Trump plans to declare that Iran nuclear deal is not in the national interest

Source: Washington Post

President Trump plans to announce next week that he will “decertify” the international nuclear deal with Iran, saying it is not in the national interest of the United States and kicking the issue to a reluctant Congress, people briefed on an emerging White House strategy for Iran said Thursday.

The move would mark the first step in a process that could eventually result in the resumption of U.S. sanctions against Iran, which would blow up a deal limiting Iran’s nuclear activities that the country reached in 2015 with the U.S. and five other nations.

Trump is expected to deliver a speech, tentatively scheduled for Oct. 12, laying out a larger strategy for confronting the nation it blames for terrorism and instability throughout the Middle East.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, knew that if one nuke got launched, they ALL got launched, from everybody who has them. Nobody with nukes is going to be a sitting duck. There is NO such thing as a limited nuclear war.

It is the depth of stupidity and ignorance to think that the countries of the world are just going to be okay with the radiation, fallout, refugees, economic collapse, etc., that just dropping one little nuke on some little country somewhere would produce. Not to mention the INSTANT moral outrage; most people on this globe still buy into that Golden Rule stuff. It is the height of arrogance to think that the rest of the world would or could do nothing about it and just sit back and be okay with it.

But that is Donald Trump: stupid, ignorant, and arrogant.

We are officially doomed with the lunatic fringe now running the country but the Dow is up so who gives a fuck if there is a maniac in the WH as long as they cut corporate taxes (which congressional Democrats will support in the end after the posturing is over).

I really need to stop paying attention since there is absolutely nothing to be done to stop since as we are no longer a functioning democracy.

Please ban me so I never waste my time posting here in the future so the truth is the Democratic Party leadership is a complete and abject failure, fuck Hilliary, fuck Chuck and fuck Pelosi too. That is all, signing off.

Bolton recommend nukes?

I think he wants to bully Iran into acting out in some way that will justify us wiping them off the planet.

Regardless of what happens NONE of this had to happen, there was a way to avoid it.

He has made clear that he is just as happy to walk away from deals and turn his back on his obligations as President as he was willing to do so when he was just a loud mouth developer and swindler.
