The reason I'm posting this here and overall context:

  • France and Europe has been having a energy crisis for a while now.
  • When Iran effectively closed the straight it substantially impacted Europe and Asia a lot more then America.
  • As such Macron has been saying France might participate in military action in the straight to keep ships flowing
  • This incident gives Macron a certain level of justification to participate.
  • The probable cases of France participating wouldn't materially change anything beyond a NATO ally sending their soldier to their deaths for Trump's war.
  • This really starts to muddy the waters as to Canada's role if Iran starts to directly threatening France.

Tldr: Macron is a moron. He should have withdrawn his soldier from a active war zone.

No one was injured in the first attack, after which Italy said it was temporarily withdrawing its military personnel from the base.

Maybe if they all stopped supplicating an orange moron who has shown as a moral truth that supplication is useless, things might be different
