I a European who spent the last decade in America and I'm not sure I'd call Americans privileged compared to Europe. With money being the one means you have to be treated well in society, comparing it to Europe, America feels like the hunger games. Want healthcare (ie surviving)? Healthy food? To own your house? Welcome to the games

Europe doesn’t wage war right now. Their point is that Americans are talking about vacation while their troops invade and destroy Iran.

As a middle-class American, I don't feel like I have much input into the Iran war. I've voted, I've signed a few petitions, and I'm open to more suggestions for how I can stop the war, but I don't really think I can do much else- protest somewhere I suppose and hope that's helpful somehow

As a European, how do you influence your government?


OP needs to read up on war history and the US. Spoiler, it's been this way since WWII.

Ukraine?

Started by Russia against Ukraine and without active participation of Europe. US literally attacked Iran to support Israel.

If we go by analogies, Ukraine should've waged genocidal war against Belarus and eventually started bombing Russia and then Europe joined and they bombed Russia together.
