You can't put the genie back in the bottle. Things will get ugly worldwide for years:
New reporting from Le Parisien says Goldman Sachs' Paris headquarters was placed under police surveillance on Wednesday night following threats allegedly linked to Iranian terror networks.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been more blowback already
Me too. It's ironic that Europe will probably get the worst of it.
Maybe less so if they really break from the US on this, but large American corporations are easier to hit in Europe.
Yes. It will probably be US/Israeli assets. The EU is trying like hell to distance itself from US/Israel, but there will be blowback.
What's interesting as well is how the EU expanded its powers to ramp up deportation. The mass wave of immigration during the Arab Spring uprising and subsequent civil wars/general conflicts did not go as the EU had thought it would. Now they are pivoting to "return hubs" and a freaking "deportation toolkit." The new system is, in some aspects, going further than President Trump even went with directly targeting non-removables (The new policy requires individuals to cooperate with the deportation system even if they are legally non-removable due to safety issues in their home country, with potential for increased penalties)
I agree, the U.S. had those two initial attacks (the one in Austin and the one outside the NYC mayor's house), but beyond that, it has been pretty stable, given DHS is shut down. Any sort of Iranian attack in France, Spain, or Italy would be the dumbest move since these countries are now allowing either fuel or weapons for the war to flow through their airspace or bases. Hitting any of them would only make it much more palatable for the leaders of those countries to get more involved.
