He's desperate to get the Europeans to join the United States in their bombing campaign, and at least in some sort of international coalition that would seize the Strait or force the Strait open.

Again, though, they don't want to do that.

And in fact, you have the major heads of basically all top economies in the G7 or in NATO coming out and saying, this is not going to happen.

Here's the Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the UK saying this.

Let's take a listen.

This will not be easy.

He's prepping them all for a crisis ahead, but he's still saying, we're not joining the war.

And he keeps saying, I just, all I ever wanted was a leader who would say things, and I'm not even sure he means it, when he's like, I will always act in Britain's national interest.

Why is that so hard?

to find here in the United States.

And to see the Euros saying stuff like this, again, the most globalist people on the planet, you're like, wow, what exactly have we done?

But it's- Well, they have no choice.

Exactly.

I mean, they really have no choice.

They don't have a choice.

They can't join the war.

And there's a couple of things I want to note about his comments in particular.

So first of all, he talks about where he's getting this meeting together.

So while he's sort of pushing the US, putting us at arm's length,

He's looking for greater collaboration between other European nations.
