Thanks for the bump!
Israel has not requested assistance from Germany's armed forces amid the fighting with Iran, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on Sunday, as Berlin continues to make clear that it remains firmly on Israel's side.
"We're not preparing anything," Pistorius said on a programme of public broadcaster ARD that aired on Sunday evening.
"I don't know how we could or should actively participate in this conflict. Therefore, this question does not arise for us," the minister said.

While I'm not a fan of his in general, perhaps my favorite moment from a presidential candidate in my lifetime came from Ron Paul back in 2012. He was on CNN talking to British citizen Piers Morgan, and Morgan was fearmongering about Iran acquiring nuclear weapons as the corporate media is wont to do from time to time. Then this exchange transpired:
MORGAN: I as a newspaper editor – as a newspaper editor back in Britain, I opposed the war in Iraq vigorously and loudly.
PAUL: Then you should oppose us going into Iran.
MORGAN: I think Iran is a different situation.
PAUL: Why?
MORGAN: Because I think that they would, if they could, consider attacking Israel. If you're America, you can't let that happen. The Israelis –
(CROSS TALK)
PAUL: Why shouldn't they depend on the British? Why doesn't the British take care of them? They used to – they have a lot of influence over there. Let all the British kids go over there and die.

I really dislike Piers Morgan. He is famous for opening his silly mouth like a goldfish and asking: But what about Oct 7th? Do you condone what happened then?
He refuses to talk about what's been happening to the Palestinians since 1967. -

BURLINGTON, Vt., June 19 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today released the following statement:
In 2002, in testimony to Congress urging the United States to go to war in Iraq, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated: “There is no question whatsoever that Saddam is seeking… nuclear weapons…. If you take out Saddam’s regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations.”
Netanyahu was wrong. Very wrong. The war in Iraq resulted in 4,492 U.S. military deaths, over 32,000 wounded, and a cost of roughly three trillion dollars. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis also died as a result of that tragic war. Netanyahu was wrong regarding the war in Iraq. He is wrong now. We must not get involved in Netanyahu’s war against Iran.

That's correct (and it's certainly worth mentioning that they - unlike Israel and Germany - actually committed troops to the effort), but it is important to point out that Netanyahu was on the cheerleading squad, as were many of the voices currently pushing for regime change in Iran. The American right has the memory of a goldfish.
