Australia isn't sending a warship to the Persian Gulf. But if the
government wanted to, is there one to send?
...
Ms Parker argues one of Australia's three newer and better equipped Hobart-class destroyers would be better placed to handle a situation like the Strait of Hormuz.
But she said the opportunity cost of sending it, particularly delaying long-awaited upgrades rCo wasn't worth it.
"Could we technically send a ship? Yes. Would it undermine our current preparedness? Yes," Ms Parker said.
April:
"Australia has officially ruled out sending naval warships to the
Strait of Hormuz to join a U.S.-led coalition, despite pressure from
the Trump administration. The government cited a focus on the
Indo-Pacific region, limited naval capacity, and a preference for a
defensive, non-escalatory stance amid heightened regional conflict.
Key details regarding Australia's decision:
Official Position: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's government confirmed they are not sending a ship, with Transport Minister Catherine King stating they have "no intention" of doing so.
Trump's Response: President Trump expressed surprise and criticized
Australia, alongside NATO allies, for not assisting with the maritime
coalition to secure the key oil route."
Wotta bunch of fuel-starved hypocrites...go on then, ya
tossers...STARVE!
Nitey nite to Oz.

So the Street of Hormuz is open again, but the Iranians decide which
ships have to pay 2 million toll to get through. That's exactly what
they wanted. Reparations for the war damage. "The Art of the Deal", my
ass. Trump lost. After all that yelling, bragging and cursing, he
lost.

It is far from concluded and if driving more Euro-global and AIPAC
demand for oil and LNG to America's crude bonanza is what you Oztards
see as "losing", MOAR MAGA!!!

You're such a stunted thinker.

But as your economy collapses and the cost of food becomes impossible, well...you will beg for OUR relief.

To which we say...wait for it...

laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh

You have a lot of froth dripping down. And half of your post is unintelligible. Either have another drink, or let it go and check
frequently on fox news. Trump changes course hourly anyway, so your
post is pretty stale. Remember, just keep your head up HIS ass, and
you'll be OK!

You have a lot of froth dripping down.

You miss what the real world fuel supply chain is about to do.

And half of your post is unintelligible.

I can't help if you're a moron as well as a troll.

Either have another drink, or let it go and check
frequently on fox news.

Neither one more expresso nor the Murdoch bois' toys will alter any of
this narrative.

Trump changes course hourly anyway, so your
post is pretty stale.

What hasn't "changed course" is all but 4 ships in the strait; you need
to educate yourself, troll:

The April 8, 2026 update on the Strait of Hormuz looks at the ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran and how it impacted shipping in the Strait and Persian Gulf.

Remember, just keep your head

Gain some knowledge before you post again, fool.

Can you align with the GOP in 2026 and not be extreme right-wing?

Are you so stupid with regard to 'Murican politics that you don't know
what a RINO is?



AI Overview
RINO stands for "Republican In Name Only," a pejorative term used in
American politics to describe Republican politicians deemed
insufficiently conservative or disloyal to the party's platform.

Targeted Characteristics: A "RINO" is often accused of acting like a Democrat, ignoring conservative policies, or not being a "team player".
Examples of Targets: Prominent Republicans who have been labeled RINOs include Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Brian Kemp, and various mainstream or anti-Trump lawmakers.
Historical Usage: Similar accusations of insufficient loyalty have been
used within the GOP since the early 1900s, including during the
Theodore Roosevelt era.
