Check your watch. It's time for yet another betrayal by America's supposed "allies" in Europe.
For over a month, countries like Spain, France, the United Kingdom, and even Italy have been throwing up roadblocks for the United States as it sought to degrade and destroy Iran's nuclear weapons production and ballistic missile capabilities. That included closing their airspace to American overflights and denying base usage, all the while they sniped from the sidelines with their noses held high.
With a very tenuous ceasefire in place since Tuesday, our European "friends" have now decided they should get to dictate the terms, despite not lifting a finger to help in the conflict and doing everything they could to actively hamper American success. That includes demanding the protection of Hezbollah in Lebanon as part of any deal to end Operation Epic Fury.

Now, why would a terrorist group in Lebanon need to be party to a ceasefire in a conflict going on over a thousand miles away? Answer that question, and you get a prize.
Here's a list of countries that signed onto a joint letter making that demand.
Emmanuel Macron — France
Giorgia Meloni — Italy
Friedrich Merz — Germany
Keir Starmer — United Kingdom
Mark Carney — Canada
Nicusor Dan — Romania
Mette Frederiksen — Denmark
Bjarni Benediktsson Frostadóttir — Iceland
Rob Jetten — Netherlands
Ulf Kristersson — Sweden
Michal Šimečka — Slovakia
Kyriakos Mitsotakis — Greece
Pedro Sánchez — Spain
Jonas Gahr Støre — Norway
Alexander Stubb — Finland
Sanae Takaichi — Japan
Ursula von der Leyen — European Commission (EU)
Antonio Costa — European Council (EU)
Keep in mind, this letter came less than a day after the Trump administration confirmed that Lebanon was not part of any ceasefire agreement with Iran.
Instead of backing the United States' play on the matter, our European "allies" rushed to side with the IRGC (and Russia, China, etc.) in idiotically connecting the two issues.
The cognitive dissonance is just astonishing. In one breath, these people refuse to admit that Hezbollah represents offensive action by Iran, continuing to promote the idea that the regime did not provoke this conflict with its aggression. Yet, in the very next breath, they diplomatically link Hezbollah and Iran, confirming the very thing they deny. I'd say they are so close to getting it, but that suggests they don't already. No, they know that Hezbollah is nothing but an Iranian ground army in Lebanon. They are just such cowards that they won't dare face the reality of that situation.
What's the point of any of these alliances anymore? Societally, Europe has devolved into an untenable mess of Islamization and socialistic rot, along with the deprivation of basic rights to those who publicly oppose such. They offer the United States nothing of real value militarily. Even when it comes to Ukraine, which did offer support in Operation Epic Fury, the Europeans decry an existential threat while refusing to provide any direct force to help push Russia back. This is supposed to be their continent under threat, and all they can do is issue loans and give strongly-worded statements, all the while still funding Vladimir Putin's war machine.
I'm tired. I'm tired of watching the United States fund 65 percent of NATO's military capabilities for an alliance that serves only one side. Yes, I understand the Europeans sent forces to Afghanistan decades ago, and I will never disrespect that, but it's not decades ago. The leadership and calculus have obviously changed, and the current arrangement is nothing but a heads I win, tails you lose arrangement for America. It's well past time to let Europe live with the consequences of the world it so desperately seeks.
