Trump, the Wimp

[mellincf]

Trump has punted the Iran deal over to Congress. Trump’s long-anticipated speech about the deal was a threat aimed not at Teheran, but at London, Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Beijing, Moscow and Capitol Hill. Either renegotiate the JCPOA internationally and bolster it congressionally or “the agreement will be terminated,” Trump pledged. Except not by him.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which verifies the deal, reiterated Iran’s undisputed compliance with the deal. Since every single person except, of course, Trump and his idiot Fox-brainwashed followers think it is a decent treaty, Trump decided not to decide and sent it to Congress, which is not impressed.

After Trump’s speech, Senator Cardin blasted Trump in a statement for having “manufactured a crisis.”
Since Trump could have decided today to pull out of the deal, Cardin said Trump was “abdicating his leadership role to Congress.”

“We will not buy into the false premise that it is Congress’ role to legislate solutions to problems of his own making,” Cardin added.

Almost immediately after Trump’s Friday speech, the European Union’s top diplomat rebutted Trump. Federica Mogherini, a JCPOA negotiator, called it an “international” deal, not for any single country to renegotiate, throwing cold water on Trump’s demand to open the deal back up for adjustment.

The countries she was making an impassioned plea for all have economic enterprises as a result of the so called Iran deal.
The financing all from the US treasury......they all are more concerned about losing their business connection than they are about the evolution of another nuclear terrorist.

The Iran deal opened up the sale of Iran's oil on the world market. Naturally the Koch brothers resent this competition. The Koch brothers own the Canadian XL pipeline -that same pipeline Canada won't let go through its land to much closer ports in Canada. So the Koch brothers are bringing it clear across the USA, over our clean water supplies, to get their oil to the Gulf of Mexico so it can be sold overseas. They have spent millions on our politicians to be against the Iran deal (Tom Cotton got a million) and on Fox to misrepresent the entire treaty. That treaty was signed by seven nations and took years to conclude.

And Iran has never invaded another country in its entire history. Iran is surrounded by nations with nukes and knows it would be suicide to shoot one off. We have military bases ringing Iran.
