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.
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
Merz is a former Black Rock manager (a job that made him a millionaire) and currently is gutting as much climate and social policy as he can get away with. He would love to be the German Trump.
Cynical times indeed
