Europe didn’t even participate in the Iraq war, that’s a common misconception. It was just the US, UK, Australia, and Poland. And in Poland’s case they contributed just 200 troops. Sure just like with Palestine they didn’t actively oppose it meaningfully, but the Iraq war was like 90% American, 9% British, 0.5% Australian, and 0.05% Polish.
Depends on when you count, but for the Iraq war specifically that’s about right for the official foreign coalition forces.
However, the Iraq war was just one front of the nearly dozen wars that were being fought as part of the “Global War on Terrorism” which NATO perpetrated, the short list of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen, but arguably also including Camaroon, Philippines, Libya, Kashmir, etc.
Sure, of Europe only UK and Poland were officially deployed to Iraq, but they were actively collaborating with the rest of NATO in a much broader conflict and don’t ask about where the mercenaries and security consultants that were used heavily during those conflicts came from.
This is straight up misinformation. For a start, UK and Poland are both European, and for another, a huge number of other European countries sent troops to Iraq, and you’re straight up lying to say otherwise.
they didn’t actively oppose it meaningfully
This is straight up genocide denial now. Europe actively, rhetorically, and materially supported (and continues to support) the Palestinian genocide and the fascist ethno state carrying it out. The disgusting fake narrative that Europe were just this uninvolved third party who meant well but were too cautious to take action is Genocide Apologist Bullshit.
UK and Poland are both European, but the UK has left the European Union and is clearly America’s plaything so we can safely exclude them from the category of “Europe”, while Poland sent so few troops it became a meme. Most of the European countries who sent troops did so only after a unanimous UN security council resolution, supported by both Russia and China.
Oh and Norway apparently committed military equipment, so there’s that.
As for opposition, my country’s prime minister has been couped for defying American foreign policy, and the leading opposition are deeply-ingrained America-sycophants. Practically speaking it’s unlikely that any opposition would succeed and even if it the most it would do is cause a mild inconvenience. The issue of Palestine is even more fraught than Iraq because of Epstein.
Which is irrelevant, they are still part of Europe.
clearly America’s plaything
Most of Europe is.
so we can safely exclude them from the category of “Europe”,
No you can’t, that’s fucking absurd.
while Poland sent so few troops it became a meme.
“Oh, they only did a little bit of brutal war of aggression that killed millions, that’s fine.”
Fuck off, you would never in a million years try to make this kind of argument for a country outside of Europe.
Most of the European countries who sent troops did so only after a unanimous UN security council resolution,
Oh, so you admit you straight up lied about the rest of Europe sending troops to Iraq. And which un resolution are you referring to? (As if Europe has ever respected un resolutions)
my country’s prime minister has been couped for defying American foreign policy, and the leading opposition are deeply-ingrained America-sycophants.
So your country is a play thing of America then, and a vessel of its genocidal empire.
The issue of Palestine is even more fraught than Iraq because of Epstein.
The issue of actively helping to commit the modern Holocaust is not “fraught because of Epstein”. What a fucked up thing to say. Though not surprising given your earlier genocide denial.
