My take is that Germany is supplying material & tech to Iran. Merkel shut down German nukes after Fukushima. Aside from the people necessary for a proper shutdown (Takes year, I think), where did all the other Nuke employees and students go?
Also, Greens rising in numbers in Germany. I think the Fridays for Future movement is being pushed in schools. Greens now first or close second strongest party and will impact industry. German industry joined at hip to government.
Industry guys looking at Green threat and on the losing end trying to deal with Trump's finance boys. Don't think Merkel can deliver the goods. This will get ugly.
