The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is willing to join the US-Iran war and is preparing to help the United States and other allies reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force, according to a new report that cited Arab officials. This comes as Iran continues its attacks on the UAE and other Gulf states in response to US-Israeli attacks on its territory. Such a move would make the UAE the first Persian Gulf country to join the conflict directly. This also comes after US President Donald Trump lashed out at allies on Tuesday for not doing more to support the US war effort against Iran,

It will be interesting to see how many European ships get sunk when Trump stops supporting NATO and they have to fend for themselves to get oil. Good move President Trump you have shown the world that Europe is no friend to us. Let Russian have Europe. Then they will see how intolerant Russia is to Muslims trying to run their government. Europe immigration policies has ruined it.

I'm not a fan of international stuff, but in the case if Hormuz I would make an exception.
When Iran is completely de-fanged, surrounding countries might grow a set, and take over land and water as necessary to keep Hormuz open.
DJT is always a step ahead of all of us and probably is already working on this solution. But the dimocrats will try to undercut the effort.,

This is great news that UAE is joining the fight! They have a lot at stake. As for our EU buddies, they are pathetic. They are standing around with their hands in their pockets. We need to remember this when they want our help again. One thing that must happen, President Trump NEEDS to follow this to the END. Iran must be freed and never have a weapon of destruction.

Make US energy independent and leave the ME mess to their oil customers.

Energy independence is not possible without building more refineries. As it is now, we produce all this oil but the lions share of it is shipped overseas, refined and then shipped back. Refine it HERE, and the price could be reduced tremendously.
Or at least thats what the table full of old guys sitting in the Waffle House drinking coffee, say.

Re #6. I'd rather be governed by the table full of old guys at the Waffle House speaking common sense than by the bunch of pretentiousness "think they know it all" blowhards in DC.

Most of those "know it alls" in DC are told what to say and how to vote by their party leaders or they will not get any campaign funding. I truly wonder how many actually believe the bile they spew and scat they strew.

In the future, when UK, France or Germany want our help, we should treat them like FDR treated Churchill: demand concessions in return. We got the Virgin Islands and other concessions in return for a bunch of old destroyers that Britain needed at the early stages of WWII. We now have a "transactional" relationship with the UK, not a "special" relationship.

Re #6 - Nothing like building up our infrastructure to include oil refineries. And I blame both D and R administrations for failing to do so.
