Why has NATO seemingly shifted its stance on getting involved in military deployments to (re)open the Strait of Hormuz?

Because, it now transpires that the Tangerine Tyrant threatened to withdraw support from Ukraine unless NATO members pitched into the US/Israeli initiated Iran conflict.

Obviously we shouldn't be surprised, the TT is always transactional, but this (to me) represents a new low even for him.... a complete disgrace as a human being!

@ChrisMayLA6 Wouldn't NATO members be better off telling TT to f off & putting their money into Ukraine instead?

@annehargreaves @ChrisMayLA6 It’s not the money, it’s the systems, the arms for those systems, the huge amount of training in usage & tactics, and the field logistics for maintenance & resupply.

And, in this case, having a kill switch we don’t control.

@BashStKid @ChrisMayLA6 Yes, unfortunately.
