    Why would NATO want to get involved with Iran? Ukraine is right on their border. The two situations have no parallels.

      If individual Nato members see it in their interests to assist the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan against Iranian missiles, drones and its proxies, that will be entirely at their determination and not under US/Israeli command or directive.

        Straight of Hormuz??? More like Gay of Hormuz.

        The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

          The Ayatollah sucks.

          This is all quite delicious. I hope it’s true.

            Putting Trump’s transactional foreign policy actually, extortionist foreign policy, into perspective:

            "Take unilateral actions without including allies, then bully them into supporting that action," — this is how Trump's approach was described by Daniel Hamilton, a foreign policy expert at the Brookings Institution.

            Adding to the irony, Trump has dismissed the one partner who rushed to offer assistance with shoring up drone defenses against Iranian attacks — Ukraine.

            ….”The last person we need help from is Zelensky," he said separately, instead accusing the Ukrainian leader of stalling peace talks with Russia, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin is "willing to make a deal."

            Moscow, which has repeatedly rejected a ceasefire in Ukraine and continues to push its territorial demands, promptly supported Trump's criticism of Zelensky.

              A rather optimistic take on the war from an unexpected source. (Use the ‘reader’ view to get rid of the annoying page artifacts)

                Why is the source "unexpected"?
                I thought it quite obvious that much of the Middle-East's ruling classes and intelligencia want Iran (at least the Ayatollah's regime) to lose.

                  Wasn’t sure whether to put this here or the Iran meme section or the funny pics. All fitting.

                      Why not? After all over on this side of the world we now have Golfo del loco Gringo.

                      Over there it’s now only fitting to rename the strait something to effect, such as: مضيق اليانكي المجنون (madiq alyanki almajnun).
