Some set of Allies the EU is. Why are they considered allies, why are we paying 70% of Nato funding?
evil
Duh.
Interesting why they would take that stance when their countries are being torn apart by Muslim immigrants. You would think that...Oh wait...they’re scared to death of reprisals so would rather put up with their crap than do something about it.
I assume Israel has nuclear weapons. If you were Iran, would you give up nuclear weapons as long as Israel has them? President Trump does a lot of good things, but I'm not at all convinced he's getting it right on the ME, as far as what follows ISIS is concerned.
Looks that way. Germany and Italy are Iran’s main trading partners there, and other nations in Europe want to take a big chance on their security in return for economic and energy benefits. The U.K. has been very stubborn about it, and maybe France, IIRC.
Yes.
The companies will do what is best for their profitability. If US Sanctions actually bite, they will comply.
Siemens for instance will likely comply with the sanctions.
Banks and insurerors are the key. They will likely comply as well.
Fear the muslim....... /s
Europe, plus China and Japan and most of the rest of the world.
Europe has never been an ally in the real sense of what an ally is...they used our young men to fight their wars, they used us when they needed money and bled us dry. They used us to keep the communists at bay. They are only allies when they need us for something otherwise they work against us with our enemies.
We need to get over our romantic, myopic view of Europe that so many of our people have held for far too long. An America-friendly Europe hasn’t existed for many decades, if it ever did at all, and the truth is Europe is our nightmare.
they can enact all the “blocking” statues they want, but that won’t prevent their multi-national corporations and mega-banks from losing billions from retaliatory U.S. sanctions on themselves should these companies violate U.S. sanctions themselves ... these giant EU companies do far more business with the U.S. than Iran, which is why they’ve already announced that they’re not gonna slit their own throats by doing business with Iran ... and it’s driving the leftist EU governments insane that they don’t have the power to order their own corporations to destroy themselves on the alter of Iranian benevolence ...
