And this is, in my opinion, why support at Hormuz shouldn’t even be on the table. How can you possibly hold joint patrols when you were just months ago planning

And this is, in my opinion, why support at Hormuz shouldn’t even be on the table. How can you possibly hold joint patrols when you were just months ago planning full scale war between each other?

Also, the "was" in this title feels misleading. If they're not still, they're crazy.

  The original title is better translated as "prepared". The tweeting reposter translated to continuous past tense somewhat erroneously imo, because it sounds as if the preparation was interrupted by something.

    Preparation is an ongoing thing. And not just in Denmark.

  It is on the table, why are you spouting bullshit? People are discussing this right now. Or do you mean Denmark wont help at Hormuz, but I doubt Denmark would help there anyway, but other countries are discussing that. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/uk-military-iran-war-strait-hormuz-oil-prices-b2941629.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/uk-military-i...

      It is on the table, on the table means it is still discussed, that is what they are there for. If it wasn't on the table they wouldn't go there to discuss it. On the table doesn't mean it is already decided they will send anything.

        Who's discussing what exactly? Give sources, everyone publicly said it's not on the table. Your own link doesn't mention any of this. France/UK/Spain/Italy/Germany/Greece all very clearly stated they won't send jack shit to Hormuz while the war is active, they're the biggest navies in Europe, so who's left?

  Lars Løkke Rasmussen - Minister of Foreign Affairs, said just the other day on Genstart (podcast), that an EU solution for the Hormuz straight could be an option. This would probably be through Aspides.

    Yeah, he's talking for himself, and begging for one, everyone else said "No." Danemark can keep their CIA bases and fuck right off to daddy trump if they want, nobody in Europe will follow them to a war in the middle east

      It's absolutely insane they're thinking of bailing out the US given the context of this thread.
