On Thursday, the heads of state and government of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK and Japan issued a joint statement in which they pledged to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

The promise made by EU foreign ministers on Monday not to take part in the war against Iran (“This is not our war”) lasted just three days. On Thursday, the heads of state and government of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK and Japan issued a joint statement in which they pledged to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

The statement makes no mention whatsoever of the US and Israel, which attacked Iran 20 days ago in violation of international law and have been bombing it non-stop ever since. Instead, it blames the victim for the war and accuses Iran of breaking international law.

    Well good luck then. I mean I know Germans will gladly die for Israel, heck they went fascist for Israel already (guess being Nazis once wasn’t enough), but Japan? Imagine getting mocked by Trump, being nuked by the US twice and then forever being little cucks of the US. Countries too weak to stand up against Trump are too weak to do anything. They might as well just tell their citizens they are subservient to a pedo.
