Hypocrisy

January 17, 2020

This refers to the news report ‘European powers trigger dispute mechanism in Iran N-deal’ (Jan 15, 2020). It is pertinent to note here that the three European countries France, Britain and Germany, which are so opposed to Iran becoming a nuclear power, had no such qualms about Israel becoming a nuclear power. Decades back it was France which supplied Israel with a nuclear reactor, while Britain provided Israel heavy water and Germany very kindly supplied Israel nuclear-capable submarines.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who after leaving the EU will become even more of an American lackey, wants Iran to agree to a new ‘Trump deal’ in place of the current Iran nuclear agreement. It is quite obvious that having destroyed Iraq, Syria and Libya to their hearts’ content, these European underlings now want their master the United States to destroy Iran.
