President Lee Says Korea Will Coordinate with India to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz
All I see is a lot of talk with no plan of action on what these countries plan to do to open the Strait of Hormuz other than wait for the U.S. to open it for them:
President Lee Jae Myung stressed the need for Korea and India to work together to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in an interview published Monday, also highlighting the need for joint efforts to stabilize global supply chains.
In a written interview with The Times of India, held before his summit talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he noted that the effective closure of the critical shipping route due to the prolonged conflict between the United States and Iran has been driving up global oil prices while also disrupting supply chains for key industrial materials.
“Both the Republic of Korea and India depend on the Middle East for a significant share of their energy supplies, including crude oil and natural gas. Accordingly, ensuring the security of critical maritime routes is essential to the safety of our peoples and the very survival of our nations,” Lee said, referring to Korea by its official name.

What do you suggest all these countries do? Why isn’t the US navy sailing to the Strait of Hormuz and start escorting the oil tankers?
Why not the US navy?
Shouldn’t you be blaming your failures on your own US navy, instead of other countries?
“What do you suggest all these countries do?”
Buy oil from America, the world’s largest oil exporter.
“Why isn’t the US navy sailing to the Strait of Hormuz and start escorting the oil tankers?”
Doesn’t sound like a job for America, the world’s largest oil exporter.
“Why not the US navy?”
The navy of America, the world’s largest oil exporter?
“Shouldn’t you be blaming your failures on your own US navy, instead of other countries?”
It is not failure to be America, the world’s largest oil exporter.
Since Chickenhead failed to answer my question.
I’ll answer why the US navy won’t escort the tankers through the Hormuz Strait, and is parked 1000 miles away.
Because they are Chickenshits.
“Since Chickenhead failed to answer my question.”
I answered your question. It just wasn’t the answer you wanted so you ignored it.
“I’ll answer why the US navy won’t escort the tankers through the Hormuz Strait, and is parked 1000 miles away.
Because they are Chickenshits.”
Ha! Maybe. No since putting oneself at risk for someone else’s problem that they won’t deal with themselves.
You still fail to grasp what America First means. Everyone is so used to pushing their own pìssant nationalism while expecting America to sacrifice, that they find it shocking, even horrifying, when America starts looking out for its own best interests.
China’s affordable oil supply is not America’s problem.
Europe’s further increased energy cost that already makes their industry uncompetitive is not America’s problem.
Russia’s increased oil sales so they can fund more Ukraine beatdown so Europe can buy more American weapons with money they don’t have to prolong the agony is not America’s problem.
Iran’s nuclear weapon program is somewhat America’s problem. It has been stopped and obvious to the people who fly B2 stealth bombers if restarted.
But it would be nice to have the enriched uranium they already have and maybe some regime change.
So America will keep up the live fire excercise indefinitely. Opening the Straits is something to talk about but it isn’t a real demand…
…as it is not America’s problem.
Meanwhile, America is the world’s largest exporter of oil.
