German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said today: "We did not start this war. What do the whole world, and Trump, expect from just a few European frigates in the Strait of Hormuz? Even the powerful US Navy cannot handle it alone. This is not our war; we did not start it."
Comment: Germany repeatedly emphasizes that "it's not a war we started, it's not our war," which is both to clarify the boundaries of responsibility and reflect Europe's true attitude of not wanting to be tied to the US's Middle East war chariot again. It indicates that Trump's attempt to form a convoy alliance will face serious setbacks, and the strategic differences between the US and Europe in the Middle East have been fully exposed.
