#1 Not trying to keep repeating myself, but the Euros response, more than any of the others, is entirely irresponsible. After 2 1/2 years of EU-3/Iran talking, etc. etc.

We are to blame as well. We keep giving military defense candy to the indulging Euros.

#2 Iran's goal is not a bomb. Their goal is to drop a bomb.

And since Europe is in range, but the US is not, guess who's the most likely target.

#3 Please don't forget that we are in range of a freighter carrying an Iranian bomb. The EUnuchs believe that they are not the target. They are probably correct - they are not the primary target, but they will be a secondary target if they ever resist dhimmitude. The Euros are an enemy of the USA.

The Russians want a rematch after loosing the Cold War. The Chinese are already in a low grade conflict with us, and thus benefit from Mooslim vandalism of the West.

The USA will have to find a path forward that does not depend on "allies" like these.

As an aside, the we need to cut off any further military aid to the other countries of NATO. If they want to go to Afghanistan with nerf bats, so it goes. And no further resources to the UN - we will need them for own survival.

Word, SR-71. "Unilateral" no longer means "one-sided". It simply means "sane".

#5 The EUnuchs believe that they are not the target.

IMHO, Europe is the prize/prey/target, the USA are the ennemy.

#6 Iran's goal is "AllahBooom Akhbar" and the pathetic EU response further strengthen its faith in it.

#7 #2 FA - according to Ahma-nutjob, their first and foremost target is Israel.

And if a bunch of Arabs get killed too, so what? Iran is Persian.

Ahma-nutjob knows he doesn't have to actually drop a bomb on the EUnichs - just threaten them with one and they'll fall all over each other to be the first to ~~help destroy America~~ kiss his ass.

Then they'll wonder why their economies tank and their "Asian" and "North African" ~~conquerors~~ immigrants rise up and start killing infidels.

And they'll still blame America and the Joooooos.

#8 I agree with you anonymous5089. The words of the man himself.

"Europeans will be responsible for any event in the region and they will be harmed first," he said without giving details.

#9 Iran doesn't want "A" bomb, but "lots" of bombs. The time to target and hit them is now, before they move forward. Use nice, dirty nukes that will leave the areas uninhabitable for 10,000 years, so they won't be able to retrieve anything that isn't totally destroyed. If you can't play nice with the big boys, expect to have your teeth handed to you in a paper bag.
