You know, maybe the US is doing the right thing. They're bringing every middle power together lowkey. Germany, Poland, UK, France, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, etc are the middle powers, who one day will be powerful enough to overtake the US in military capacity hopefully

They appeared to expect everyone to decide to self vassal. Instead they have competing trade deals, joint projects and co-operation without them. Whoops.

All countries joint forces invade Iran together, just like Eight-Nation Alliance against the Qing Empire of China.

Only Trump is interested in invading Iran, other countries just want to keep the oil flowing

Its kinda pointless. They can't really make the US stop attacking Iran. The only course of action is to try to help the US by opening the strait, even though the US is the aggressor. Their hands are tied.

> The only course of action is to try to help the US by opening the strait The US can clean up their f****** mess by themselves. Nobody will get dragged into this unjust war of aggression. Iran opened the strait already, all the US needed to do is to stop their own blockade as well.

Unfortunately there's no sign yet of the US cleaning up their own mess. Rather it gets worse every week, especially for all the uninvolved countries reliant on oil coming through the strait. No one else WANTS to get involved but at some point they will, whether it's by dismantling the US somehow, or by joining the attack on Iran to force the strait open. Bit of a pickle really.

> or by joining the attack on Iran to force the strait open That won't work. If the US and Israel can't do that, then it can't be done by force. And as long as the US are as unreliable on their word as they are now, diplomatic solutions won't work either, because the US will break the agreements, no matter if other nations are involved or not. Getting involved in any way is just a lose situations for currently uninvolved parties. And Europe can't fix the shit the US are currently still doing, because the US will continuer to constantly break their word. The only ones being able to fix this are the ones who started it.

They could e***** the vessels carrying Iranian oil. I suspect that's the deal Britain and France would aim for, Iran allows some oil out from the gulf nations and in return they also get to sell their oil.

lol. What are they gonna do that US couldn’t with their combined military might? The solution here is diplomatic , not military. EU and India needs to combine and stop Israeli aggression first. They started this war and they are the ones that are adamant to keep this war going.
