Brussels has shifted into crisis mode, with emergency meetings piling up Saturday and Sunday.

As European leaders raced to respond to the rapidly escalating conflict in the Middle East on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran, the crisis exposed fault lines inside Europe — and across the Atlantic.

. . .

Brussels moved quickly to strike a cautious tone. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned on X that the situation was “perilous,” while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed it was “of the utmost importance” to prevent further escalation. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola also urged restraint.

At the national level, however, Europe’s message was less unified.

    Who the actual fuck do you think you are? Killing children isn’t helping Iran and will never help Iran. What you just said was so fucking colonizer-brained it’s unreal, please point out which school in your neighbourhood you’d want bombed if it meant the city finally implemented better public transit. You’d what, welcome a nuke in D.C. if it meant the fascists were gone? 9/11 was helping the Americans by attacking the capitalists? There would not be a fucking oppressive regime in Iran if the US did not overthrow their democratically elected government half a century ago. How the fuck are you talking about this like you know anything? Some people told you it was bad there and you wat, never even tried to learn why that happened?

    Legality also does not fucking matter, laws are enforced on the vulnerable to the benefit of the powerful. How many invasions do you think the US has conducted legally, exactly?
