Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

This is not news? There's nothing in that statement that says they're joining the war, just that they're in the "prepratory planning"phase to ensure "freedom of navigation" in Hormuz. They are not going to send ships to get blown up during the war, and nothing in the statement is inconsistent with France's position that they'll "protect" the strait after the ceasation of hostilities. The euros have no existential "problem" with the war and were always going to defend Iran for defending itself, but nothing in that vague euro-speak statement to my mind implies any kind of military intervention in the war.
It seems like the reason they keep pumping out these statements is that they work on a lot of people, I keep seeing them reposted in left spaces with people credulously taking them seriously.
Americans can't read
Most of the EU is inside iranian missile range. So maybe we'll see rammstein burn.
Rammstein having a reputation for getting set on fire

Fuck Euroids
I hate that the EU keeps playing willing bag holder for the outcomes of US aggression.
perhaps things would be different if they didn't also rely on the same hegemonic 'rules based international order' for extraction of the global south's resources, but for now they do. if anything, the west's political classes are inwardly enthused at this fresh infusion of material for the load bearing pillar of their domestic politics, pointing at the us and saying 'i'm sorry we can't materially improve anything for you but at least we're not like the americans!'
This seems pretty bad for European industry but I guess everyone with money has investments in the US.
certainly economically it's not great in the short term and probably not over the long term either if 
current trends continue but in their minds anyway they are playing the long game of betting on the continued existence of western hegemony and their privileged place in it because in their present frame of mind it's the only option they have. the tenders of 'the garden' don't see themselves collabing with venezuela and ghana to solve problems, they see themselves as dictating terms, and they don't have the weight to do that without their violent idiot child and its pet rabid bulldog running rampant all over the place. it's the same implicit threat that has always existed behind the 'rules based order', trump just takes the implicit and makes it explicit as a matter of course.
I think they (EU politicians with very few exceptions) are a bunch of cowards, maybe rightfully so, too scared to take any political position other than complacency with the US.
Weird, all the lemmitors were convinced that the "bridge had been burnt" and that the higher minded superior Euros were not just vassals to America. What happened?
Europeans are even more white supremacist than the US, combined with being totally servile and pampered dogs. No question they'd lick the boot of American imperialism if the treats train is threatened. Fuck Europe. Bunch of Nazis. As for Japan I mean they're just unbelievably cucked wannabe Nazis, only failing because they're simply not white enough
Like I said before, the piggies will fall in line no matter what. To liberals, the extermination of global south nations is a fair price to pay for their bloated and rotting system.
These fuckers need to die already
break them
crush them
ruin them
teear them apart and wathc themsc ream
That's the plot of dungeon crawler carl
They probably struck a deal with the orange clown. They’ll help the clown at Hormuz, the clown will help Ukraine wrap up the war with Russia
Europe does not want the war with Russia to "wrap up". They've done everything in their power to keep it going.
Wrapping up the war would involve giving Russia the Donbas territory and Crimea.
How does Trump "help Ukraine wrap up the war with Russia?" Other than by conceding to Russian demands?
Other than by conceding to Russian demands?
I think it'll basically be this, but he'll ask Russia to give symbolic seats to Euro vassals at the negotiating table so they can feel relevant and involved. They've been begging to be included so as to appear important.
they should join the war on iran on the side of iran
Oh no, the chihuahuas are barking again
watch out, i've heard theyve managed to develop new weapons powered by pedophiilia
Germany about find out what "never again" really means...
Germany has been cheering the Gaza genocide for years, so that ‘never again’-thing wasn’t too serious to begin with
That doesn't bode well for Iran. Is there anything they can do about that?
It's not good for Iran but it doesn't change the scales too much. These countries don't have the stomach for this kind of warfare nor the materiel to pursue it.
I can imagine them gathering their whole populations in a magic circle to performa sacrificial ritual for the sake of Israel and the US. They have no self preservation, just a desire for racism, genocide, and destruction.
What does Germany add to the table that makes it worse than america?
