Why A Yes Vote For The Iran Nuclear Deal Is A No-Brainer

They didn't try, they did. How did we find out? One way was they turned off the monitoring cameras. I don't believe it gets any BETTER than that.

Flighty wants the treaty passed to find out what's in it. But its meaningless anyway, the sanctions have been lifted thanks to Obama taking it to the UN and getting it approved. The "snap back" sanctions are a joke. Russia and Iran already are dealing for missile systems. Again, my guess is that one year from no major provisions of the treaty will be fulfilled on Iran's end.

3) NK doesn't escalate other marginal nations to get a bomb, their neighboring countries either have a bomb or are allies with folks that would retaliate for them.
4) NK having the bomb doesn't put a $10 premium on each barrel of oil

There are many others. To accommodate your poor reading comprehension, I only listed four.

By threatening us do you mean that we do not have total control of their government like we did pre 1980? ....when they were our ally.

Right now stability in the region should be our goal. We have a common goal in that regard. The Iraq fuck up will take a long time to fix. This nation building Democracy in that region did not work, was never going to work and was Fool's Gold for you folks that still seem to think it was a good idea.

You act as if we had a chance at getting a better deal and there's no evidence for that. Originally Posted by WombRaider

And to think of Trump negotiating with Iran makes me fucking laugh. These are not real estate deals, dumbass. And to think they have anything in common is to be naive.

Trump is leading in the polls because of mouthbreathers like you. He gets you all tingly saying the shit you want to hear. Go load up his latest stump speech, grab the lube and have a great time.

I don't oppose the deal. I oppose the lies about it. The only good thing about the deal is that it reduces the chances that we will go to war with Iran. That's good enough for me. And I don't care if they get a nuke. The only country in history to use a nuke other than in testing is the USA. Iran is only a threat because we keep poking at them. If we would cultivate trade instead of meddling, they'd be a very strong ally in the ME. But wars and rumors of wars is what keeps the cash flowing to the banks and Big Business. There is no profit in peace.

This deal was put together and approved by the U.N. security council. It will move forward with or without U.S.A. approval. That is the purpose of the United Nations.
