The French leaders have gone full troll, others should follow suit for sure. Just ostracize him for the fool that he is by his own making.

They need to be thinking about their people and what’s best for them. That said, calling other leaders out when they are wrong is probably the best for their own people, too. Because it says you’re holding yourself and your people to a higher standard.

Spain is 100% right here. Trump is an asshole and this Iran war is pure idiocy done on behalf of Israel, who likely is holding evidence of trump’s sex and/or financial crimes over him.
HOWEVER
While spain is 100% right here, let us also not forget that spain – has been an absolute and total leech on NATO and as such has been a freerider on common security. Even since the russian invasion of Ukraine, spain lags behind virtually everybody else. They are a fucking embarrassment to collective european security, and moralistic grandstanding here against trump should not obscure this. To put it another way: russia is a threat to everybody in europe in no small part because **Spain refuses to do its part.** The numbers show spain to be the worst of the worst year after year after year after year.
This is not me saying this – this is not trump saying this – **this is the Atlantic council saying this:**

though slovenia and belgium are not far behind (notice how belgium has failed to deliver any f16s to Ukraine despite promising).
Good.
Another middle power takes down the sign in the window.
