GREAT news!
May. 8th, 2018 05:19 pm<< President Trump on Tuesday announced plans to leave the Iran nuclear deal, declaring the pact has failed to halt the country’s nuclear ambitions in perhaps the biggest foreign policy decision of his administration. Speaking at the White House, Trump said: “I am announcing today the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.”
....
"This was a horrible, one-sided deal that should have never ever been made," he said. “... The Iran deal is d...efective at its core.”
The Treasury Department said a restoration of some sanctions will go into effect after a 90-day countdown, with the rest kicking in after a 180-day wind-down period. Once sanctions are re-imposed, the U.S. effectively would be out of the deal.
“At the heart of the Iran deal was a giant fiction, that a murderous regime desired only a peaceful, nuclear energy program,” Trump said Tuesday. “Today, we have definitive proof that this Iranian promise was a lie.” >>

It is worth noting that this deal was greatly desired by Obama from the get-go. Even before his first inauguration, Obama was sending a message to Iran that he is on their side. He practically begged the Iranians to meet with him. He gave them tons of money, sent cash by air. The Democrats loved this deal, though, sometimes, they had no more to say than, "_Something_ has to be done!" This deal was a combination of stupidity and treason, and the simplest way to explain it is to say that Obama was deliberately seeking to weaken the US international position.
And now this is over, and sanity prevails. Good job, Mr. President!
By the way, as far as I can tell, Mr. Kerry contributed to this in a significantly positive way. ![]()
