Suez crisis for Britain was about UN, US and USSR not approving UK, Israel and France’s shenanigans in Egypt and threatened to make shit difficult for them. Brits found this untenable and that made them back off. That was the whole humiliation. UK, the once great empire not being able to act with impunity on the world stage, when a third tier country takes it’s strategically important shit, without asking their allies nicely first.
Hormuz is literally US begging for help to win a war that they started, didn’t have to start, and now can’t win. On the face of it, this is so much worse than Suez.
Certainly more pathetic.
On the face of it, this is so much worse than Suez.
If god wills it, may it destroy them
Imaginary friends can’t do much.
I’m an atheist but it’s just expression. Calm down there lil buddy.
An AK-47 is more effective

and hopefully more impactful as a result.
Damn the Dutch and Chinese leaving us on “read” LMAO
Chaebol Republic dropping a casual “k” and leaving it at that

What makes a man turn neutral?
Erdogan of Europe. The Charentais melon Seller
Erdoğan is the type of guy who rebels to his masters first, then accepts objectively far worse terms for the country—not for him and his stooges though.
Honestly surprised Canada rejected
The US finally beat on them too much
Pleasant surprise from Australia.
Low key wondering if our last federal election might in retrospect have unironically been “the most important election of your life.”
Now evict pine gap.
canada has like a dozen combat capable naval vessels and all of them would immediately get blown to pieces if they tried navigating through mines and drones. It’s an easy rejection
I am reminded of that time practically all Canada’s AFV collection got stuck on a single boat.
Estonia volunteered! Get in there champ!
YES LEWIS GET IN THERE
It’s hammer time
Typical Balltick Nazi-leftover behavior.
Do you think Trump regrets his tariff flex now?
I suspect Trump is not capable of regret. Or rational thought.
Neither are his supporters, and the sycophants that surround him
actually wild how just 20 years ago literally every one of these countries would have jumped at the chance to do this with Iran, but they’re all afraid of being hung out to dry now becuase alphamale chuds don’t know how to do empire diplomacy
As my great chancellor said: “They didn’t even ask us beforehand and said they would need no help”. So now they are miffed. You know, in the old world, we still follow decorum. You ask beforehand or afterwards for clean up but not in the middle of your mess of a job. It’s not that they don’t want, it just looks too bad.
About 24 years ago most of these countries didn’t follow the US to Iraq either. The big difference is the UK and Australia not going.
Context sorry?
Countries responding to Trump trying to gather a coalition of the willing to open the strait of Hormuz by force
:bugs-no:
Incredible emoji placement here
Trump asked allies to make a joint fleet to protect shipping in the Gulf, and almost all of them said no because that would be suicide.
i love sending expensive military boats into a narrow straight full of naval mines and patrolled by drones, especially if I’m a country with like 5 military boats
In the words of someone from the North East ~ Shan on
Do we have source for this?
What did Greenland say? Denmark?
And I heard France told him to Fuck Off.
Even if we don’t like what’s going on, I think it’s wise to keep an open mind on whether Europe … in some way can contribute, but with a view towards de-escalation
“We must face the world as it is, not as we want it to be,”
He added Denmark had yet to receive any request from the U.S. for help. 
Greenland has pledged its entire air force, sorry to say.
So a couple of drones from Temu?
And who do you think will “help” the US? Türkiye.
I beg my comrades to kidnap me from here!

North Korea has consistently had one of the most anti imperialist stances in the world and has been against Israel for decades.
Edit: Removing my first sentence since I came in way too hot and I apologize for that.
Source for my other statement. Since 1988 they’ve recognized Palestine as the sole legitimate government of the historic Palestinian Territories.

weird how “allies” like yourself always use the same rhetoric as the people who want us dead. if you were actually an ‘ally’ you’d just acknowledge your comment sucked and learn to be less of a piece of shit.

Actually, it's quite humorous to imply that someone is gay. You're just too emotional to admit that being gay is actually really funny, because bad people are gay and gay things are bad. You can't be mad for saying this, because I am actually calm and mature for making jokes like this.[says homophobic shit]
[gets called out for it]
“Wow, you need to grow up sweetie”
how is boy crush homophobic?
You used it as an insult, it’s not that complicated.
you just called it a joke, so you’re saying it would be funny if Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un were secretly gay? Is it funny when people are gay? Do you think it would diminish the reputations of these two people if it turned out they were both gay and would you revel in that possibility?
i don’t have to look hard at all, you said that implying two people being secretly gay is a joke. That’s a funny concept to you.
Mite fuck around and regret posting this, but I generally think the idea of “boy crush” and “girl crush” are not really about sexuality at all.
Unfortunately the rest of your post is implying actually rude insulting things about the DPRK, so I’m not trying to defend you as much as defend the concept of heterosexual non-sexual homosexual crushes. Because it IS interesting.
Edit:
I have not been able to stop ruminating on this and have come to the conclusion that the “non sexual” heterosexual “boy crush” / “girl crush” language is actually a reflection of internalised homophobia. When used in the way I’m thinking, it is used to express complex same-gender attraction, while maintaining a veneer of deniability which would not be necessary outside of a homophobic culture.
Further more, I suspect it has dropped out of currency in the English language because we pioneered the phrase “no homo” to serve the same purpose.

KIM JONG UN IS THE ALLY OF THE WORKING MASSES OF THE WORLD. WHO IS INSULTING ALLIES?! ITS YOU!
“i would be your ally as long as you don’t get mad when i call people gay bc i don’t like them, but i’ll throw a fit when you call me out on that” just STFU breeder scum
Don’t bring that casual lib homophobia crap into here. Also North Korea has zero reason to aid a USA that’s hostile to them, against Iran, no less.
DPRK has the most progressive and anti-Israel and anti-imperialist foreign policy on Earth out of any nation. They are the good guys here.
It really is refreshing just how open the DPRK is about the Zionist Entity. I wish more nations had the courage of the Korean people.
Lmao, no he would not
silence, yankoids do not have the requisite brainpan dimensions to discuss matters in this forum
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea does not recognize Israel and never has. They acknowledge all of the land belonging to Palestine except for the Golan Heights, which they recognize as Syrian. You are the most misinformed person alive if you think North Korea of all places would come to the aid of Zionist warmongering.
Furthermore, I truly believe the DPRK should give Iran access to nuclear weapons.
Kim should say he would do it and smuggle a couple of nukes into Iran
What’s it like being a liberal and having absolutely no mental model of how the world works?
Braindead lib shit
