Entry: Regime Change Redux Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/regime_change_redux#7609 Post contents: Excellent article. Putin has made it clear that Russia will not "tolerate" any animosity against Iran, whatever that means. A strong protest in the UN? Aiding Iran with more and better weapons? Nukes? From what we've seen this far it seems that Russia will furnish Iran with more advanced weapons. There was for instance talk of an incredible new torpedo that could go faster through water than normally possible. It did this with the aid of an air bubble it created around itself. This doesn't sound like something the Iranians would be capable of constructing. Angela Merkel, a former East German card carrying communist and at the same time priviledged daughter of a protestant priest is now the top hen in the economically most powerful country in Europe. Otherwise from giving to Israel five top modern submarines, capable of carrying nuclear weapons, she has made her self known for nothing but a communist slogan she uttered in the EU assembly, "No tolerance for the intolerants". The woman is a poltroon and will go so far as she's asked to. The final limit will be when her poltroonism conflicts with her popular support among the Germans. France's Sarkozy is somewhat smarter and with much more spine. However, he is Jewish, which may (or may not) influence his decisions to favour what's good for Israel. The public opinion in France isn't too happy about entangling France in a war with Iran. I don't think that Great Britain is either, never mind the rhetoric. If the war against Iran turns out to be a punitive action, with air strikes and missiles, not including any foot soldiers, then Bush may well get all the support he wants from the Europeans, but only for a short period. Like the case with bombing Serbia. But if a real invasion, à la Iraq, is planned, which is very unlikely, then the Americans will be on their own. Sent at: 2008 05 16
