France has authorised United States forces to use French military bases during the conflict involving Iran, according to a report by BFMTV.

The broadcaster said the decision would allow US armed forces access to facilities on French territory as the war continues to expand across the region.

Officials at the French Ministry of Armed Forces did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the report.

      you have to have at least two major powers in it on opposite sides, i think. and it cant be a proxy war, even a half-proxy war like ukraine.

      but we’re getting there.

      edit: alternatively, when whitey says so.

          europe is fully vassalized to the US and not a separate power bloc. their only tentative bid for some independence has just been thoroughly demolished in the last few years. this war is making things even worse for them.

          and europe is only fighting this war through the ukrainian proxy, not directly anyway.
