Donald Trump’s declaration at the NATO summit that the U.S. had returned to war with Iran didn’t lead to the usual gasping allies or perplexed officials.
If anything, it cemented Europe’s increasing reliance on itself.
As motorcades sped out of Ankara’s presidential place and down the barricaded streets ringing the Turkish capital on Wednesday, a half-dozen European officials said the ceasefire’s end only stiffened their resolve to be less dependent on the American militarily and stand alone.
“After seeing what’s happening in Iran and Ukraine, we first of all, have to build our own military might, and then everybody will respect us: Americans, Russians, Iranians or Chinese,” said a European official. “The more muscles you have, the less political anger you show.”
The alternative if somebody attacks you is to surrender and/or be defeated.
And usually the losers have to repay the legit war, so your life is going to chango to the worse by a a lot…
War is not a video game or a movie. You are banalizing an extremely complex subject.
I have the impression you don’t know in which world you live.
Nobody is banalizing anything, without an army you are simply a passive subject subjected to external forces.
Palestine, Venezuela, Ukraine, Libia, Syria…
You know why those countries are in chaos and however north korea isn’t?
You should think about the world again
Maybe i don’t, but what i learned in these years of studying history and military history tends to conflict to people’s opinion when it’s based on very strong feelings and not much more.
Please, develop that idea.
I fail to see the connection with our discussion
