HEY, NEW YORK TIMES!!! Why do I have to go look up the terms of the 2015 Obama deal? Why didn’t you, and put them in the article?
«But all that does is begin to restore the status quo to roughly where it was on Feb. 28, when Mr. Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel launched a war to finally bring Iran’s nuclear and missile programs to an end.
So far, they have failed to achieve those goals: Iran is still in possession of more than 11 tons of nuclear fuel, including 970 pounds that is close to bomb grade — though it is buried under rubble, deep underground. An early plan to essentially stage a coup, overthrowing the government, placing a former Iranian hard-line president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, into power, never materialized.»
We had a good deal in 2015, after 20 months of negotiation and allied pressure on Iran. It restricted development of nukes and implemented a thorough monitoring program. They had to give up 98% of their uranium, and, if they didn’t, the sanctions that brought them to the table would snap back in place.
Trump didn’t like it because it was negotiated by a Black man, so he unilaterally pulled out (no one should have to be reminded of that).
Stupidest U. S. President in history. Hands down. James Buchanan, Ulysses Grant, and Warren Harding have all been displaced.
I think the U.S. electorate is tied with the British electorate for worst episodes of electoral stupidity (Trump, Brexit) evar. An abject lesson in how democracies destroy themselves.
Actually, Britain’s democracy is still in place. So I guess we rank with Hungary now, when it comes to democratically dismantling your democracy. Or Weimar Germany.
