The war started with Iran by the United States and Israel has left the European far right divided and doubtful...
In the first days of the war, the loudest silence came from Hungary's ruling party... Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has praised Trump as a “peacemaker” for his role in the war in Gaza, neither condemned nor endorsed the attacks on Iran.
Orbán, who is campaigning for re-election on a “pro-peace narrative” and accuses the EU of fuelling the war in Ukraine by supporting Kyiv with money and weapons, has since resolved the dissonance by saying in an interview with Hungary’s ATV that bombing Iran is not a fresh war, but rather the "final elimination and closure of a previous, unresolved focal point”.
The same problem has affected the Italian League...
“We always prefer the diplomatic way”, the League’s head of delegation in the European Parliament Paolo Borchia told Euronews...
“The renewed destabilisation of the Middle East is not in Germany’s interest and must be brought to an end”, said Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla...
Consequences for energy and migration are top of the list also for the far-right Flemish Interest party, which raised the issue in a debate in the Belgian Parliament, recalling the knock-on effects of Western countries' interventions in Libya and Syria.
Czechia's ruling ANO party is having similar doubts. According to internal sources, on one side, they do not want to criticise Trump; on the other, they are not keen on blindly following the US and Israel, and especially not into a conflict that could drive up energy costs, a major issue in the country.
The most critical voice comes from the French National Rally (RN), whose leaders Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella had already questioned US raids on Venezuela...

Nobody cares about Europe.
They’re dead.
Except TDSers...
Everybody cares about Europe.
If I had a nickel for every time I heard caterwauling about “the west” (even though generally speaking the U.S. was founded as a rejection of Europe) and/or “tradition” I’d be very wealthy.
Yup.
Assuming Trump pulls a win negotiating with whoever is left in Iran for control of the Straight of Hormuz, Europe actually comes out far more economically volnerable.
USA exports oil, controls Venezuela production, and either strangles Middle East oil, or controls it.
Whoever wrote that must have been born yesterday ... or he's a liar.
Try organ grinding, Vincenzo, you're not cut out for journalism or propaganda.
What ‘far-right’?
On the contrary, many conservative Americans of European heritage care deeply about the future of that continent.
Europe has been a center of Christendom, and has done much to advance world civilization.
Yes, some people in the U.S., mostly of non-European origin, have a long-simmering hatred Europe. They wish to stir hatred against Europe.
Why the hatred? Perhaps a mix of jealousy and grievances over perceived historical injustices.
Nevertheless, I say...
America First. But Europa Second.
Has been is the correct tense. They are, at best, a mere shell of their former selves and no longer reliable allies. Their wounds are self inflicted and they may never recover as Islam rises in their midst.
I care about Europe's future, even if it does seem sick at the moment.
I can understand their concerns. The Gaia Worshipers have made them extremely dependent on Middle Eastern energy and the globalists have shown they’ll gladly let in hordes of even the worst scum on earth.
How could you not be very worried about this if you’re in Europe?
The opening sentence is a lie.
Iran has been at war with the United States for 47 years.
To the European press “far right” means anyone who believes in borders and who believes that traditional European culture is superior to Pakistani or Somali culture.
Correction: Iran has been at war with the entire civilized world for 47 years.
Yes, you are correct!
These nationalist, traditionalist parties represent a rejection of the leftist, leftist of center, and centrist parties that are moving Europe into an Agenda 2030 world. However, we are also dealing with countries that have “throne and altar” traditions, not the classical liberal and individualist roots of our country. European conservatism differs from ours in that respect.
The epicenter of the civilization war is happening right now, in Europe, especially in the UK.
The battle for Christendom is now. It is far from over. I’d argue it is just getting started.
——epicenter of the civilization——
You apparently do not know about China
That’s not really true.
The UK wouldn’t have the refugee problem it’s currently got if the far right in the UK and the far left hadn’t both convinced us to leave the EU.
Within the EU we Brits had rules already in place to repatriate illegals, or deport them to the first country they came through (usually eastern Europe and the Mediterranian countries).
As soon as we left the EU, those rules got tore up and now we don’t just have the French cheerfully ignoring boatloads full of illegals setting off for Kent, they actively assist those immigrants while pocketing a big wodge of British money that we’re paying them supposedly to STOP those boats setting off in the first place.
Also, it was the centrist and center-right in British politics (including even under Jack Straw, in Blair’s Labour government) who were very forceful about controlling mass migration at the European table. We were on the same side as Poland and other countries, trying to push back on Schengen and open borders.
With the UK out of Europe, the Right lost a significant voice of reason and the technocrats in Brussels, Paris and Berlin were able to bulldoze the smaller countries.
And those technocrats don’t deserve to be called Left or Right in either a Euro context or an American context. They are entirely without a political ethos in either direction.
They are something else entirely - a technocratic class that exists entirely to justify its own existence.
I saw this first hand in the 90s - I regularly dealt with politicians “supposedly” from the political Left, and from the political Right. If you put them in the same closed room they’d be chortling with each other as best buddies.
The side of the fence they stood on was simply about a branding exercise. If Labour offered to fund their electoral campaign they stood under a red rosette; if the Tories offered to do it, they stood under the freedom torch logo.
Some of the people in the Reform party have been members of more than two major political parties, on both sides of the fake spectrum. It’s got nothing to do with allegiances or ideology; it’s naked opportunism.
That is what the Uniparty in the UK looks like. It’s the idea that Labour doesn’t actually stand for anything more complicated than “no matter how unpopular they are, processes must be followed”, and the Conservatives don’t stand for anything more complicated than “no matter how unpopular it is, the rule of law must be followed”.
On substantial issues like defense of the realm, border security etc., the two parties are practically indistinguishable in describing the problems, they only diverge on how to solve the problems (and that’s because the party in power has a different set of challenges to the one in opposition). Creating a ridiculous ping-pong game.
The Tories slashed the funding for both over the 14 years they were in power, and supported the hardest possible Brexit - both of which have created a massive problem for ANY party that followed. Labour know they can’t fix the problem so they blame the Tories and hide behind “process”.
If Reform was in power they’d be doing the exact same thing with an extra veneer of amateurishness. We already know that because in Kent, that’s what’s happened. They even have leaders who won local elections, then bitched about the state of everything, and then gave up saying it was too hard and they wish they hadn’t bothered.
