MODERATORS
 

Brussels has shifted into crisis mode, with emergency meetings piling up Saturday and Sunday.

As European leaders raced to respond to the rapidly escalating conflict in the Middle East on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran, the crisis exposed fault lines inside Europe — and across the Atlantic.

. . .

Brussels moved quickly to strike a cautious tone. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned on X that the situation was “perilous,” while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed it was “of the utmost importance” to prevent further escalation. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola also urged restraint.

At the national level, however, Europe’s message was less unified.

Good lord. You guys are angry.

I do not want to make it worse, but I truly feel you do not understand. Or you have not lived a hard life, for which I'm somewhat jealous.

So yes, the regime was a result of the west in the first place. And it was not going to be pretty to fix it. And Trump is not doing this to fix it, but to ... well .. I do not know, take people's minds off of the Epstein files? Make money? I don't know, but I hate him for it.

And I'm not "trading" a school for "better roads" are you mental (This one is from another poster btw, @orioler25@lemmy.world )? Everybody would choose the lesser of two evils. So 80 schoolchildren or 10000's of them? If you HAD to choose? And these people do, they have to choose, and they've been forced to make these and other hard choices for decades now. And you come along and DARE to say what is happening now is bad? Where where you the past decades?

I have no love for the capitalists, for the colonizers, for Israel, USA, EU. I do however love people. And the fact these people have had to make real politik like choices? Makes me sad. I see the truth of it though. And I hope you guys will as well some day.

"Realpolitik choices make me support the genocidal Zionist regime and the US in their attempt to destroy Iranian sovereignty to turn Iran into another Iraq, Syria or Libya"

Hell no. Again, multiple things can be true at once. USA is bad. Komeini is bad. At this moment, many people are glad at least one of them is gone.

You've shown your true colours. Regardless, the antizionist axis of resistance will defeat the empire's genocidal forces, they're already being humilliated. Cope.

[–] orioler25@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Totally, yeah dude, "invite the genocidal imperialists in to aid in the revolution" is the mentality of a person who has experienced any level of oppression. You've had a very hard life, I'm sure, typical Euro Lib who thinks having to do anything is adversity. You had to study for your exams? That's about the same as having your entire life bombed into oblivion, or at the very least you know as well as someone who did experience that because you watched a video.

Gaslighting language and ignorance, you really are a bad person.

I hope you will awaken from the Maga cult some day. You are currently an unpleasant person the way you attack. Be better.

The enemy of my enemy is something the people in Iran currently feel about the US and Israel. Never said they are or should glad with the USA or Israel. But currently, they are happy there is an end to the dictatorship they had to endure. Let's hope they do not get a new one.
