        Europe and Nato will show them the immense power of diplomacy by putting pressure on both America and Iran to stop this fight which is going too far. Pressure them maybe together with China and south Asia into coming to a solution. Even that Obama deal was better…

          Meh, Europe can’t even agree on sanctioning Israel for blatant violation of international law. No way they’re going to denounce and sanction Trump.

            No. The ones who try to mix Israel topics into everything are the ones who don’t understand things.

      Kinda depends on whether this is all Putin weakening Europe “for some reason”.

      We better get our shit sorted militarily fast. A joint EU force would be pretty nice to have.
