Discussion: Trump Set To Announce Iran Nuclear Deal Decision Tuesday

3 Likes

Given all the rancorous buildup by The Mad Marmalade Man, and all the rapacious slavering by the domestic Iran war hawks as well as Netanyahu, my bet -I might be wrong- is on his terminating the agreement. At this point, this is all about ginning up the base for November and looking ā€œtoughā€. Heā€™s already lost almost all the Democrats so he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by allowing the Trumpanzees to ā€œdrink liberal tearsā€. If he turns around and renews the agreement, heā€™ll look like a weak flip flopper.

International diplomacy as ā€œreality TeeVeeā€

Adam Schiff must have already gotten the word that Trump will scupper the agreement, else I canā€™t figure out why he made this request today.

ā€œThere is good reason to question North Korean objectives in this negotiation, but if North Korea is willing to enter into an agreement in return for sanctions relief and security, they will doubtlessly look towards the Iran nuclear deal. Should the United States withdraw from the JCPOA, at a time when all parties agree Iran is in compliance, and reinstate sanctions, North Korea could justifiably question whether the United States would honor our end of an agreement.ā€

You know he pull the plug for the attention. Then sit back and jerk off while the world trashes our country.
Itā€™s his only self exciting thing he has left.
Then the sanity will come back in drips and drabs in a month or so.
Hopefully heā€™s neck deep in Subpoenas and Indictments by then.

He frigginā€™ thinks that dumping International agreements is like
taking his ball and going home because you made fun of his hair ā€”

I swear ā€¦ The Country wonā€™t be able to advance anything worthwhile
in the world cause the world knows that we canā€™t be trusted to
stick with it ----

The other possibility, which is well within the orange corpulent oneā€™s range of inanities is to work everyone up, expecting withdrawal and then, tomorrow, announce that heā€™s reluctantly going to renew the agreement for another year, because heā€™s such a magnanimous kind of guy, while continuing to saber rattle, bluster, threaten and fart in Iranā€™s general direction. This would keep his Nobel peace prize fantasy alive. His base wonā€™t care. Whatever he does is by definition, wonderful and beautiful. Any negative blowback would be from Bibi in Israel and Tom Cotton, and friends in the US.

Someone else suggested that he may decide that heā€™ll punt the JCPOA to congress. If he does this, itā€™s as good as withdrawing from the agreement. It will likely die there and the ochreous ogre can then wipe his hands of it, blaming congress for any blowback in the future.

Trumpā€™s Razor dictates heā€™ll withdraw. Thatā€™s still my bet.

You bring up an excellent point about the Nobel Peace prize. He scuttles the Iran deal and he can kiss that puppy gā€™bye.

Well, it is certainly working - we are all wondering what Donald is going to do next. Will he or wonā€™t he? Tune in to find out. The ratings are going to be through the roof, and his picture will be everywhere even more than it is now. Like a rat with a lever that dispenses food pellets, Trump just hits it and hits it - lonely sad crazy manchild running the country.

Throw in a few F-16s and F-22s Bibiā€™s way and heā€™ll shut up for now.

He was never going to get it anywayā€¦ no way Scandinavian academics would give this jackass the prize, if only on principle, even if his actions did have anything to do with the Korean diplomatic advancement.

What is really going on here? The Iran nuclear deal also was negotiated by the UK, Russia, France, China, Germany and the 27 countries of the European Union collectively. All were on board with the donā€™t trust and verify approach. The two biggest opponents to the deal, Israel has the bomb and if Saudi doesnā€™t have yet, it wants its own nuclear program. Something like half of violent conflict on the planet takes place in the Middle East and western Asia, even if its only about 20% of the global population. Seems like creating a nuclear-free zone as in other places would be a diplomatic goal, but this is the opposite. I would ask what is the logic of introducing more nukes into the worldā€™s most violent areas? Is it as simple as allowing oil companies to retain a panic button against too-low oil prices, or something complex and inscrutable?

I heard a Representative on TV yesterday, canā€™t remember who it was. She basically said that she opposed the Iran deal when it first came up because she didnā€™t think it did enough. However, she thinks pulling out of the deal now, when Iran is obviously abiding by the rules and showing good faith is monumentally dangerous.

Donald Trump keeps braying about how he will ā€œMake America Great Again,ā€ and yet day after day he further embarrasses us as a nation, and with this decision, and his decisions about immigrants and refugees, he is turning the United States into a ā€œshithole country.ā€ He must be blocked.

Truly, impeaching, nullifying, and/or blocking this man may indeed help to return America toward greatness.
