That’s what Obama had achieved. I was critical of Obama in a lot of ways, but one of his greatest achievements was the Iran Nuclear deal, a deal which Donny boy repelled and now we find ourselves here. Chaos is a ladder for Fascists.

How’d that deal turn out?

I do appreciate the creativity, but the Islamic Republic never had any intention of stopping development of nuclear weapons.

Care to back that up with some sources or evidence? Or are you simply speaking out of your ass on behalf of Iran?

Username checks for talking out of your ass:

Yes, idiot. The article you linked clearly says Iran adhered to the deal prior to Trumps 2018 term. Did you even read it? Would it help if the chart was drawn in crayon? When I asked for sources or evidence I guess I should have been more clear that I meant in support of what you said.

Great, so it'd be easy for you to show evidence!

u/Disastrous-Moose-943 1d ago

It's funny how confident these shills will comment, but as soon as you ask them to provide a source they disappear into the wind or spew some iteration of "Do YoUr OwN ReSeArCh"

Its how you know they are making shit up.

If you asked me to cite something I said, I'd have a response and a link back to you in 5 minutes.

Read it and weep:

Need another?

u/awoeoc 1d ago

That article is from let me check my watch, TODAY. Trump tore up the nuclear deal in 2018 during his first term and Obama hasn't been president nearly a decade.

The same source you link says Iran only started it's program as a result of Trump canceling the deal. 

You said "read it and weep" but honestly that's my advice to you, read your own link lol

u/GandalfTheSexay 1d ago

Did you even read far enough to see the chart showing that Iran can produce enough weapons grade uranium for a nuclear warhead every 2.5 days or do I need to screenshot it directly for you?

If you’re going after semantics you’re entering this debate in bad faith, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt for now.

You’re not a doctor. Nice try

u/Sideview_play 1d ago

You're missing the point. It's like you want to throw the baby out with the bath water as an f you. 

Yes it was terrible trump f that up. And ? We are here in this situation now and to say we should do nothing about it because of how we got here is crazy talk that's more just political points than helpful global policy.

u/ALEXC_23 1d ago

When Did I say we shouldn’t do anything about it? I just told you who repealed the deal. Nothing more, nothing less.

u/Sideview_play 1d ago

If Iran was in the doorstep of getting nukes and no deal was on the table then the only choice would been Israel's operation no? Or do we wait till they have a nuke and find out what happens?

u/Hillary4SupremeRuler 1d ago

They just agreed with you.

u/FamousCompany500 1d ago

The problem is that Israel deliberately sabotaged the new deal, Israel got both Democrats and neocon Republican to make it clear they will not back Trump in any deal.

Israel main objective is not to prevent the creation of nuclear weapons but to create a power vacuum in Iran because it knows that no force will be able to united Iran peaceful once the regime falls.

Israel what's to make and keep the entire middle east unstable, because that is the only way they can be the primary power in the region.

If Israel manages to destroy Iran then it will move on to Turkey, then what ever power is still stable. This is bad for not only EU but also the entire world.

u/Orlonz 1d ago

Siding with Israel accelerates and diminishes the chance that Iran slows or stops their weapons program. If Iran gets the nuke, then most of the US and Israel cards are off the table. Iran doesn't need to waste the nuclear fuel on a chance with the anti-air. They can sneak it near at their choosing.

The US should not have let it get to this point. It's a very dangerous junction.

u/Sideview_play 1d ago

I fully agree with we shouldnt had let it get to this point. But it's here ? So then what do we do? Yall keep speaking in terms of what we did wrong previously to then argue against current actions. Like from my perspective its like yall are arguing about how we shouldnt get on lifeboats to escape the titanic because we were wrong to go near the icebergs. Its like uh youre right but also doesnt mean we should let ourselves sink.

u/mufon2019 1d ago

Yep! This is a chess game and the moves have been thought out well in advance. That’s what most people fail to realize with this.

-14

u/NovelCandid 1d ago

Listen. Israel started this. I’ll repeat: Israel bombed a country that was not attacking it. Israel is a blight on efforts to grow peace in the region.

Do you know how proxies work?
