Brussels has shifted into crisis mode, with emergency meetings piling up Saturday and Sunday.

As European leaders raced to respond to the rapidly escalating conflict in the Middle East on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran, the crisis exposed fault lines inside Europe — and across the Atlantic.

. . .

Brussels moved quickly to strike a cautious tone. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned on X that the situation was “perilous,” while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed it was “of the utmost importance” to prevent further escalation. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola also urged restraint.

At the national level, however, Europe’s message was less unified.

    I wonder who’s downvoting you. I live in a vassal state (and am a national of another) and I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that Daddy America, my country, and my now adoptive country have been engaged in nothing but evil, amoral, murderous power-grabbing pretty much forever.

      I’d say that Lemmy is infested with Euronationalist libs, but the real problem is that the world has too many Euronationalist libs.
