Description

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt We look at how Europe is responding to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran as President Trump denounces NATO allies for not joining the war. International affairs scholar Nathalie Tocci, speaking to Democracy Now! from Italy, criticizes Europe's "ambiguous" response to the war on Iran as most of the continent has refused to condemn it. "We were the ones that were for multilateralism, for international law, and that ambiguity is basically another nail in the coffin of our credibility." Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday. Watch our livestream at democracynow.org Mondays to Fridays 8-9 a.m. ET.

Sanchez is one of the few European leaders that has any backbone and principals. It's against international law, end of.

The Spanish leader is the one sticking to international law and if my country or all the others in this big group supposedly go to help this illegal war, they should be condemned. We have to especially as NATO countries leave the Strait to Trump and his idiot criminals to fix. We should NOT fix his mess and lose our ships and mostly any of our people for his unilateral, imperialism.

Trump spends years insulting America's Allies and then he whines like a baby when they won't join in his war of choice.
