We are not counting on Europe, but they need the Strait of Hormuz much more than we do and might want to start doing less talking, having fewer fancy conferences in Europe, and get in a boat. This is much more their fight than ours.

Europe and Asia have benefited from our protection for decades. America and the free world need capable and loyal allies. Time for freeriding is over.
