Yeah, Obama's Iran deal didn't involve giving them $300B in war reparations.

I mean, it seems like we're gonna be paying them fuckloads of money to do the same thing they were doing, so that's new I guess.

Yes, but this time there is no checks in nuclear. That will be decided later. They gave given their word there will be no nukes.

Strange, israel and the usa didnt believe them before when they said the same thing.

In fact, thats why there were checks, through the UN, which trump has messed up relations with, too. Its all so predictable and so incompetent.

If Iran wanted to have nukes they would have them by now. Their nuclear program was started in 1957. They have been enriching uranium for decades and yet no weapon. Now since Trump fucked them over so hard they may just reconsider.

Trump just bombed the guy that had a fatwa against nuclear bombs.

There were international inspections. The US and Israel knew that there were no nukes.

Well, yeah. Obama's deal didn't cost anything, or kill anyone.

It also improved on the status quo. Trump's made it far worse.

Besides an Epstein distraction and a favor for Netanyahu and the oil producers, I wonder how much of this murderous idiocy was was due to Trump's inferiority complex about Obama?

Also worth considering that Trump has had it out for Iran for like 40 years.

Of course it is.

This time we're paying them $300 Billion... and they don't really have any requirements to follow.

Well, it is. It is so much worse, it is worth to remind his voters about this every day.

Yeah, it's Obama's plan, plus we gave Iran $300 billion as a nice little cherry on top, because Trump is a collosal fucking moron.

Everything that involves Trump is far inferior to what Obama is or did.

And that's despite the fact that Obama was a president of only modest achievements. All it would have taken Trump is to not fuck up, and not to be fat, stupid, demented and crass.
