sailors showed 4-6 US missile interceptors missing the incoming Iranian missile before it struck the base.

Costing a minimum of $16M in failed interceptors.

#EpicFail - Yesterday Trump encouraged tankers to run the Iranian blockade.

This morning we were greeted by videos shot by the first tanker crew to take Trump's advice... showing the crew clinging to life rafts watching the smoking wreck of their ship.

Three ships have been struck by Iran in the past 36ish hours.

Iran says they're doing IR monitoring of engine heat for signs if any movement without their permission.

Yes. We are encouraged to diversify so many things (diet, investments, skills) yet our short-sighted governments won’t heed this sound advice regarding energy. I haven’t forgotten that Doug Ford cancelled wind & solar projects early in his 1st term as Premier #EpicFail
