From what I understand the EU has a similar “Attack on one is an attack on all” defense pact as NATO. Imagining a world where Ireland drags France and Germany kicking and screaming into a war with Israel.
They'll make up some excuse not to because the Irish that are there would be branded as radicals or something
Oh yeah I know it won’t happen, but it’s fun to imagine and it’ll be frustrating when they make up bullshit to get out of it
They would say that the Israeli attack was accidental and didn't intended to kill and that they should not be there anyway. This would not be said by France or Germany, but for the Irish government itself.
There is absolutely no chance the EU would join in the defense of any member state. NATO yes, because like 50% of European politicians are neoliberal true believers, but the EU? Nah.
I think you’re totally right but also think that’s very strange. Personally, I would be more likely to honor my defense pact with my close knit economic bloc than the rabid dogs across the ocean who drag us into shit all the time
Europe entering a proxy war with the US will never happen on the account of a few civilians.
While I don’t think this changes anything, these are soldiers, not civilians.
