#2 Oh my, cutting off missile and nuclear tech. How could it get any worse? [roll eyes]

but it was unclear when that might happen

Gee, let me think: The instant one or the other is annihilated, Alex?

A unified front among Britain, France, Germany

The operative word here is unified. This implies morals, intelligence, and clear thinking.

Do you allow construction but not delivery of fuel?

Neither. And destroy what is there. And don't allow nations to start this kind of crap with the expectation and intention to use it to extract a ransom from rest of the civilized world. There is no logical reason other than that to have begun this project. I doubt it will net them that much money. For the most part the Russians are not very efficient at anything yet, and they won't be until they shed that socialist/communist mindset and truly adopt a free market economy.

#3 Its time to give up on EuNic's being allies.

#4 Indeed, 3dc. Allies. Must be different dictionaries and/or poor translations.

The EU can do whatever it wants, it hasn't been relevant regards Iran for 4 years - hell, make that forever.

Russia? Who cares what Russia says - their interests as perfectly transparent.

China? Lol.

Even less relevant is what turds pop out of the UN / UNSC.

We'll be going it alone, or not at all - and that would be the most significant Pandora's Box scale mistake of this new millenium.

They're among the best at black market and bribery.

#7 They also hold the record for slaughtering their own people.
It's a tie between them and China, methinks, although I would have put the Chairman slightly ahead of Uncle Joey.
