These are the top comments, and there is many more. I thought this is about Europe. Is this community (sp.?) being brigaded?

    EU makes full sanctions -> bans all ships carrying military and dual use goods from entering ports -> Option A Israel stops. Option B, EU countries agree on a military mission to force an aid corridor into Gaza by Sea. If Israel attacks, Nato article 5.

    The idea that Israel would hold back and the US willing to double down and ramp up support and Israel somehow listening to the EU while doing the exact opposite of what is demanded is absurd. If the EU would get its shit together, the US and Israel would stand alone. The EU could get access to the surrounding countries and exert pressure to block US influence. Then the US would have to decide to go to WW3 against the EU to protect Israel? This wont happen.

    This is appeasement nonsense. And it is in no way representing “adult” politics. Appeasement didnt work with South Africa. Appeasement didnt work before. Appeasement doesn’t work with Russia. Appeasement never works with fascists. The only thing that stops them is to take away any support they have.

    And time is running out. We are looking at hundreds of thousands if not millions of people being genocided by starvation this year. There is nothing “adult” about watching a crime and not doing anything to stop it.

      The whole scenario relies on the EU going actively hostile against the US. That’s why nothing about it is viable.

      The whole reason why it’s still a fucking clusterfuck is because intervention isn’t viable because US evangelicals.
