#Trump is urging #NATO to commit to protecting the Strait of Hormuz. But that's not how the alliance works. You can't threaten allies with annexation (#Canada, #Denmark), collude with #Russia against #Ukraine, start a war without any consultation within the alliance, wage it without an exit strategy or a clear objective, and then run to NATO when problems arise. #StraitofHormuz #Iran #Iranwar

@rpolenz I bet he will soon pull article 5 as “Iran has started this war”.

Only, the North Atlantic Council has to agree to activate article 5.
