European views on Iran
This poll is very interesting. The most obvious point is that a majority (even if a narrow one) of citizens of EU member states support an airstrike on Iran if necessary to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons. This shows that, once again, the timidity and political correctness of the ruling elites of those countries does not reflect the actual views of their people. The breakdown of opinion country-by-country, however, is also of interest.
The article lists Germany, Italy, Slovakia, and Spain as countries where majority public opinion opposes an airstrike -- all of these being countries which were members of, or sympathetic to, the Axis at the time of the original Holocaust. Countries named as having majorities favoring the airstrike include the World-War-II-era anti-Axis nations of Britain, France, and Denmark -- with Denmark, whose citizens managed to save most of their Jewish population during the original Holocaust (at considerable risk to themselves), being the country with the highest level of support for pre-emptive action to prevent a second, nuclear Holocaust today.
One probably shouldn't read too much into this, but still.....

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
