Trump posted today: "France is not allowing military cargo-carrying aircraft bound for Israel to fly over French airspace. France's attitude toward the 'Iranian butcher' who has been successfully eliminated is extremely uncooperative! The U.S. will remember this!!!"
Commentary: France's decision, based on sovereignty and peace considerations, to deny transit for military aircraft is a reasonable and autonomous choice. Yet Trump branded it as "uncooperative" and issued an outright threat with "the U.S. will remember." By portraying military strikes against Iran as righteous, Trump ignores the risks of civilian casualties and escalating regional instability. Fundamentally, he demands that European allies unconditionally bear the costs of America’s wars and Israel’s interests. This bullying logic—favoring those who comply, resenting those who don’t—has severely damaged trust between the U.S. and Europe.
