Comment on Shart of The Deal

People keep ignoring the fact that Obama struck a deal with Iran that stopped their nuclear weapons program.
Trump killed american troops to get a deal that’s worse than the one we already had.

I think it was Letterman who asked Obama why Trump had it in for him.
“I don’t know, he’s been like that ever since we were kids together back in Kenya.”

He couldn’t handle the fact that a black guy bombed more brown kids than him.

The JCPOA (Obama‘s deal) wasn’t perfect and didn’t stop a nuclear weapon or nuclear enrichment for Iran. At best it delayed it for a decade. It also didn’t do anything about Iran ballistic missile program.
In fact the same year the JCPOA was signed, Iran built a big public clock counting down to Israel‘s destruction in Palestine square. It would reach zero the year the JCPOA ended. So much for their peaceful intentions.
The JCPOA only kicked the can down the road with the hope of a more sane government in Iran later on.

And Donald Trump swore up and down that Mexico would pay for the Wall.

Well the Iranian regime calls for the death and destruction of Israel daily and has for decades. They also have actively armed Hezbollah and others, as well as launched ballistic missiles at their cities.
This is some silly rhetoric. It’s core to their Islamist ideology. They mean it.

The GOP has said that lower taxes for the rich will solve all of americia’s problems.
People in power will say anything to keep going.

Sounds like right-wing misinformation to me.
Just as a casual fact check, the JCPOA was signed into law in 2015 and the clock in Palestine square appeared in 2017

So what has improved about the situation since Trump threw out the JCPOA?
“Not perfect” doesn’t mean it wasn’t batter then the current situation.
Samskara@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
The JCPOA wasn’t great and mostly kicked the can down the road. Trump made the situation worse because he made diplomatic efforts much more difficult.
The core issue is Iran‘s fundamentalist regime and their destructive desires and actions. That’s not Trump‘s fault. It’s an extremely difficult issue, that would have led to war sooner or later, without Iran changing their policies.
tl;dr Trump bad. Iran worse.

So it would be accurate to say: despite JCPOA not being perfect, Trump’s actions have only made the situation worse than if he had left the previously existing agreement in place.

Prolly the same reason mainstream media “forgot” to mention Operation Cyclone back in late 2001 and early 2002, or how they intentionally swallowed the screamingly obvious bullshit of “Iraq has WMDs”

Because western mainstream media has been captured by the same interests who are betting on oil futures right before Donnie Dipshit tweets about it
