"Extremely basic follow-up queations the press are failing to ask" about opening the Strait of Hormuth [View all]

These very logical questions come from GOLIKEHELLMACHINE on bluesky. What actions did the admin take to prepare other countries to take on these responsibilities? What discussions have the admin held with these countries to secure the strait? Who is responsible for coordinating the efforts?

DUers, can you think of any reason that professional journalists with extremely highly paid jobs would not ask such basic questions? Don't you think the answers would shed a lot of light on what is happening here? Gosh, answers to these questions might even be more enlightening than just regurgitating trump's insane demands of our allies to fix his problems.

Just a thought.
