If the Anti-Iran conference in Warsaw was the opening act, the annual
Munich Security Conference was the main event. Both produced a lot of
speeches, grandstanding and virtue-signaling, as well as a lot of
shuffling of feet and looking at the ground.
The message from the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia was clear, “We are
still committed to the destruction of Syria as a functional state to
end the growing influence of Iran.”
Europe, for the most part, doesn’t buy that argument anymore.
Germany certainly doesn’t. France is only interested in how they can
curry favor with the U.S. to wrest control of the EU from Germany. The
U.K. is a hopeless has-been, living on Deep State inertia and money
laundered through City of London.
