40 (mostly) Pig Empire countries just got together to figure out how to keep the Straight of Hormuz open. They settled on pressuring Iran to open the Straight and sanctions. At literally NO POINT IN TIME did they mention pressuring the US and Israel to STOP BOMBING IRAN which is why the Straight is closed (to some... us, for example.)

I got nothing. Why are we allowing these muppets to lead us when storming the Winter Palace is right there?

@AnarchoNinaWrites Iran's now saying they want to coordinate with Oman to come up with a new protocol for transiting the Strait. China is almost certainly quietly pressuring Tehran, and they have leverage.

The Europeans seem to be operating on old imperialism software that says "obviously we run everything, we'll come up with something". The French and British ought to be remembering Suez right now.
