What exactly could Europe have done to stop the Bush administration from invading Iraq on the completely unfounded pretense that Saddam Hussein had WMD's?
Bake a cake with 'Please don't!' Written on it?
But it's a useful reminder from the couch fucker. Should Trump call for aid when attempting to overthrow Canada/Greenland/Panama/Iran the Europeans better say 'No'. I bet that's totally not gonna let Republicans lose their shit and cry, bitch and moan like there's no tomorrow.
Yeah, we should have ended our ties to the US and our infrastructural dependency back then.
Back then was one of the few moments I was proud about a german politician, when Schröder said "No".
…what…?
Seriously: what the fuck? There was - at best - scant official support in Europe for the war, and public support was nearly nonexistent. The fuck is he on about.
Go home and fuck your loveseat, heterosectional.
A few European countries sent troops, but more importantly there was not a peep from Europe about, you know, not creating another refugee crisis in their backyard. He said oppose, not not support. Europe could've done more to oppose the Iraq war.
This is interesting, today we know that a conflict in the middle east will cause a large spike in refugees/migrants to the EU, back when the Iraq war started, was that not the case?
To be fair to the EU, republicans could have done more before it even arrived at the feet of the EU
Maybe they can do more against the next war your pal the Orange turd is in the process of starting.
Fuck him, but yes.
respectfully i hope jd vance suffers permanent 24/7 diarrhea from all orifices
Constant runny eyeliner.
but think of the couches.
lets go with constipation. Permanent. constipation.
Still from all orifices though, right? That would finally shut him up
Respectfully.
This seems like an attempt to undermine NATO. The only time article 5 has been used was after 9/11.
~~By saying Europe had a choice and should have resisted, he lays the foundation for the US to not follow through on their NATO commitments.~~
Edit: The commenter below is right, the article 5 was used for Afghanistan, not Iraq. My whole argument is thus invalid
Article five wasn't used in Iraq, only Afghanistan.
Which was after 9/11
Yes but Europe was under no obligation to support the US in the Iraq war since it had nothing to do with NATO.
It's not like that matters to the people this propaganda is targeting.
