France: Europe isn't U.S. "vassal," should trade with Iran

[Fafnir]

It makes sense EU can become a strong vessel on its own without looking at the yanks!

'if'

Only "IF" they actually have the courage to stand on their own two feet,and that is a very big "IF" indeed.

Bolton says 'it's possible' US will sanction European companies working with Iran

There we have it. Europe will fall in line.

Maybe,maybe not.The europeans lost a sh!t load by going along with us sanctions,around 35,000,000,000+ euros per year in lost trade,not to mention all those other investment opportunities and of course all that lovely natural gas which could provide a very nice alternative to russias current domination of europes gas supplies,and the eu trade with iran is currently worth 17,000,000,000 euros which is a big improvement over last years figures.
I would also imagine that there is little love for trump or his style of politics amongst most of the european leadership especially when he is effectively dictating to them and potentially threatening them with economic blackmail without even a pretense of consensus building or negotiation.
Now personally I have no faith or respect for the europeans,they have been vassals for over 70+ years so to just expect them to suddenly man up and grow a pair of balls after having sent the last 70+ years down on their knees spreading their *** cheeks is rather unlikely,but you never know when/where anyones breaking point may be and there is an awful lot at stake here economically,politically and possibly militarily as well,so who knows,I guess we`ll see.
