“The official line pursued by the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia, who are our allies in many ways, is almost one that would lead us to war,” Macron was quoted as having told reporters.

The line being taken was “a deliberate strategy for some,” he said, while adding that France wanted to maintain some balance.

“Otherwise, we end up surreptitiously rebuilding an ‘axis of evil’,” he said, referring to a comment by former U.S. President George W. Bush, who once used that term to describe countries including Iran, Iraq and North Korea.

France couldn’t afford a war against a cub scout with a BB gun.

Telling the truth is an act of war. If only Japan hadn’t made that comment about how mean Americans were to the Indians! If only Hitler hadn’t said that the Polish ambassador had bad breath.

We must have been prepping articles at the same time. If I had seen yours was here I wouldn’t have posted mine since it’s basically the same info from a different source. Sorry.

If there were war, the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia could overtly help the protesters, and the Ayatollahs would be so busy they wouldn’t have time to fire a shot in our direction, or even take Saudi embassy workers hostage.

Of course. Because Americans don’t bomb buses over that. So the more you misbehave, the better it pays, ‘cause everyone’s afraid to start with you.

Worse than that, France has been aiding and abetting Iran for years. And Macron has continued that.

If it were not for French support of the radical Ayatollah that took over Iran in 1979, the current problem would not exist

France is responsible directly for the scum leading Iran

France is a world enemy

Given Iran's acts of war, not just their comments, against Israel, the United States and Saudi Arabia I'd suggest the French President's anti-Israel and anti-US bias is showing.
