I'm sure we won't be hearing any more about burning tankers there then. Just like the attacks on the neighboring countries stopped immediately after the president's apology.

I mean, why would they stop? They can't hit the US and can barely hit Israel. Their best approach is to drag them through the mud by causing as much chaos as possible. Every country that's not taking measures against Israel and the US is more or less complicit anyway. Europe especially really needs to stop pussy-footing around Israel just because of WW2.

It was a long time ago and we should be able to speak out against them. But no, instead we have governments that barely speak up and basically allow them to do whatever they want, including committing genocide in Gaza, constantly attacking Lebanon, now attacking Iran and soon attacking the next country (Turkey?).

Well yeah, I don't necessarily blame them for doing the only thing they can - I'm just pointing out that what they say is completely meaningless, yet tons of people pretend to take it at face value while doubting literally everything that comes from the West.
