According to Reuters, citing three European diplomats, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has told his counterparts in NATO member states that U.S. President Donald J. Trump is looking for commitments to a Strait of Hormuz framework within days. One diplomat said “We note the frustration in Washington, but they did not consult allies either before or after starting this war.”

Alex Jones: 5-6 times a day, it's, 'Oh, we won, it's over. No, it's gonna go on forever. I'll never let them have the Strait. Yes, we're giving up the Strait. I'm getting out of NATO. We're staying in NATO.' When you know people in early dementia, that is exactly what they do. pic.twitter.com/yJJGehCW2e
