France will host an international conference this month to help drum up humanitarian aid for Lebanon and strengthen security in the southern part of the country, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday. "We will hold in the next few weeks a conference to provide humanitarian aid, support the international community and support the Lebanese armed forces boost security, especially in southern Lebanon," Macron said after a meeting of French speaking countries in Paris.
I think one reason why Europe might be afraid of escalating tension in the Levant is that there could be millions of refugees fleeing the conflict zone who might end up in Europe, which is what they’re really afraid of given how politically and economically untenable it is for them to take in refugees. Social tensions will erupt, their economies will be placed under even worse strains. All these would benefit the US empire who seeks to control Europe though.
Despite being knee deep in reading about this I have zero notes about how Europe helps the US control immigration, kind of embarrassing that I am still on the “uhhh bad look, nuclear war?” bent in 2024 but it is what it is 🤕

This captures the bleakness of the situation in a nut shell, the US will create millions of refugees that will travel to Europe.
And of course knowing how hateful and violent the average euro is, the far right will win.
