Trump Withdraws U.S. From ‘One-Sided’ Iran Nuclear Deal
By Mark Landler May 8, 2018


WASHINGTON — President Trump declared on Tuesday that he was pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, unraveling the signature foreign policy achievement of his predecessor, Barack Obama, and isolating the United States among its Western allies.

“This was a horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made,” Mr. Trump said at the White House in announcing his decision. “It didn’t bring calm, it didn’t bring peace, and it never will.”

Mr. Trump’s announcement, while long anticipated and widely telegraphed, plunges America’s relations with European allies into deep uncertainty. They have committed to staying in the deal, raising the prospect of a diplomatic and economic clash as the United States reimposes stringent sanctions on Iran.

It also raises the prospect of increasing tensions with Russia and China, which also are parties to the agreement.

7. Senator Kerry

worked off his ass for this Iran deal. Trump is such a POS. Doing what Putin told him to do let the US be isolated when other world powers will take over while our own institutions are being gutted right before our very eyes. Crap.

10. Wonder if this idiot know ls that this "deal" actually has a name

The Fox News President acting our diplomacy through a warped as fuck conservative world view...what could go wrong

[Ilsa]

11. So, now the US has no recourse in checking Iran for nuclear enrichment? nt

[workinclasszero]

14. Short of invasion and war

no.

And that’s why we will be at war with Iran soon.

[Poiuyt]

17. That's certainly what John Bolton wants

[workinclasszero]

19. Him and all his republican buddies

[Ilsa]

20. Where is John Hinckley, Jr. living now?

I'd like to write him a letter explaining how Trump and Bolton take turns fucking Jodie Foster.

[maryellen99]

[workinclasszero]

15. War in the Middle East

Nuclear no doubt as warmonger Bone Spurs thinks they have the weapons and he has indicated he will use such weapons.

What could possibly go wrong?

[BeyondGeography]

16. One-sided?

We get to have as many nukes as we want and they can't have any. Yeah, raw deal.

[IronLionZion]

18. Trump/GOP increased defense spending

so they figure they might as well use it. North Korea has outsmarted Trump and Cuba is too close so that leaves Iran.

When's the last time Iran did anything to Americans? 1979?
