EU lobbying for #IranDeal is premised on two falsehoods:
1) Claim that deal is keeping a lid on the nuke program, yet we can't inspect the military sites where the program likely exists
2) Claim that econ benefits are going to Iranians, yet #IranProtests city-journal.org/html/begging-b…
Reality: Pathetic moral equivalence in EU leader comments re #IranProtests casting theocratic regime and civilians as comparable, reminiscent of Obama "both sides must show restraint" gobbledygook shows just how afraid Europe is to upset #Iran's mullocracy city-journal.org/html/begging-b…
Why is EU afraid of upsetting #Iran?
1) Threats to natsec by Iranian entities/proxies like #Hezbollah at home and abroad -- #IRGC Gen Salami threatened EU could be in Iran ballistic missile range if threatened
2) Losing out on $bns.

Fear & greed. city-journal.org/html/begging-b…
EU lobbying for #IranDeal amounts to an admission that they will bear any cost to appease #Iran's mullahs, and are willing to be blackmailed and sell out the people for billions of dollars in trade, assuming theocratic crocodile will spare them. city-journal.org/html/begging-b…
Will EU and the West broadly come to realize you cannot appease evil? That in appeasing evil you only make it stronger and more difficult to defeat later on? #Iran mullocracy is banking on cravenness. We must prove it wrong or face disaster down the road. city-journal.org/html/begging-b…
In @CityJournal I explain why the EU lobbied so feverishly on behalf of #IranDeal and effectively the mullocracy itself in run-up to sanctions and certification deadlines for President Trump. Short answer: Fear and greed. This appeasement is disastrous. city-journal.org/html/begging-b…
