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 Bush’s watch.

And here we are again.

I fully expect Trump’s congressional enablers, evangelical lackeys, and fellow gun fetishists will soon be declaring, “Well, at least there are actual WMDs THIS time around”.

You also need to get a few dozen American soldiers killed to amplify the “rally”.
It’s always worked.

So Israel now decides which treaties the US will honor and which we will tear up? Is there any foreign country that can’t 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 won’t 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 1950’s.
Edit to add…
This is stone cold stupid.

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. There’s 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 it’s promises and any agreements that are made aren’t worth the ink they’re printed on.

He doesn’t even know what the agreement says. He seems oblivious to his own administration’s assessment that Iran is complying with it.

It was Obama’s deal - and that’s 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 that’s 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. Trump’s getting us closer.

There is nothing this man touches that doesn’t 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 Donald’s foot stamping tantrum and go on as before except that all of Iran’s 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.
