BRUSSELS (AP) — How long will it last? Will it grow? What will it mean to us — and to global security overall? Those questions echoed across the Middle East and the planet Saturday as world leaders reacted warily to U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran that may have ended the life of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
So I get that Europe is justifiably angry with the US, and this attack is against international norms. At the same time, Iran is an enemy to Europe and a Russian ally.
All that to say, this isn’t black and white. Comparing it to Russia invading Ukraine would be a false equivalence, similarly to compare the US and/or Israel to Ukraine defending itself is also a false equivalence.

There’s no other reaction they should be having other than condemning the acts of the US and Israel.
Immediate economic sanctions and a freeze of all overseas assets of the Trump regimes members is what is called for here.
Well said
Canada just fully endorsed this attack and Israel’s right to defend itself.
I saw that, fucking disappointing to hear
I think no one will condemn this because everyone sees the Israeli government as a bigger issue than even Trump. Which is quite naive.
And being next door when Trump has commented on the 51st state, it may not be the best time to condem something with all the military geared up, they could mostly squash us as a side quest. Least that’s what I hope. Mean I think the PM could have been less accepting of the situation in his message but I’m sure there’s a fine line. I’m also not much into international relations so sort of trying to be optimistic considering our other choice of leader (okay technically more but it’s two parties realistically though the NDP has been needed for coalition governments).
There’s a complete lack of leadership as this one geriatric baby goes about terrorizing the world
Now that the Ayatollah has just been killed, what will Iran’s leadership look like in the next weeks, months, years?
Unfortunately, this was likely a useless engagement. There will probably not be a regime change.

I posted a picture of a map of “Greater Israel” and it was moderated. Do you want the specific picture hosted in the Epstein files? Seems very relevant to the idea of war expanding to me.
