Maybe the realization that 150 oil will wreck them

The poblem is that these countries did not say they would help. What they said, exactly was:

quote:

We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning.


I guess you can interpret that in a variety of ways. It seems to me that their position has not changed. They will help once certain conditions are met, like a ceasefire agreement - something along those lines.

Didn't I read a headline early this morning that Macron said they would never help?

Time really does fly.

If that follows through, perhaps we can see gas staying below $5 per gallon.

The coast of Iran needs to be cleared to provide safe passage. Probably going to take boots on the ground.

It's not possible, Trump was rejected and these countries are putting Trump in his place.

Sounds like Trump Bugs Bunnied 'em:

We're not gonna help.
You are gonna help.
We're not gonna help.
You are gonna help.
We're not gonna help.
You're not gonna help.
