A group of more than 40 countries is meeting in Paris to finalise early plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The France and UK-led coalition insists the operation will only kick in when the war is over. Countries say they are ready to send warships, personnel and demining support. #EuropeNews
So it’s like when Trump talks to Russia and declares the war in Ukraine over (so long as Ukraine meets conditions x, y & z), without actually speaking to Ukraine?
Yes. But that’s just a dick move, because while it sucks there’s not much Ukraine can realistically do about it.
Meanwhile this is also stupid because Iran clearly holds all the cards (and anti-ship missiles) there.
