Thank you very much for this James, but unfortunately I cannot share your optimism that the European countries change their ways and views.
Being German, I am very convinced that Ms. Merkel will stand by the US this time again. Even after the revelation that CIA was spying on Ms. Merkel she did not turn against the US.
And when it comes to the European Union it is even less likely. The eastern European countries like Poland, Czech Republic or Slovakia will not turn to Asia, to Russia any time soon. Their hate towards Russia is too deep and their natural ally against the "Bad Russian" is and will be the US. And I do not see that change any time soon.
When it comes to all these European politicians shouting out against the US solo attempt to change Iran, all I can say is "barking dogs don't bite".
So, as reluctantly as I might say this, but the European countries will this time again jump when the US orders it and they will even jump into the war with Iran, even or especially when Iran gets support from Russia.
