Berlin is “determined to do everything necessary” to preserve the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran despite the US pullout, Germany’s Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said while meeting US lawmakers at the start of his visit to Washington.

“We don’t want any proliferation of nuclear weapons in our extended neighborhood,” Maas stressed. Having a deal, according to Maas, is better than not having one, and fearing that Iran would restart its uranium enrichment program. […]

Earlier this month, Maas sharply criticized the US stance on Iran, calling it a “disappointment.” He added that Berlin was willing to “fight for our interests where necessary.” […]

While meeting members of the US Congress on Tuesday, however, Maas seemed to moderate his stance. “Our bond with the United States is close and deep, even if our opinions differ in some areas,” he said in Washington.

At the same, Maas restated that the ties between the two allies were “undergoing a change.”

Every time an American diplomat meets with a German official, he should be required to remind the German at the onset that Germany is a conquered nation. Everything else follows.

The krauts are more ewar-driven than we are. They start 2 world wars, lose both and still want to lead and conquer the Euroweenies.

Nope, this is all about money. Plain and simple. A lot of German contract are going to get canceled as a result of terminating the Iran fiasco and imposing sanctions. That’s what Germany is concerned about, not that Israel would get attacked, not that Iran would soon get nukes and threaten the world, nope, it’s purely and almost exclusively about greed.

The former CIA chief also said that America's European allies would eventually go along with the US plan due to "overlapping values and interests."

I wouldn't bet the ranch on that.

So I go to watch some Hannity last night (recorded).

And of course, the end of the Tucker Carlson show is on the lead-in part. Usually about a minute or minute and 1/2.

ANYWAYS, Carlson says, essentially, the USA might be going to war with Iran -—sooner than you think-—.

Did I miss something recently?
