#1 So there's what? 27 more levels of 'new' sanctions before EU admits failure? Where are we at, on a scale of one to ten?

#2 I'd call it an 8, Bobby. The Iranian economy could be said to be tanking if it weren't already in the pits. And the EUros have a lot of warships in the Oil Gulf. There's been a lot of turnover in management there, mostly in our direction. If I were the MM I'd be a bit concerned about the more unified front. And I don't think their friends in Moscow have helped them with the Euros, either.

#3 If Iran thinks its stock market is in the crapper now, wait till they light off a nuke in the Dasht-e Kevir desert.

#4 I believe these new sanctions include having the ambassadors from France and Germany hitting the Iranian ambassador with their purses.

The other sanctions include cancelling the Iranian delegation's standing lunch reservations at "Tavern on the Green".

What a bunch of sissies, we should have bombed that place two years ago.
