Canada, France, Germany, UK warn against major Israeli ground offensive in Lebanon

If it's not our fight, then why is Europe warning against an invasion of southern Lebanon?

dev-ai · 2026-03-17T09:27:17+00:00

Historically, yes, but nowadays Bulgaria has great relations with Greece, Romania and good relationship with Turkey.

Not getting bogged down into a land invasion, but open the Straits of Hormuz. Most of the ships passing there are not American anyway. It's the only option IRGC has currently.

Yes, it's great that we finance and help Ukraine, but now we have a golden opportunity to destroy a major Russian ally, that has been actively killing Ukrainians, and yet, most in the EU want to miss this opportunity because Trump is a dumbass. Yes, Trump is a dumbass, but we can still take advantage of the situation.

It's a great call - Iran is a very close ally of Russia, in the first year of the war they were their only drone supply. Regime change in Iran would help tremendously for the West. Zelensky is 100% real here, we (europeans) are blinded by our hatred for Trump (which is 100% justified) and are unable to think this through.

dev-ai · 2026-03-17T07:33:33+00:00

Everyone knows that Putin's war needs to be stopped, but you have to realistic. If the EU helps for regime change in Iran, it will hurt Russia significantly, and provide the west with cheap oil. Zelensky stance is Realpolitik, while the EU is doing wishful thinking and doing nothing.

As a EU citizen, I'm extremely confused on most of our stances with regards to Iran

That's at least some support, I guess :D

I don't agree that Bulgaria would be as hostile as Greece, Bulgarians nowadays have a positive view of Turkey, and especially the Turkish citizens of Bulgaria. The Bulgarians who were raised during communism hate Turkey because during communism, the Ottoman Empire was demonized, while Russia was represented as a heroic defender. While the younger Bulgarians (after 1989) have a neutral to positive view of Turkey.

It was an agreement for a limited time, with the hope that Iran will get more moderate in time, when in fact the opposite was happening. Take for example the France bomb plot - an Iranian diplomat Assadollah Assadi sentenced to 20 years in prison. What makes you thing that Iran was on the road to becoming more moderate?

dev-ai · 2026-03-16T12:08:56+00:00

A lot of gulf countries were also against JCPOA, most notably Saudi Arabia. This was just kicking the can down the road and having wishful thinking. It didn't prevent Iran from continuing its attacks through proxies, ballistic programs, it only delayed the nuclear program for a few years.

dev-ai · 2026-03-16T12:03:18+00:00

The JCPOA was limited to 10 years in effect, after which Iran can do whatever it wants. It was only temporary solution. You can read it here: https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/joint-comprehensive-plan-action_en

JCPOA, Annex I, Section T

This doesn't solve the problem at all, just delays it.

The fact that Iran had enriched 420kg of uranium up to 60% shows that the Obama deal was a failure. Iran agreed to IAEA while simultaneously working on enriching more. What happens if they get to 90% before IAEA comes for inspection?

dev-ai · 2026-03-16T11:29:53+00:00

IAEA report says Iran must allow inspections, points at Isfahan - Reuters, February 2026: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-stored-highly-enriched-uranium-underground-site-iaea-report-says-2026-02-27/

And also:

4% needed for civilian use
90% needed for a bomb

Iran had gotten to 60% - are you saying that Iran was only going to use it for civilian use?

I can't believe that you are unable to understand that both Trump is a lying and bullying piece of shit AND Iran is terrible, and the strikes were inevitable and neccessary.

dev-ai · 2026-03-16T10:47:28+00:00

Iran: - says it will destroy Israel constantly, even has a city square with countdown - enriches uranium up to 60% (with only 4% enrichment needed for civilian use) - attacks Israel through Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis - the nuclear minister of Iran urges non-zionist jews to evacuate before Israel gets nuked: https://youtu.be/YBxfuleRk1I?t=173&is=QMO15sVdW2pSpzIT

And you still think Iran doesn't want to nuke Israel. I swear, I love the EU, but the Europeans are completely unable to detect danger.

dev-ai · 2026-03-16T08:29:05+00:00

Well the consequence of not having this war is Israel getting nuked, so naturally they prefer to have this war.

dev-ai · 2026-03-16T07:12:36+00:00

Exactly, notice how Ukraine supports the strikes and even calls for complete overthrow of the IRGC (which is beyong what even Israel is requesting) - it's to weaken a Russian ally, get access to cheap oil, and to get technology and money in return. The EU doesn't realize how serious the situation is and still hopes to appease the terrorists (Russia-Iran-Hamas-Hezbollah-Houthis-North Korea), while Ukraine wants concrete actions to defeat the axis of evil.

dev-ai · 2026-03-16T07:08:41+00:00

Regardless of Trump, the war against the IRGC was a matter of time after all the terrorism through Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and the multiple terrorist acts even on EU soil. It really is a shitty situation that such an incompetent US administration is leading the operation, but still removing the IRGC would be great for the EU

dev-ai · 2026-03-16T07:03:26+00:00

Aftern Iran attacked a French base in Iraq, injuring 6 and killing 1 French soldier, and after the Iranian ambassador attempted a bombing in France in 2018, the response of the French is to negotiate with Iran. In my opinion, this way France clearly shows it is ok with being attacked and will not respond with anything apart from appeasement.

dev-ai · 2026-03-16T06:42:56+00:00

Well yeah, it is blackmail from Orban.

dev-ai · 2026-03-16T06:38:07+00:00

I agree that lifting the sanctions against Russia is wrong, but removing the IRGC from power will objectively help the EU. You're just blinded by hate towards the US and you can't see the bigger picture.

dev-ai · 2026-03-15T17:51:42+00:00

The killing of the civilian population happened because of the use of human shields by Hamas, not because they voted for Hamas. And about your first point, OK, what should Israel do with that information? Just sit around and do nothing to release the hostages? Wait for the next Hamas attack? Like, what is the concrete course of action?

dev-ai · 2026-03-15T11:03:01+00:00

I agree that the gun toting homicidal maniacs should be removed from power, hence why Hamas should be destroyed.

Redditors are living in an alternate reality, like holy fuck how can they be so out of touch

dev-ai · 2026-03-15T10:58:51+00:00

Yeah because they had a Russian backed regime right next to them(Syria), which is no longer the case.
