Sometimes things are just too funny. Less than 24 hours after President Trump said Europe’s refusal to escort their own oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz might lead him to reconsider staying in NATO, suddenly ships are en route.
Poland is sending two escort ships, Denmark says they are willing, France changes from no to maybe, and NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte says everyone is trying to figure out how to help. Huh, funny that.

Just read a very interesting thread on this whole situation. There’s so much more here than meets the eye.

Worth the read.
Yes just read this thanks! It is both complex and simple. Can VSG split the current one global oil market into pieces that will benefit the US (and red states) and cost Europe and China (and blue states)?
That is a great article! I have sent it to everyone that I know that I think will take the time to read it. Seems like President Trump is doing a great “polka” whether it was intentional or not.
So much going on right now. Here in Alberta, Canada we have our own movie playing out. In the end God wins. Keep the faith!
Thanks for the spoiler alert!
Peeling off Alberta from eastern Canada would fit right into the Hormuz/Venezuela fracture of oil markets.
KTF was our motto in the 7th RRFS. (Radio Research Field Station) while in Thailand!
Dooowd……Thanks for sharing this…. I like the way he thinks….VERY INFORMATIVE INSIDE BASEBALL on “the play”….that might just be IN PLAY…….🤷🏼
Very interesting. President Trump might be demanding Unconditional Surrender from Iran and from Europe.
Fascinating.
Something stuck out to me. The article describes SignalGate as a setback to policy that required a great deal of adjustment.
Somewhere in all the fire-hose news drinking of the last 24 hours, I saw a mention that Joe Kent was in the SignalGate group.
Things that make you go, hhm… 🤔
Very interesting. Imagine a virtual US toll booth through the strait. With Tariffs implemented and a potential toll booth for oil tankers, the elimination of federal income tax seems to be a long-range objective.
Tariffs and tolls = making the government work for its money rather than forceful collection from the citizens. Hmmmm…I like it.
Read the article myself and was getting ready to post it here when I saw your post. A great read that is very well thought out. This is what is great about the Treehouse, the sharing and insights of others who are intelligently informed and knowledgeable. The author’s hypothesis is very feasible. And he is correct, Trump doesn’t show his cards, very wisely. The skills of a master negotiator.
The recent Japan supply agreement supports this this play. Kill the insurance companies strangle hold on shipping. Let Europe and Asia have the middle east. Israel’s gas growth will change the dynamics even more.
We have done our share , the new ME after this war will need to be sustained by the powers involved and dependent.
Now that these idiots turned themselves into Europeistan they are afraid of more violent jihadi attacks. They love our tax money more than they are scared of the “migrants” who are taking over their pathetic countries! They are a bunch of halfwits! 🤷🏻♀️
Europe turned themselves into Arab countries with no oil.
There is nothing more useless than an Arab country that has no oil.
Ships Ahoy!!
The master is at it again!
The “two escort ships” link in the post goes to an X account that says Poland is sending their 2 Aircraft Carriers to the Middle East…
Does Poland have Aircraft Carriers?
Looking at the picture in the X post, pretty sure it is AI..
Or am I late to this particular party?
Overview of Poland’s Aircraft CarriersPoland does not currently operate any aircraft carriers. Historically, Poland has had limited naval capabilities, and its focus has been on smaller vessels and submarines rather than large aircraft carriers.
Historical ContextNotable Historical Ships
Current Naval FocusPoland’s naval strategy emphasizes smaller vessels, submarines, and support ships rather than large aircraft carriers. The Polish Navy is primarily focused on coastal defense and maritime patrol.
ConclusionWhile Poland has a rich naval history, it has not developed or operated any aircraft carriers. The current naval fleet consists of smaller ships and submarines, reflecting the country’s strategic priorities.
They got polish saugage and da polka.😉
They wonder why many of us laugh at them when they thump their chests…
Especially “I met my best friend’s mom in high school and married he…. them” Macron.
They’ve already shown their true colors…

Yet the “two escort ships” link goes to an X account showing a “picture” of the two carriers mentioned, both with obviously AI generated flags….
Has this site been hacked? This is an unheard of breach of honesty!
Where is Great Britain?
Not so great and in decline.
The dustbin of history.
Taking their last gasps before disintegrating.
Slightly to the left of the balance of Europe in the Western Atlantic Ocean.
From 50,000 feet it’s that large mass of non-citizens you see floating just off of France, although it may be difficult to see due to the same situation to the east.
Oops, Eastern Atlantic
All leaders busy hiding from Tommy Robinson
GB has become B.
Starmer was last seen in an all night crying session with Zelenskyy.
Which one offered the first reach around?
Dammit! I wanted to leave NATO! 😂
Civil war! Civil war! I guess there are at least 2 of us here who don’t care if we leave NATO. All they ever did for us was allow us to brag that military action had “support from the international community”. Kind of like when one Congress critter votes for a bill sponsored by the other side and the sponsors all crow “bipartisan support”. It wasn’t worth the cost we paid for the bragging.
What they haven’t told you is that it’s the S.S. Minnow.
Two hours lay-terre. I miss Sponge Bob
Weasels.
A conservative Brit said the English better help, bc if conservatives prevail (Restore Britain?), they might need our military to help w mass deportations.
There has never been a better or more effective POTUS in my lifetime. We are witnessing history in the making…
Exhausting the US military is being accomplished in more than one way:
“US Carrier Pulling Back From Iran Operations To Crete Port After Suffering Fire”
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-carrier-pulling-back-iran-operations-crete-port-after-suffering-fire
Hard facts: Repairing this will not happen quickly. Replacing munitions and interceptors will not happen fast enough.
Some suggest exhausting the US military is the goal of veiled entities controlling the US government, steering the US / aligned nations down.
Please… The US military is not exhausted, it will never be exhausted; neither of munitions or people. Zero Hedge is a deeply anti-US Military rag that does no vetting of facts before print. No different than the rest of the corrupt media.
Exhausting listening to the world is collapsing crowd.
Ships? How about putting those fighting age immigrants back on their rubber boats to do the escorting?
Europe doesn’t deserve us…..they are sooooooo pathetic!
And The Donald does it again. They still don’t understand the strategy.
