“diplomatic solution” suggested by those actively importing Jihadi’s and encouraging Islamic protests against Israel in their Capitol cities....while knowing the only people they’re supporting is the Iranian regime, not the people.

EU is cooked.

The UK, Germany, and France should stick to what they do best. Surrendering to the islamos and Africans.

Geez, they have been supplying Iran with nuclear technology and illegal goods forever - their little cash cow arrangement just got terminiated.

Germany, France, Italy provided Iran with their nuclear program and thousands of centrifuges illegally. They got top dollar to fund their socialist states.

Russia also provided a competing non-sanctioned avenue to nuclear technology.

The west is loath to admit they propped up Iran all this time. Business as usual.

the Ruling Elites of three countries who those Rulers have already sold out

sorry, EuroNazis, you got away with trashing your own countries but you won’t be permitted to flush Israel down the same rathole

The same people who have no problem with using Ukraine as a bloody proxy to weaken Russia want Israel to stop military actions against Iran.

“This from the coalition of the willing.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yes, Macron clearly sided with Israel here.

“France reaffirms Israel’s right to defend itself and ensure its security,” Macron said in English, on X.”, standing unequivocally behind Israel’s actions following its strikes on Iran. See the LINK at the end of this post.

What followed from both France and Germany — calls for restraint and a diplomatic resolution — mirrors the kind of balanced rhetoric often employed by Donald Trump regarding Russia’s war on Ukraine. While Trump acknowledges Ukraine’s sovereign right to defend itself, he consistently emphasizes the urgent need for all sides to pursue a peaceful solution. Right?

This is the language of standard diplomacy: affirm the right to self-defense, then pivot to urging de-escalation and dialogue. It’s a familiar pattern — one meant to signal resolve without closing the door to negotiation.

Again: what Germany and France then said about “finding a diplomatic solution” is exactly the way Trump expresses himself concerning Russia’s war against Ukraine.

How come you ignored in your anti-Western comment what your Russian friends had to say about Israel’s attack !??

“We express our profound concern regarding the dangerous escalation of tensions in the Middle East”

“We STRONGLY condemn Israel’s military actions on the night of June 13 in clear violation of the UN Charter & established principles of international law”

I don't have Russian friends. I have friends that care about the problems we have in THIS country and couldn't give a hoot what is happening in Ukraine.

You're the one that lives in a country run by a tyrant that is falling apart but are OBSESSED WITH RUSSIA.

You have Russian Derangement Syndrome. Or you're some war pig profiting somehow from the war in Ukraine.

People like YOU are the biggest threat to the safety of both American and Western citizens.

YOU are hellbent are starting WW III and getting us involved in direct in war with Russia.

Their silence and attacks on Israel since Oct 7 speak volumes about where their sympathies lie.

How many times have they catered to Hamas since Oct 7?

I spent 8.5 years on general officer personal staff; another 8+ in the foreign service. You are correct about the two-step and passable denial.

However, those screaming the loudest this morning are those who just took a massive economic hit to their economies.

Trump is at the top of a 4D chess game with Britian, France, the EU, NATO, and all the other individual enemies.

Macron and Trump has some bro-manace going.
