Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Europe, China, and Russia should get together and negotiate with Iran. Negotiations cannot be left to the US. The war affects the entire world.

The war does affect the entire world but what are those (3) going to do?( this is not ment to be combative) Russia has a ton of sanctions on them as it is and I am not to sure what trade it still as with the u.s. china has been a sticking point for the White House as the enemy so them backing out of what trade they have left won’t do much( I am ignorant about much so I can be very wrong). And one of the biggest thing Europe can do to the u.s. in this situation is stop letting them/us use that air fields to launch strikes or even air tankers. The EU can harm the US in the last way but the other two look like they have less power at the table.

That's what this war ultimately is. America thinks if it has some influence over Petroleum in the short term, that it'll help beat China in the AI race.
