This is the first time that these three European states have officially declined to be accomplices to the American terrorists in killing Arabs and Muslims. The joint statement must be a big surprise to the Americans and the world. In fact they were all in it together, with some sending warships and warplanes to American bases in the Middle East, but why backing out? Or a statement to deceive the Arabs and Muslims they are not involved, don't hit our assets?
A few days into this terrorist attack against Iran, why are these three American hardcore allies changing their position? The supply of oil must be top most in their minds. Joining the Americans would mean offending the Arab and Muslim states and risking their oil supply being cut off. The fact that the Iranians were fighting back and very successful in destroying all American bases and assets in the region must be another important factor for them to reconsider their participation.
The Brits must have smelt a rat, that the Americans are suffering and likely to lose. All American assets and properties, including investments and diplomatic buildings, embassies, have been hit. American soldiers hiding in hotels also were hit, meaning the Iranians are receiving information of their locations. Joining this operation is not going to be a cake walk. Brit soldiers are going to die, like the Americans. So it is better to stay out of it. And the Brits got the French and the Germans to share the same position, to avoid being singled out by the Americans.
This is a shocking development. The first time that the Americans are fighting on their own. Oops, Italy may still be in. Several other NATO states have already opted out. They too did not want to offend the whole Arab and Muslim world, especially in a war they cannot win.
Let the Americans and Israelis die, none of their business. Self interest is more important. Live by the sword, die by the sword. The price for killing is to be killed.
PS. Will be going for a short holiday on Thursday. Virgo, Southernglory and friends, please keep posting. I will post whenever I could access the blog. Thank you.
