But aside from discussing your trolling habits, let's look ahead.
Will the EU EFFECTIVELY blow past US sanctions against Iran? Or will they huff and puff and make a lot of noise, but quietly calculate that it would be less painful to lose Iranian business than American? (And secretly pay off the blackmailers in Iran who have, apparently, threatened to "tell all" if their don't get their hush money?) Or are they hoping to ameliorate the American position which will allow them SOME business dealing with Iran?
It's a close call. Merkel and Macron and Mogherini don't have a stellar history of standing up against the USA, why start now? OTOH, this really could represent an existential threat to some politicians.

To be fair, defining U.S. “military involvement” is tricky, partly because there are many levels of engagement between no military involvement and full-scale invasion,
More Siggy bullsh*t. I called it an invasion, not a "full-out invasion." It must really suck to have to lie most of the time to be "right" in your mind.

"full-out invasion"
Actually, the phrase was "full-scale invasion" and was used - not to respond to your post - but to illustrate the range of possible 'involvement'.
If you're going to be a troll, you need to not be so laughable at it.
SECOND is a troll because it constantly misrepresents what people post, fails to address their actual positions, and resorts to personal attacks when its brain isn't working (which is most of the time).

Don't read the words, just watch the pictures of Iran. Not what I expected and probably not what you expected either.
I thought this was interesting

What daily life in 17 million-strong, congested to death Tehran reveals is the standard of living essentially of a mid-level emerging nation. Everyone has a car, and smartphones and wi-fi are ubiquitous. In parallel, everywhere we feel intimations of a Persian civilization boasting at least a millennium of fabulous history even before Islam was born. And when we talk to the secularized intellectual elite, it’s clear that for them, in comparison, Arabs are nothing but trouble.

As long as you insist that everything is the Republicans'/ Democrats' fault, then you fail to grasp the REAL problem with American politics.
