France, Germany, the US, and UK are all issuing official statements in full support of Israel's attack, and the US is moving some naval vessels to the ME to defend its little brother. Only China and Russia are going to oppose them on the UN security council.
How's it going "enlightened democracies"?
None of them want Iran to have nuclear weapons. They are probably fine with Israel doing the dirty work.
Countries allowed to have nuclear weapons (or energy) check:
Countries allowed to have nukes:
Don't forget China, India, and Pakistan all have nukes.
We all know which countries are the real threat to peace and prosperity.
"If we support Israel with their very own holocaust we'll be even for what we did right?"
Two Holocausts don't make a right.
germany, consistently on the side of genocide.
The GDR (East Germany) formally recognized the state of Palestine and never had diplomatic relations with Israel. They also had military coordination with the PLO and supplied arms to Syria during the October 1973 war
The bad guys won Cold War I, but I doubt they’ll win Cold War II.
Living in germany and having a brain is not nice atm.
Politicians when they were asked much earlier (last year?) about unprovoked Israeli attacks on Iran:
"Does Israel have a right to defend itself?"
"Yes"
"Does every country have a right to defend themselves?"
"Yes"
"Does Iran have a right to defend itself?"
"This is a very complex issue, and Israel has a right to defend itself"
If I were from the global South I'd pretend Western countries don't even exist and just work with China, which I'm glad to say it looks like Africa is doing just that. Africa has had some awesome leaders honestly (who France and America are desperately trying to overthrow).
it's like ok ok ok european gov'ts don't care about genocide because they're bloodthirsty lunatics ok ok ok whatever but ok
but ffs what about their finances/economy? germany/others are already fucked because they got cut off from russian gas. imagine iran shuts down the strait of hormuz? europe is going to be fucked
how they are not screaming for jewish supremacists to fuck off is beyond me.
and all of this is only to further get europe addicted to US shale. it's all so apparent and insane how do these idiots in power not see this?
honestly, european jews were always a stand-in for muslims (it's more complicated than that) to christian europeans, so i guess now that they can watch the wholesale slaughter of actual muslims, that base urge is satisfied
It's why it's called antisemitism.
Fuck Germany for this and fuck Israel.
Iran is illegally building a nuclear weapon for illegal self defense and Israel is doing a Jack Bauer to stop them.
Obviously, Germany - a country with a long and storied history of liberal democratic values and anti-war principles - will come down on the right side of this conflict. There's no way they'd just align with a Middle Eastern Imperialist power looking to dominate and ethically cleanse a region of its native people.
In 2023, Germany said: “Confronted with an openly aggressive Russia, the importance of nuclear deterrence has increased for many states, including for [Germany].
Germany is one of five NATO members to host US nuclear weapons on its territory as part of a nuclear-sharing agreement. The German air force is assigned approximately 15 B61 nuclear bombs, which are deployed at the Büchel air base.
In 2016, Germany voted against the UN General Assembly resolution that established the formal mandate for states to commence negotiations on “a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination”.
Germany: Nuclear weapons are good actually
Also Germany: Ban nuclear power return to burning coal
Guess they don't like nuclear if it doesn't involve killing people
(West) Germany never stopped being in favour of killing people.
Israel has nukes - what about that Non-proliferation treaty Germany?
Albert Einstein was 100% correct. I am ashamed of the politicians in Germany who fail to learn the lessons from WWII.
Implying they ever had the plot to begin with
Europe
