Shipments of arms used in the conflict in Gaza should be stopped as part of a broader effort to find a political solution, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday. France is not a major weapons provider for Israel, shipping military equipment worth 30 million euros ($33 million) last year, according to the defense ministry's annual arms exports report. "I think the priority today is to get back to a political solution (and) that arms used to fight in Gaza are halted. France doesn't ship any," Macron told France Inter radio.
maybe a sign that european leaders are starting to get a little nervous about the implications of a regional war? we’ve seen how disastrous the (failed) attempt of weaning europe off russian oil has been for their industries. what would happen then if suddenly the export of oil from the middle east comes to a sudden stop? i’m not sure european leaders are as keen on this murder-suicide pact as the US seems to be
Nah, US flooding Israel and its Near/Middle Eastern allies with military (which also include increase in food and consumption demands) is good for Europe who needs to earn the dollars to import American energy to survive.
France in particular hates it because it got robbed 50 billion euros worth of submarine deal with Australia a couple years back when the US stabbed them in the back. It was a huge loss for the French economy and their military industrial complex.
60% of your takes are good; 40% are similar to this one you’ve just posted. You’re close but miss some significant points.
Money doesn’t mean anything if you can’t get fuel. Just bc the demand will be higher doesn’t mean the supply will be there.
When they lost Russian gas, they lost their biggest source of fuel. No one can replace Russia’s supply, even if the whole of the GCC pumped everything they have it wouldn’t cover what Russia was supplying.
What would happen is their other major source of fuel would shrivel up if a regional war breaks out.
America will never be able to cover that additional loss, they can’t even cover the loss of Russia. What will happen is that gas and oil will be even more expensive AND their supply would be cut down to the point of rationing fuel.
It will only expedite the de-industrialization of the EU.

Regional war would fuck the EU hard.
Fuck the eu and 80% of euros living there. May the strongest consequences fall upon architects of white supremacy and their descendants.
Europe hasn’t even begun to suffer for their crimes against humanity implemented on the global south.
