Thoughts on Trump Reneging on the Iran Deal



  • Once again the Repubs are allowing Netanyahu to dictate to the US what our foreign policy is (in this case also Saudi Arabia and the UAE). That is a sign of weakness, not strength.
  • Saudi Arabia and the UAE don't really care about Iran's nuclear program. the just want to be the dominant authoritarian players in the Mideast, rather than Iran.
  • The neocons got there way here as in Iraq. We know how that turned out.
  • The US is no longer the leader of the free world.
  • Iran has abided by its part of the agreement; the US has just violated its part.
  • Trump owns it now.
