“economic policeman of the planet”

No, dear. We only wish to control what type of people we do business with.

If you do business with Iran, we won't do business with you.

You are free to choose your own course, as you see fit.

You can do what you want, EU, but the next time you see us coming you better run.

We’re the 900 pound gorilla.

What divisions does Europe have?

The EU is selling Iran the equipment to make the bombs. No wonder they’re pissed.

Iran promised to kill them last.

“The JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) – as the Iran deal is formally known – was signed between Iran, the US, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany and the EU”

Except - IT WASN’T SIGNED!

Iran never signed it. There was no deal.

“Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action”

Another perfect example of insipid bureaucratese naming. Just like “affirmative action”, “quantitative easing” and so many others - saying absolute nothing, but meant to camouflage something very undesirable.

Many in EU didn’t mind us “playing policeman” in WWII, now, did they?

Didn’t mind us financing all the US bases, and NATO, all these years to protect their asses, did they?

Didn’t mind any of the “foreign aid” they received, the rebuilding of their cities, or, paying the lions share of the U.N., the massive trade deficits, (and, “global warming”).

So, shutup Europe. You do business with IRAN, and we no longer do business with you...just don’t involve any US dollars in your dealings with IRAN, and you’re home scott free. Try to grow up for a change and quit looking to the USA to bail you out of everything. Besides, you need to be focusing on how to keep islam from taking over your countries, not whining because you lost the business of one of them.

When are we going to bring our Troops and equipment home from Europe? They don’t deserve our protection and the money they make off of it. Bring them home now and every piece of equipment from M1 Abrams to canteens and mess kits.

EU members were hammering out measures to try to protect European firms doing business in Iran from US sanctions.

"Follow the money!"

Or, to paraphrase,
“The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.”

― Vladimir Lenin

"The EU will sell the mullahs the technology with which they will Nuke Europe"

Europe has long complained about the long arm of US economic jurisdictions, which made it difficult for major European banks and companies to operate in Iran even before the US pullout.

Therein lays the value system of the current Europe.

They have totally abandoned the precepts of Christianity and, by extension, all moral values. I attribute this to the United States as we have supported Western Europe since World War II and that allowed them to use their economies to become socialist nations. They seemed to have it all but were actually using other peoples money, ours, to bankroll their laziness and greed.

Europe's values are so low they will deal with anyone to make money, but they have to since they have painted themselves into a financial corner and if the free one month vacations and other free stuff have to be curtailed the rulers know they will end up with a revolt.
