What actually changes besides US putting in sanctions and Iran kicking out inspectors? I don’t see Iran withdrawing from the non-proliferation treaty. I don’t see Israel bombing anywhere inside Iran, maybe some strikes on Syria. Iran’s goal is probably like Japan’s to be nuclear ready without having weapons on hand.
Expected. Trump has a pattern. He love to complain (the most horrible deals), break it up, then repeat. Notice what's missing - the better deal that he promises. Dude is a breaker and haven't a clue how to fix anything. On a side note, NK is paying attention. This cannot help with their confident that US will honor and stick to an international deal.
Sanctions is not going to work without international cooperation. Quite delusional for this Admin to think (if they are thinking) that sanctions can be back to where it was. Not sure what will happen now. Iran's more extreme group will probably now push for kicking out the inspectors and to restart of their nuke weapon program (in secret). Nuke risk went up. Risk of not seeing what they doing goes up. Risk of bombing goes up. Risk of war goes up. If you are war happy, this is good.
The Europeans had already decided to give up on sanctions when this deal was struck. That's why we have the deal to begin with. The US can sanction Iran all they want, but Europe has basically made it clear they are moving on. So Iran will do business with Europe and potentially advance their nuclear ambitions without consequence unless the US is ready to go to war.
Highlight below. Why didn't he speak up earlier? Okay, it wouldn't matter with Trump. Of course, he is still lying about the $100B repayment / release of Iranian frozen assets (of which the US held about 2B).
If this were any other president, I'd at least have some degree of belief that they'd reached their conclusion after a period of informed thought. Instead, I'm going to get President Trump riffing on the phrase "bad deal" for 10 minutes and John Bolton daydreaming about another disastrous war in the Middle East. I agree with @txtony - why should North Korea believe any deal it enters into the American government?
Obama couldn’t because the GOP Congress is hot garbage. They almost failed on their own tax reform despite having a majority and the president.
The Republicans in congress had no interest in giving Obama any sort of victory and you know it. It's funny though how you considered that to be executive overreach but have no problem with the current idiot president who signs executive orders left and right and hands out pardons like candy.
The more I think about this, the dumber it is. So basically, hey we will give you a bunch of money, and you slow down your Nuke program and allow inspectors inside. /gives bunch of money Bad deal! We are withdrawing. Now Iran has the money and has no restrictions on Nuke development. Literally the stupidest thing we could have done.
Look at the no-results liberals trying to offer foreign policy advice to Trump. Just LOL. Trump de-nuclearized the Korean peninsula. By contrast, Obama was an unmitigated foreign policy disaster - possibly the worst President of all time in this regard.
LOL....u are delusional. NK is playing the long game. The Olympics was a catalyst for them to talk with the South. However, NK is probably looking for an angle to invade the South.
