So Europe is just like, over, right guys? Like, this whole thing that has been their 'reaction' to such a blatantly criminal war, this is it yeah? They don't return from this, from the last several years frankly, as anything other than the most depressing joke--and one that doesn't even realize its got clown makeup on.
It's incredible to me just reflecting on it, reflecting on how Europe seemed so much more put together to my dumbass American eyes growing up, how they seemed to be an example for better Western leadership, ha ha.
The illusions they've wrapped themselves in, the air of superiority, so on, it's all come down and shown itself for the façade it is just like the West itself can now be seen plainly for the genocidal farce it is. Like Yanis has been saying for years, Europe is finished.

Why there us no sanctions on israel who do the same to palestinians?

It is a legitimate question. Why are you asking me though?
mrdown@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 181d
because you claim that the sanctions are really about human right abuses when we all know it is because Iran refuse to become another puppet state to the west imperialist interests

Because the US and Israel are buddies. Doesn't mean Iran shouldn't be sanctioned by Europe.

Yeah but US just killed the Iranian leadership so at this point sanctions are just hurting the innocent. The leaders are all hiding in bunkers.

The point of sanctions on enemies is to harm the general population

Yeah the EU is just 20 years behind the US descent to fascism. Thiel and Murdoch just started in the US first, now they're also all in in bringing EU politicians..

Because seeing that in fiction somehow didn't make me fed up enough, now it has to happen IRL, by whole nations, nonetheless.

This after the EU has had to deal with Trump sanctioning individual judges and staffers
