French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said it would be unrealistic to launch a military operation to force open the Strait of Hormuz after US President Donald Trump challenged allies to work towards reopening it. In unusually strong criticism, Macron accused Trump of constantly contradicting himself on the Iran war and of undermining faith in the NATO military alliance.

    So Trump created this whole mess. Then he is asking others to go there and put their necks on the line to fix the wreck he created and what he can’t fix.

    You create the mess, you fix the mess.

      Trump is trying to bait them in for ww3. He doesn’t benefit in any way from being humiliated. He needs WW3 so he can try to remain in power. Without power, hell spend the rest of his days in a cell.

      Iran has given him a clear plan what should be done to open the strait. Trump could literally open it tomorrow if he wasn’t such an ass.
