Iran and EU

The U.S.'s revived Iran sanctions are in force as of today, but European companies are under official instruction not to comply with the White House's demands that they cease doing business in the country. As in, if they do kow-tow to the U.S. demands without authorization from the European Commission, they're open to being sued by the EU member states. EU businesses will also be allowed to sue the U.S. administration in European courts, if they are affected by the sanctions. Guardian

Makes sense. Just because the US is Israel's puppet, doesn't mean the EU has to be.

EU is a bigger economy than the US, can't let an authoritarian freak get too bossy about the back yard.

Then there is the insane over-spend the US indulges in for the benefit of their military industrial complex. The don't seem to want stability, more mess suits them very well. This is an old pattern. By 1965 Robert McNamara was personally convinced Vietnam was unwinnable but he let it trundle on and we can guess why. US is a bad friend.

"Put all these numbers in perspective: The price of a barrel of oil consumed in the United States would have to increase by $23.40 to offset military resources expended to secure oil. That translates to an additional 56 cents for a gallon of gas, or three times the federal gas tax that funds road construction."

Watch as Europe capitulates to Trump's empty threats of their companies being sanctioned if they do business with Iran.
