NATO is its constituent countries, not Rutte.

    He is the goddamn secretary general of Nato, Nato members did not condemn his statement . They voted for this fool to be in the position. Nato talks about opening the straight of Hormoz yet they are not negotiating with Iran and are not putting pressure on them . They are involved in non combatant support to the war

    I don't even know what you think your point is. The reason nobody else can intervene here even if they want to is that Trump hasn't given other countries any political cover. Didn't consult anyone, and has expressed interest in leaving once the straight is open which leaves allies holding the bag. Even those who want to bomb Iran can't touch this because it's political suicide.
