Do you think France will help us fight Iran?

trump treated them like crap for the last three years.

1. Trump has treated everybody like crap except for Russia and North Korea,

and I don't think we should expect any help from them.

2. The United States' main allies are abandoning Trump over his 'dangerous escalation' with Iran

The United States' main allies are abandoning Trump over his 'dangerous escalation' with Iran

UK warns that a war with Iran 'is in none of our interests'

France warns of the danger of unilateral action

Germany warns of 'dangerous escalation'

Israel stands alone in praising Trump

8. And Canada:

A statement from Foreign Affairs Minister François-Philippe Champagne on Friday offered no support for Mr. Trump’s action, beyond noting that Canada “has long been concerned” about Gen. Soleimani, "whose aggressive actions have had a destabilizing effect in the region and beyond.”

Mr. Champagne’s statement echoed those of European leaders, who joined Canada in calling for restraint and de-escalation on both sides.

That won’t happen. Iran will strike back, perhaps in Iraq, where hundreds of Canadians are stationed as part of Canada’s NATO commitment to training Iraqi forces in the fight against the Islamic State. There is also the risk that Iran will attack U.S. allies, such as Canadian and European nationals within or outside the region.

3. Macron's got his own problems right now

There's a France-wide general strike next week, and Paris is going through the longest transit strike in its history. He needs the left (whose parties are in unmitigated chaos still) which means he's got to spend his time painting the gilets-jaunes as a bunch of Le Pen-ists (they largely are) and painting himself as the last sane Europhile on the continent (he largely is). That doesn't leave any room for foreign adventurism. France's Muslim population (approaching 10%, which is what the gilets-jaunes are actually pissed off about) is mostly Sunni and non-Persian in origin, so there's no real domestic constituency for regime change in Tehran.

4. Nope.

[Voltaire2]

6. Nope.

[roamer65]

7. Fuck no.

It may even cause the breakup of NATO.

[dewsgirl]

9. No.

[MFM008]

10. Le no

🤔👎

[Vinca]

11. I doubt it. The sane countries know they're dealing with a nutcase.

[nini]

12. I don't think anyone will

And they shouldn’t enable the actions of the idiot in chief.

[no_hypocrisy]

13. And don't bother asking Boris . . . . .

[Hortensis]

14. Best guess France would act as independently as possible.

Trump would expect support for whatever he did, and no one knows for sure what that would be.

[DFW]

15. Macron would just repeat Marcel Marceau's one spoken word in "Silent Movie"

NON !!

16. I don't think anyone should help Mr. World Destructomatic.

This is just a farce anyway, made up by Russia and drumpf to stop the impeachment and probably start a war. Now, maybe, Russia will make Iran back off, maybe Khameni wanted to get rid of the General and all 3 parties worked together? That seems unlikely to me. If Iran didn't agree to this, and Russia backstabbed them by giving approval, then all bets are off and anything could happen with retaliation.
