I have already shown you how there were European nations with intel that was far more accurate than our own in regards to Iraq having WMD. Yet they trusted U.S. intel over their own which led to a huge mistake on their part. I know you have yourself convinced that the U.S. is the best at everything, all the time. But that's simply not true.
Yet, there's no indication that they intend to deliver anything anywhere other than Israel or the US.
Not only is there an indication of it, there is proof of it...............
Saudi Arabia: Strikes on key energy infrastructure, including the Shaybah oil field, and Prince Sultan Air Base.
United Arab Emirates: Missile and drone attacks causing fires at oil facilities (like in Fujairah) and debris impacts near Dubai's Al Minhad Air Base.
Bahrain: Direct strikes targeting the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet Headquarters and local refining infrastructure.Kuwait: Heavy ballistic missile and drone interceptions over U.S. and allied facilities, including Camp Arifjan.
Qatar: Drone and missile attacks targeting the Al Udeid Air Base.Iraq: Multiple strikes on military sites (such as Jurf al-Sakher) and areas near the U.S. consulate in Erbil.
Jordan: Interception of drones and missiles over U.S. and allied installations, including the Muwaffaq Salti Airbase.
Syria: Escalation of strikes by Iran and affiliated militias against U.S. and allied outposts.
Cyprus: A drone strike hit the British RAF Akrotiri military base.
Anyone that are allies of the U.S. in the region have been struck. You know, nations Iran is actually capable of striking.
As much as you wish to minimize, rationalize and skirt around the facts, not only has Europe refused to back us in battle ships, aircraft carriers and ships of war even just show force alone and defend the Strait of Hormuz, they even refused to send mine sweepers to help clear the strait. Yet they were there in Afghanistan and they were there in Iraq.
And before you go off on another back alley stroll, if there is any president in my lifetime Europe would capitulate to it would be trump. He has already hit them with massive trade tariffs. He has threatened to back out of NATO. They know just how vindictive and punitive he can be. Since you brought up financial ramifications.
Earlier you blamed it on what I read in the media and the usual blah, blah, blah BS the right uses. But none of that is needed. Anyone keeping up with things knows what I just posted is true.
All one needs to do is read actual quotes from trump and see how Europe reacted. All you need to do is see that Europe was there for us in Iraq. They were there for us in Afghanistan and they are not there for us now. You can look at our allies in the region to see that Iraq will attack any of our allies they can reach by the strikes they have conducted since the start of this "excursion".
And if anyone would punish them for it, it would be trump.
