Why didn't Trump ask them for help with keeping open the Straits of Hormuz?

[SocialDemocrat61]

1. Isn't their navy in the Mediterranean?

Not really in a position to help

[LakeVermilion]

2. Who could have anticipated that they would be needed?

Just sayin'.

[StoolPigeon]

4. Suez Canal

[SocialDemocrat61]

11. Do they have access?

[BeyondGeography]

5. How does that line of thinking work for all the NATO allies he's shitting on?

[SocialDemocrat61]

12. Depends on where

their navys are stationed.

[ChicagoTeamster]

16. They could have transited thru the SUEZ to the Red Sea and they'd be joining US Navy.

3. BIbi is his ally.

He knows it's a futile, self-destructive task, so...
ask NATO (which he hates)>

[Prairie Gates]

6. It's hard to find schools and hospitals at sea

They also would have trouble opening passage for oil tankers rather than closing passage for food aid.

They're not really suited to the task.

[David__77]

8. That sums it up well.

[Kid Berwyn]

7. They're busy blockading Gaza.

Besides, that’s why Israel employed Donald and the Pentagon.

[NoMoreRepugs]

9. Wouldn't TrumpenFuhrer have to clear that deployment with AIPAC first?

[twodogsbarking]

10. Damn shootin' they have a navy and the US paid "good" money for it.

[Bev54]

13. But do they have a leader right now?

Anybody seen Bibi? And I don’t mean the AI videos

[GiqueCee]

14. He probably did...

... but Bibi told him to pound sand; he'd gotten the fool to start the war, then cut him loose. Netanyahu, like Trump, is loyal to no one but himself.

[Sogo]

15. Furthermore, if they were so eager for this war, it should be Israeli boots on the ground....
