Like they would have considered it for a second.
The US is a militaristic society , been that. Way since WE I
Pretty much says it all about our deal maker in chief.
The Clinton Administration hammered out a non-proliferation deal with North Korea. Republicans in Congress refused to support it, George W. Bush tore it up, and North Korea built its first nukes on Bushâs watch.
And here we are again.
He just canât stand having to treat brown people as equals.
I fully expect Trumpâs congressional enablers, evangelical lackeys, and fellow gun fetishists will soon be declaring, âWell, at least there are actual WMDs THIS time aroundâ.
You also need to get a few dozen American soldiers killed to amplify the ârallyâ.
Itâs always worked.
Using the Language of Diplomacy I say, âde rien. mon ami.â
Oh, come on now, Donnie.
Youâve been making empty threats for years.
And, oh, BY THE WAY, thanks for doing what the KGB chief wants. You are a goood little asset.
So Israel now decides which treaties the US will honor and which we will tear up? Is there any foreign country that canât manipulate and control this GOP president? The deal was done, authorized by the Senate and signed by a president, but Bibi wants us to live in a perpetual state of war in the Middle East. Whatever Putin or Bibi wants Trump willing gives.
Trump says he wonât be held to nuke blackmail. So he quits the deal that prevents Iran getting a nuke⌠to trump it makes sense. But not to anyone else.
Time to renovate the bunker from the 1950âs.
Edit to addâŚ
This is stone cold stupid.
This gives North Korea yuuuuuuuuuuge incentive to sign a treaty with us now!
âTrump Withdraws From Iran Nuclear Deal.â
If only Fred had withdrawnâŚ
One big terrorist attack in the US and a massive military response by Trump and he and the Republicans will be in complete control until at least January 20, 12 Noon, 2021.
tRump is demonstrating how he runs the government like how he ran his businessesâŚreneg on deals while falsely claiming the other party failed to perform.
If I could rec this comment 10X, I would. I would say this is the turning point were Western Europe just walks away from us, most likely for good. Thereâs just no upside (to put it mildly) of ever trusting this country. Even if we get sane, rational, statesmen like Obama, the next election is gonna be a crap shoot.
And we end up here again.
ETA: And, as george stated above, this tells Kim, in no uncertain terms, that America will not keep itâs promises and any agreements that are made arenât worth the ink theyâre printed on.
He doesnât even know what the agreement says. He seems oblivious to his own administrationâs assessment that Iran is complying with it.
It was Obamaâs deal - and thatâs all he needs to know. That makes it bad. He has no concept of how long it took to get that deal done - and how little leverage we now have to get a deal thatâs anywhere close to the old one.
Netanyahu must be doing the happy dance - all he wants is war with Iran, and he needs the US to help. Trumpâs getting us closer.
There is nothing this man touches that doesnât die or turn to crap. Nothing.
Have some coffee or fruit juice or other source of potassium. Said to reduce the wear and tear on blood vessels from raised blood pressure.
As for the rest, I hear you. Best we can hope for is Iran and the rest of the world ignore Donaldâs foot stamping tantrum and go on as before except that all of Iranâs business goes to Europe. Worst? That Iran is nuclear armed in under 5 years or that we go to war on the pretext of preventing this.
Orrr⌠You are a goood littleBIG asset.
The GOP needs permission slips from Putin and Netanyahu in conducting foreign policy.
