The joint statement from the E3 — France, Germany, and the United Kingdom — is a master class in evasion. “We did not participate in these strikes, but are in close contact with our international partners, including the United States and Israel,” they declared. The text also lists all the references and rationalizations used by Iran hawks — “nuclear program, ballistic missile program, regional destabilization and repression against its own people.”
Not a single reference to the international law that explicitly prohibits aggression. It is particularly Orwellian that the European leaders “urge the Iranian leadership to seek a negotiated solution,” when Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was literally doing exactly that the day earlier in Geneva.
Russia attacks Ukraine: “how dare they not follow intl law!”
US attacks Iran: “well done getting rid of that bully!”Sure there is loads of difference between Ukraine and Iran, but the EU not calling the aggressors out right now is setting a very deadly precedent.
That was the last vote for peace in Ukraine in the UN:
Iran was for a longer war. Even worse most of the more powerful countries abstained. That was including the US, China, India, Brazil and Indonesia.
Iran sucks. Still shouldn’t be illegally attacked in violation of the UN Charter.
One might argue that is one of the primary strategic goals of this attack, to with vigor fracture any kind of foreign policy unity Europe could develop with regards to Israel, The US or Russia, thus allowing domestic fuckery with rightwing movements within specific European countries to individually derail efforts to mitigate the behavior of Russia, Israel and the US.
If things get more ethical than might makes right than Russia, Israel and the US stand to lose massively in the geopolitical sphere, this is an attempt to shatter these ideas in our minds so that military empires can get back to killing without having to even bother trying to justify it.
Macron is a spineless bootlicker, don’t know bout the others but clearly the German government never seems to go against netanyahu’s decisions. UK doesn’t institutionnaly belong to Europe but the government seems to abide by netanyahu’s words too
As a rookie complotist i’d say this demonstrates the power of the files netanyahu has on all the western leaders, thanks to Epstein or not.
As a human being, I just witness the last shards of the UN attempt to push forward an international order be completely dispersed
Cynical times indeed
Why should Europe care for Iran? Nobody cared when Russia attacked Ukraine with Iranian support.
You don’t have to care about the victim of an illegal war of aggression. You just have to be against illegal wars of aggression.
I am. But sometimes only a war can stop a war, and Iran had been launching several…
Your claim is not uncontroversially factual. I am not going to argue history with you, only say this: if that’s the case, any party wanting to initiate war, should get a Security Council resolution under Article 42. Without that, sit the fuck down.

It wouldn’t have changed much. At this stage Europe is totally vassalized and can’t do anything meaningful.
Why would Europe defend a country that’s being helping Russia to attack us? We’re not suicidal. Good that those religious fascists are gone.
Not to defend Iran, but to be neutral. China and India are also helping Russia buying their goods, this doesn’t mean that we should try to be in good therms with them.
With the JCPOA treaty, we were building a good relationship with Iran, until the US pulled out for no reason in 2018 and the vassalized EU followed shortly.
Ukrainians die every day victims of Iranian drones. Iran sponsors terrorism against Europeans through Russia, Hamas, Hezbollah etc… let them rotten. This is not our war, but this might end up being good for us. We owe them nothing.
Partners? Fuck they ain’t
