True but… countries have own agency, the idea that the US can influence everything and everyone as it pleases is very naive.

I doubt most people decide their vote based on foreign wars. Only enough people radicalize to weaken center left parties and ensure that the right will go on winning most elections in Europe. Next will be Spain.

I don’t forget the radicalized shouting “genocidal Kamala”, they brought us here.

What influence does the EU parliament have on any of both conflicts? Zero. It’s a debate society out there .

Why are they even allowed to participate!?

These pointless vehicles will never be taxed enough

100%

Sanchez on the other hand depends on support from far-left parties to keep in power and that’s his main motivation. His words in any case appease those parties without any other consequence in the conflict… it’s a bit like not participating in Eurovision, but at the same time discreetly keep trade with Israel. Symbols to appease puppets.

“support for regional proxies”, Iran is directly responsible for the massacre of October 7th and all attacks by Hezbollah on Israel. Israel is counter attacking its main enemy.

I am. But sometimes only a war can stop a war, and Iran had been launching several…

No, but the social-democrats aligning with Islamic fascists opens the way for Christian-democrats to align with Christian-fascists. Save this comment till the next Spanish election.

In the end of the day, metrics on quality of life are much more relevant than GDP. For years we heard about the decline of the Japanese economy, it continues however to have indisputably the best quality of life in all of Asia.

You replied to my comment on the Spanish government with “dying for Israeli policy” when no European troops are involved in this so far and you accuse me of making false equivalences and conflation?

Are you now talking about US politics? That was not my point, at all. Again, from an European perspective there’s not reason to get too involved, including no reason to “slam the attack”, as this can very much serve our own interests and it’s in our best interest that the Iranian regimes falls to the ground.

And it did, thousands of Iranians died for it just in recent months.

Hezbollah is attacking Cyprus, Iranian drones kill Ukrainians everyday, opposition in Iran is murdered by the thousands… why is defeating such an aggressive fascist regime an exclusively Israeli goal? It is not.

How could anyone have predicted this!?

Pedro Sanchez hostage of the far-left to keep in power, this won’t end up well. All these concessions to the far-left will only serve to legitimate the center-right making a future coalition with the far-right.

This is in no way a demonstration of courage, it only exposes the weakness of the current Spanish government.

A member state (Cyprus) was attacked by Iranian drones most likely sent by Iranian proxy Hezbollah out of Lebanon.

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.

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.

Why should Europe care for Iran? Nobody cared when Russia attacked Ukraine with Iranian support.

The dates are not clear on the article, but it’s possible that the birth was even pre Trump… the couple was touring, they’re musicians.
