DW: EU to Iran: Stop missile tests, assassination attempts on European soil

The EU keeps diving deeper for irrelevance and achieving it. America tries in vain to give them a back bone and the EU declines to have it.

Note to Euros:

Simply ask the Iranians more nicely. Release billions in assets, fly in a couple billion in cash and Iran will be a "comprehensive partner" or something in global peace endeavors with you.


OH,
