#1 Well, there is always the possibility that the US will just have to say "sorry" to protecting western Europe from Iranian nuclear missiles. The eastern European nations still would have anti-missile protection, but unless western Europe agrees to defend itself against the Iranian threat, then the US must sorrowfully let it accept the consequences of its actions. I wonder how the people of western Europe would feel having the threat of nuclear annihilation over their heads once again?

#2 Europe has the most to lose, besides Israel, if the BTs get a nuke. As long as the BTs threaten Israel alone, EU doesn't give a rats ass. That is the bitter truth. #1 post has it right as far as Europe goes. The US does the heavy lifting with respect to defense and keeping the seal lanes open in the ME.

The danger is if the BTs get a nuke, they can give it to proxies. The BTs know that we are divided and so they are moving ahead full steam. They think that they got us, and so far they have. We will either have to tip them over by a popular uprising with some help from SOF, decapitate the leadership, or take out the nuke sites. Or maybe a combination of all three. This is one of the nastiest problems we will face in the WoT. If we can get Iran taken care of, the Saudis will be isolated and they will change or cave. This is big time stuff, and most people do not know it.
