On Iran, the eurochickens make fools of themselves

 by Monica Showalter

Is there any better evidence that the Europeans are as hidebound, bureaucratic, and ridiculous as we think they are than this statement from European Union Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen in the wake of the U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran's mullah regime?

Don't let the bombing of Iran, the retaliatory strikes against civilians in the Gulf states, the closure of airports and vital shipping lanes, the decapitation of its mullah leadership, and even the attack on EU-member Cyprus interfere with your weekend, fellas.

The talkfest at the Security College can wait till Monday. Because nothing gets between a eurochicken and his days off.

It's by far the most telling statement about the frivolous priorities of the European Union, and the dead-serious mission to save the world from a nuclear strike of President Trump and his Israeli ally. There is even a new report out that Iran's mullahs had been cooking up new terror attacks against the West, which could directly impact Europe, and this strike was to shut it down.

But Le Weekend beckons and that's what's really important: Nothing gets between a eurochicken and his weekend.

This tells us all we need to know about most of Europe's reliability as a U.S. NATO ally. The vocal opposition to the strikes from Germany, France, the U.K. and Spain add more fuel to this fire, but the EU is the one that does it best.

If this isn't reason enough for an immediate meeting of whatever it is they've got to add, what, exactly, is?
