    No that is another issue. I am not talking about Iran going round any sanction and this one seems like it is nicely developed to try and get the EU angry with Iran. Anyway that is another thread. What I was talking about was Iran, who still has stuck to the letter of the nuclear deal which did not bring them any of the benefits while the EU was promising but not delivering business. What they said they were going to do was go against one of the things they had agreed to. I think it was agreeing to a limit on enriched uranium or something. They were giving the EU thirty days to get the system they have got into order or they would go one step further. Iran does not yet think this is more than a fluff - that there is no substance behind it. That is what the EU needs to show Iran it is doing and then Iran will keep the deal and will not build nukes. I can really see why the US will be doing it's best by all means including the one you mentioned to try and get the EU against Iran.

    Why?

    Because Iran invented the bomb? No, that was America.
    America should say who gets the bomb and who doesn't.


    Besides, America has sanctions against Iran for this reason and if Iran was selling oil, that breaches sanctions against Iran.

    If Iran wants the bomb, they should have invented the bomb back in the 1940's and beat America to the punch, but they didn't, so, they lose.


    Anyway, if it were up to America, no one but America would have the bomb.
    Russia stole it, and so America begrudgingly shared the info with their allies because they were in range of Russia.

    Don't forget who's world we're living in, it's the United States of America's.

    It doesn't even matter if you like America or not.

    The bomb was invented in Germany. The americans just build on our theory.

    Canada has no love for Iran. We consider them enemies.

    I dont think a nation spanning millenia depends on the love of a non-country like Canada.

    No, Germany never succeeded, almost made a crater out of Berlin in doing so, but they never succeeded. In fact, Germany gave up and thought it couldn't be done until America did it.
    It was invented in Los Alamos, NM, USA.

    Canada is more of a country than the EU is any day, and Germany is just another vassal for this non country called the EU which means Germany are a vassal to Brussels and Strasbourg.

    Not really, the EU is not a country.

    It's practically governed by Germany and France. Just stupid to call Germany a vazal of that.
    California has far little to say about their affairs because of their own white house.

    Not really, Brussels says jump, Germany asks how high?
    Also, if you ever watch Euronews, they talk about Brussels like Brussels is some Washington D.C (it's not).

    Brussels is more like Moscow to the USSR.

    I don't count Germany existing from 1945 - 1990, so, really, I'm older than Germany since I was born in 1986.

    Germany usurped Poland.
    If anything, Poland should be a power house and Germany should be poor.
    I mean, Poland are in the EU today because it's owed big time and wants all it can get from the EU without giving back because Poland was wronged.

    Germany owes Poland $850bn, £3.7 trillion to the UK for WWII.

    UK has probably 2nd or 3rd most powerful Navy in the world. If Iran wants to venture that way - sure. I’m just not betting on Iran coming out as a winner here.

    It's our weakness that Germany got away with WWII.

    I read an FBI or a CIA projection about five years ago and they projected a strong rise of Poland j. The future.
    I’m all for it. They hate Russia viciously and are very favorable to the US, UK and Ukraine. It can be the root of the eastern defense who are very enthusiastic about it. Germans and French got fat and careless making them pretty useless for any real military alliance.

    Colonization is imperialistic terrorism. Funny how Bush and his ilk started a "war on terrorism" by practicing the very same terrorism they hated in others.

    Your characterization is wrong.
    War is terrorism and a war against terrorism doubly so.
