Thoughtful as ever. Europe cannot acknowledge its weakness (hence its hatred of Trump who exposes its nakedness so to speak). Furthermore by acknowledging Irans’s hostility and actions, Europe would then have to accept the validity of Trump’s approach. What is perhaps harder to understand is their reluctance to assist in the SOH operation which is most definitely in their economic interest.

From the use in the preamble of Aron's prescient and fatidic observation to your masterful description and analysis of the strange and self defeating posture of many of the EU's leading members, this essay strikes all the right notes.

Thank you Zineb for all. And now, for quoting Raymond Aron!

Fearing and coddling the jihadist element in the homeland is the policy of England’s Labor government. These are not the same Brits who landed at Normandy and stood beside us in Iraq and Afghanistan. As Teddy Roosevelt said about Taft they have the spine of an eclair.

Pressure is growing about the inherent sense of NATO that cannot be ignored … What allies do we have in the age of Trump, how far gone are the TDS-afflicted overseas and domestically who are siding with mullahs and the communist left … wretched spectacle … we see who they are rooting for!
