Oddly, I do not see a list of those 20 countries in the cited article.

More from the cited article ...

... "We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning," they said in a joint statement. ...

@#2 ... our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts ...

What does that mean?

It does mention the UAE and Bahrain. Qatar might think that Bribe Force One was enough.

"We call for an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations," the countries added

LOLO

Magat scum truly are despicable.

As much as NATO's Article V.

@#6 ... As much as NATO's Article V. ...

Yeah, but, NATO's Article 5 is about defense, not offense.

Pres Trump is begging for help in his unprovoked war with Iran. But Pres trump is on the offense here.

Pres Trump attacked. The United States was not attacked.

So, from what I see, NATO's Article 6 does not apply.

Yep, My point was more they will contribute "as they see fit". Might be a lot. Might be nothing.

No disagreement intended.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Gee, maybe if the fat idiot asked them BEFORE he dropped bombs. Face it, PEDO DONNIE is a fucking imbecile

Yeah, there is that aspect as well.

Pres Trump did not ask our allies to board his plane when he started on his Iran trip, but he now expects our allies to be present on the plane as he is trying to land it?

He seems not to care. It seems that he plans to just walk away to take on Cuba, and let the Iran gig work itself out.

...
[Verse 1]
I know you're bitter, but why, why, why?
Don't you know that two wrongs don't make a right?
It's not that simple, no
It's not that simple

[Chorus]
But everybody's trying to figure it out
Everybody's trying to work it on out
Everybody's trying to figure it out
Everybody's trying to work it on out
