Angela Merkel highlights the critical difference between Moscow’s violation of international law by invading Ukraine and Israel’s military actions aimed at countering existential threats from Iran.
Please, everyone who supported the “ReArm Europe” initiative with the 800bn€ yearly to military: THIS IS WHAT SUCH WEAPONS WILL BE USED FOR. They tell you they’re to “fight the evil dictators”, but they’re used to bomb the people standing against Israel and Europe. Europe is a genocide-supporting empire and we should all take a pacifist stance to prevent further stuff like this. Today it’s Trump, tomorrow it’s Meloni/LePen/Orban.
Europe isn’t currently bombing anyone, but it was happy to join the bombing of Yugoslavia, Libya and the invasion of Iraq. In 5 years it will be the Melonis and LePens (and Rheinmetalls) of Europe deciding what to do with the arsenals created in times of social-democracy
You seriously aren’t worried what kind of lobbying Rheinmetall will be able to do with the juicy billions flowing from your pockets to their bank accounts? You’re not worried what will happen if the Donald Trumps of Europe get access to years of billions of expenditure in weapons? Ffs Europe jumped at the occasion of bombing Libya and Yugoslavia and invading Iraq, what makes you think they won’t be doing the same?

Meanwhile, Europe isn’t actually bombing anyone, the US is.
Sorry, what? The EU is arming Israel. What do you think Israel’s been doing with those weapons?
Europe is selling and arming Israel. They do the same in sub sahran Africa. Their hands aren’t clean.

Those three aren’t remotely close to the same thing.
The bombing of yugoslavia was a UN authorized intervention against warcriminals killing civilians.
The bombing of Libya was a UN authorized intervention against a warcriminals killing civilians.
The invasion of Iraq (depending on which one) was a horrible farce led by the US to distract people from internal issues.
The US isn’t bombing anyone, Israel is.
Sure the US is the enabler but it is more of the drug dealer than the drug abuser. Both are bad but in different ways.

This would’ve aged poorly if you’d written it before the US started bombing Iran.
Funny you say that as I learned about the US bombing Iran after writing this
Vietnam, Afghanistan, libya, syria, Iraq and now Iran. Yes the US isn’t bombing anyone, totally.
Don’t forget Yemen, Cambodia, Laos, Korea, Indonesia, Somalia
Germany is not all of Europe, nor are Orban/Meloni/LePen/Nawrocki

I was objecting to something specific in your comment. No need to get off the rails at me
