The highest % I saw was Sweden at 8%. Danger zone, but not too late.
At least Hungary is pushing back.
The exiting UN chief of nuclear inspections had been on the job for almost five years. His last job was head of the Finland government office for nuclear safety. Oddly, it’s reported by twenty-odd sources...but all outside of the US.
Spot on Olog
Euros have bigger things to fret about than the Iran deal.
Denmark is only 4% mohammedan. Not too late at all.
And they’re actively looking for ways to make that number smaller.
Lol, I’m taking that!
Well, they haven't complied, sooooo....
Well, there they go calling Netanyahu a liar again. France already did that, too. Typical out of the Euro-socialists.
True. Hungary and Poland sure are. And the Czechs.
I am sure they expect to sell a lot of canned ham and legos to Iran. Oops, they don’t eat pigs.
This nation produced Canute and Magnus and Swyn etc and a slew of wwii heroes
Hard to believe today
Yes, why isn’t this made more of, publicly? This was no treaty on behalf of the People of the USA!
Any agreement without signature is not binding and unenforceable.
Reminds me of a saying “ handshakes are for friends, contracts are enforceable in Court”
