For four and a half decades, Western politicians have hesitated to take effective action against this terrorist state, which murders its own people and destabilizes open societies. It was in our European and democratic interest that America and Israel have finally taken joint action to weaken the Iranian regime. Whether the goal is regime change, the removal of 400 kilograms of enriched uranium, simply reducing the hydra-like network of the mullah elite, accelerating an overthrow through popular revolt, or a combination of all these elements — I cannot judge. Some say a first important objective has already been achieved. Iran has been set back by years. We have gained at least one thing: time.
Now Europe needs to stand with the U.S. to make use of it.
This is a TRULY TERRIFYING way to see the world. The amount of unsourced hyperbolic claims casually asserted in this article is dizzying and headache inducing.
Here is a thought though maybe the Iran War isn’t Europe’s war because the Iran War was launched illegally by the US (without domestic approval of any kind, popular or structural) and Israel and has already involved a horrifying number of war crimes committed by the US and Israel while the reasons for launching the war given by the US and Israel fall apart into pieces the second they are examined closer and follow up questions are asked.
The idea that Europe MUST join the Iran War sooner or later or suffer the consequenes later is INCREDIBLY dangerous. Joining the Iran War will further destabilize international markets, accelerate World War 3, and make those European countries a target of angry people who have had their families murdered for no reason, like Israel and the US has just insisted on making themselves into, much to my rage as someone living in the US who is now materially more in danger than before this stupid illegal war.
Trump’s Iran war is not Europe’s war the same way that water leak in your upstairs neighbor’s apartment is not your leak: it’s factually true but you still get wet, and at some point you’re gonna have to take matters into your own hands because your neighbor is fucking stupid.
Yes but this article is suggesting you need to help your upstairs neighbor solve the leak by agreeing to go over to the apartment building across the street with them and smash up ALL the water lines with sledgehammers so that the water leak never happens in your upstair’s neighbors apartment ever again.
In short, the correct response to the crazed neighbor at your door with a sledgehammer screaming to come help stop the Axis Of Evil as they shove a sledgehammer into your arms and point angrily for some reason at the apartment block across the street… is to remove the sledgehammer from your neighbors hands, say “You are insane” and close the door.
remove the sledgehammer from your neighbors hands, say “You are insane” and close the door.
So you’re suggesting France, Germany, Spain… rein in the United States to stop the madness?
I’ll get the popcorn.
I am not holding my breath, but yes of course I do?
Spain is already making significant moves to do so?
I am from the US I expect the US and Israel to stop this illegal, catastrophic, evil war most of all, the responsibility is obviously on our shoulders most but also yes I do gleefully spit in the face of Europe smugly sitting there and doing fucking barely nothing to stop literally World War 3.
If I could I would scream to the entirety of Europe with an annoying megaphone -Wake up you fucking idiots!!! cue annoying megaphone notice sound The US and Israel, ESPECIALLY under their current governments, are completely out of control and will not stop spreading violence until they are physically stopped by a coalition of powerful nations limiting the amount of war and destruction the US and Israel can physically start.
This is me saying this as a US citizen who understands US politics deeply, STOP SUPPORTING MY COUNTRIES PATH TO WORLD WAR 3 NOW.
Europe sticking to decorum and helping other allies the way they are supposed to because the rules are the rules is literally a catastrophic choice right now.
Politico is a crap news source. It is owned by the ultra right springer group. Don’t read or reproduce it.
For the record I don’t, that is why I linked an example of it to explain why other people shouldn’t either.
