Having visited Brussels earlier this week, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo took to Twitter Friday to demand that Britain, France, and Germany, the three EU members in the P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran, take “decisive actions” against Iran.
Pompeo objected to Iran’s promise to develop more efficient centrifuges for its civilian enrichment of uranium. Pompeo called this “nuclear extortion” and insisted all civilized nations must stop them.
Pompeo has always been one of the most hawkish Trump cabinet members on Iran, and looks to spin Iranian actions as severely as possible. In practice, the EU nations have reacted very little to the Iranian announcement, considering it largely immaterial.
Iran and the remaining parties of the nuclear deal are trying to save the deal in the absence of the US. Iran has tried to use minor technical violations like this as leverage to push the other side to come through with sanctions relief and other incentives faster. So far, however, US banking sanctions have blocked most such efforts.
They do need to take decisive actions. Against the US sanctions. They need to end this. They know better.
Only these bafoons could cook up such a cock-up as this one. Can only imagine what the next initiative will be. A kind of Munchausen by proxy. diplomacy with Pompeao cast as the child and Trump rides in on a white Boeing and saves the day by befriending the hapless miscreant with wine, women and greenbacks ala Kim. I can see it up in lights on a theater marquee on Broadway, “Clueless Bozos Save the World By Luck”
Maybe if Pompeo would up his cholesterol intake just a touch, mother nature could relieve us of this problem. Judging by how many chins he has I’d say he’s ripe for a major heart attack or maybe a stroke. That would destroy my wish that he develop ass cancer but we can’t have everything.
Don’t hold back, wars. Tell us how you really feel.
How does one move a fat man and explain same time why not to a fat man with fat cells in brain ?
European nations need to take “decisive actions” against the US. Are they going to allow the warmongering US to use their countries for battlefields once again ?
Shut your fat mouth up Fat Bastard.
Actually France did demand that Iran stop moving away from the deal, as reported on this site yesterday, which I quoted here. Read this:

Here’s Britain two days ago:
Britain deeply concerned at Iran’s plan for faster uranium enrichment

Here’s Germany one day ago:
Germany urges Iran to change course on nuclear commitments
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-nuclear-start-germany/germany-urges-iran-to-change-course-on-nuclear-commitments-idUSKCN1VR14W
Notice how everyone is talking about Iran not being in compliance – but not the US pullout. This is deliberate. They want everyone to forget that it was the US that broke the deal – not Iran. This is how propaganda works.
It seems that now Iran has their attention. So what are they going to do to stop what the US is doing?
The EU will do nothing but talk and promise. Iran will continue to inch back from compliance with the JCPOA, which is all they can do.
The US and Israel will continue to up the pressure on Iran. The only question is when and how Israel will start the war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, and then how that will turn out. Then the only question will be when and how the Iran war starts. My guess is over a US naval blockade of Iranian oil tankers, but it could be over some over fomented incident.
War is inevitable unless Trump grows a backbone which is unlikely.
Meanwhile, here is how the expected Israeli attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon is shaping up nicely:
Pompeo said to warn Lebanon that Israel could strike Hezbollah missile factory
https://www.timesofisrael.com/pompeo-said-to-warn-lebanon-that-israel-could-strike-hezbollah-missile-factory/
You know – the factory that Nasrallah said doesn’t exist because they already have all the weapons they need. Which is probably true, because if they have the estimated 50-100,000 missiles, there must be at least one missile in every Shia building and underground bunker in Lebanon.
Note this paragraph which proves Israel is preparing a new war:
According to a Monday Channel 12 news report, Israel was ready to launch
a massive retaliation against Hezbollah’s precision missile program in
Lebanon, and only opted against carrying out that plan because no IDF
soldiers were hurt in a Sunday cross-border attack by the terror group.
The last time israHell attacked Lebanon it didn’t go quite to well for those “chosen” ones. It will bode very bad for Netanyahu if he launches any invasion anywhere except perhaps Washington DC. Since Washington DC already surrendered to the Zionist, who cares?
Pompeo and others in Wash. believe Iran is referred to in the Bible as the, “kings of the east.” Which will move against Israel in “the last days.” Some in Wash. are willing to manufacture Armageddon to hasten the return of J.C. You can’t understand mid east policy without knowing the crackpot eschatology those in Wash. believe.
In reality, EU Nations Must Take ‘Decisive Actions’ Against US to save this world…
Take a hike you imperialist twat!
pompous needs a reboot on his failing war brain cells.
