I think the Ayatollah's closest neighbors have the most
to worry about from his missiles and nukes, if any.
Several years ago the nascent EU began talking about
having their own military instead of NATO, and the US
moved heaven and earth to prevent this development.
I suppose after that wriggle of autonomy they have
lapsed back into their passive Cold-War posture of
yesteryear for the time being. However, that will not
last forever. And I would not want to be among those
who caused the Germans to feel uneasy.
