There is now absolutely no reason for Iran to stick to the deal at all because the the US will put sanctions on them. Doesnât matter that the other nations that are a party to it stay in the deal. The deal is effectively caput.
Iran will now start up their nuclear program again.
In addition, this makes any deal with NK that much harder because the US, and particularly this administration, has shown they donât stick to negotiated deals.
Mr. Obama is likely to go down in history as a rare president whose single biggest foreign policy and domestic achievements were won with no Republican votes, a stark departure from his 2008 campaign that was fueled by the promise of bridging Washingtonâs yawning partisan divide. As with the Iran accord, the health care law â passed exclusively with Democratic votes â was a policy achievement that has come to define his presidency, in part through the vehemence of its opponents in Congress.
If I used Fox for the exact same information you would say âoh, thatâs not an acceptable news sourceâ. So you are going to either say Iâm a hypocrite for using CNN or not using a reputable news source. I never said that CNN doesnât report facts, just that it is biased and uses anonymous sources too frequenly (i.e. rumors in many cases). And much more so now than when that article appeared. My biggest source of news was probably CNN until they went Trump insane.
Yes, they use anonymous sources but most editors insist that reporters often have more than a single source confirm the story. Anonymous sources arenât ârumors.â Commentators make conclusions.
As far as going âTrump insaneâ, thereâs been a lot to report. And who went insane? Remember all Trumpâs dumping on CNN during the campaign? He went âCNN insaneâ first.
If NK wants a binding commitment with the US I suggest that they follow the procedure for such agreements as established in the Constitution. They enter a treaty with the US. Anything else would be an agreement with Trump, not a binding agreement with the US.
And the same with agreements Obama made.
The letter of authorization for a treaty is the Constitution.
Yes, Grandwazoo, I agree. Trump won the election and has the right to do these things. But he owes it to us to explain in detail his thinking, plusses and minuses.
Without such an explanation, I am left to think he did it satisfy his minority base and rile up his opponents. He may have a grand strategy but his credibility and leadership are so wanting I almost always have an unfavorable interpretation of his words and actions.
Make that always. Iâve lost any objectivity about this guy.
So, when Bush made an agreement with Gadaffi in Libya and then Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama demolished it by helping to overthrow him, you donât think that ALREADY negated anyoneâs belief in the efficacy of our agreements??
And what makes you think Iran was abiding by the terms, since we were unable to inspect all of Iran and at any time we wanted to?
CLEARLY they were NOT abiding by the spirit of the agreement when they were trying to develop weapons systems - intercontinental missiles - that are only good for offensive use over great distances.
I saw him explain why he was pulling out this afternoon with his announcement. He is NOT going to telegraph what he will do going forward. That would be the worst possible negotiating strategy.
Yep the Iran deal worked out so good for everyone Iran has broadened itâs reach all over the ME and even built two bases in Syria. Worked like a charm!
