MAGA: The JCPOA should be terminated because Iran is not holding their end of the bargain. Although no evidence of them not.
Also MAGA after JCPOA terminated: Wtf Iran is close to having a nuke and they must be stopped!
You can't make up MAGA dumbphuckery!

by congress. Obama (nor Biden) could never get even enough Democrat votes when Dems controlled both the House, the Senate, and the WH.
Obama was warned by congress that it was a fools errand to trust Iran and allow an untrustworthy UN to oversee the compliance. He was told that JCPOA should never, ever be honored beyond his administration because it would be disallowed the moment Dems were out of office.
In all previous instances where an Adm was looking out for its' country, that would have meant that the deal would not go forward. But never underestimate the Obama ego.
But with great hubris, Obama did it anyways because he was worried about having a great foreign policy legacy and he is Islamocentric in his policies - being favorable to Islam and seeing Israel's nuclear capabilities being an imbalance in the Middle East.
The foolish JCPOA presidential edict of Obama (note again that it was NEVER a treaty ratified by congress) was indeed ended as we knew the Iranians would play this to their advantage as long as they could. The got pallets of cash from Obama and unfrozen assets from previous violations. Biden unfroze more of their assets.
Now Iran seeks to assassinate former president Trump, and it has also hacked Trump's campaign and given it to Harris' campaign to help the Dems win. They foment war in the ME with aid to Hezbollah and Hamas as well as attacks on Israel.
Our enemy supports the Democrat Party strongly, and your party courts their votes as well...that should tell you something.

Anything else?
THE FACTS: There was no $150 billion payout from the U.S. treasury. The money he refers to represents Iranian assets held abroad that were frozen until the deal was reached and Tehran was allowed to access its funds.
The payout of about $1.8 billion is a separate matter. That dates to the 1970s, when Iran paid the U.S. $400 million for military equipment that was never delivered because the government was overthrown and diplomatic relations ruptured.
That left people, businesses and governments in each country indebted to partners in the other, and these complex claims took decades to sort out in tribunals and arbitration. For its part, Iran paid settlements of more than $2.5 billion to U.S. citizens and businesses.
The day after the nuclear deal was implemented, the U.S. and Iran announced they had settled the claim over the 1970s military equipment order, with the U.S. agreeing to pay the $400 million principal along with about $1.3 billion in interest. The $400 million was paid in cash and flown to Tehran on a cargo plane, which gave rise to Trump’s dramatic accounts of money stuffed in barrels or boxes and delivered in the dead of night. The arrangement provided for the interest to be paid later, not crammed into containers.

and you, of course are never right.
In fact you proved us right. The fact that you cannot discern these two things is very telling.

inflicted wound by a dumbass. Whether we should have entered into it in the first place is another question. We had though and the Orange doofus just threw away everything we HAD gotten from it which was a nuke program moratorium. War monger.
Iran is living in the ninth century. There is no reasoning with them. I always assumed they were playing us… no matter what”evidence” anyone “discovered.”
Fundamentalists believe that this is the literal, unerring word of God who had a chosen people, often directly intervened to smite folks he didn’t like, and didn’t like the Gay people he had actually created. How different are we from them? Plenty of Iranians believe the Mullahs are a crock of shit as many here feel about the Fundamentalist Christians.
But that was SOPin the world of tribes… that the Mullahs still live in

Dem propaganda minister.
to do...i.e. weaken America both domestically and internationally...and he certainly didn't want the U.S. and Iran to normalize relations....for further evidence search for the Atlantic Council article entitled "Russia secretly feared the Iran nuclear deal...Here's why"
btw, Iran is not 100% behind the regime currently in charge...it is not a monolith politically, by any means.

Question: Do you believe that the JCPOA would have stopped Iran from developing a nuclear weapon? (You might want to think about that before answering.)
I won't answer your question until you can provide ANY kind of article or news report that Iran was enriching uranium under the JCPOA.
Apparently you are unaware that the JCPOA wouldn't stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. There is a reason Democrats never even tried to convert it into a treaty. It wouldn't have stood the light of that level of analysis.
If Iran were honorable and trustworthy (what do YOU think about that?), it would have, at best, delayed their nuclear weapons program...until about now.
Democrats (Clinton with N.Korea & Obama with Iran) reversed the US policy of non-proliferation.
on doorstep of getting a nuke, should we fight a war with them to stop it? Cause that decision is the ultimate result of the repudiation.

their efforts? Pretty simple question. Quit dancing.
Hard deceisions. And I never ran for president. If I had been president, i would've been an executive, surrounded by people i trust giving me options.
I don't have that now.
But the easy decisions were made wrong by the Left...like funding Iranian terrorism. So, stop dancing...would you oppose the pallet of cash?
Probably too late now regarding non-proliferation.. The Saudis will have the bomb soon. Things will get interesting then. We can only hope they use it against each other before they use it on us.
Obama never gave it a thought, though. He wanted to give back to the "colonized" nations. He was not a liberal. He was an anti-colonialist dressed in liberal clothes to gain and retain power. But, anti-colonialists don't fit easily on the left-right spectrum, so most leftists and rightists didn't understand what Obama was doing.
need to be made.
The cash though...do you oppose paying a pallet of cash to Iran? It's an easy thing to oppose, but you are dancing away from it. Quest thinks it is a great idea, no doubt. What about you?
Orange guaranteed it will need to be made in the immediate future. Wonder what our anti war monger president, if elected would do?
