Again, this has nothing to do with nuclear energy or power. It's about oil and gas infrastructure and geopolitical stability.

I think Trump is a bumbling moron, but this isn't really a bad outcome for now. The real fun starts when gas prices climb 50 cents because of it. Wonder who the GOP will blame for that.



The hippie faggots that cried about fracking putting us at the knee of iran in the first place..?

That's a pretty uninformed way of looking at it.

>more than half of congress opposed Iran Deal
>all republicans opposed Iran deal
>sizeable chunk of democratic leadership opposed Iran Deal, ie Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, etc
>even the biggest proponents in policy making circles admit its deeply flawed

so how come when I listened to NPR's broadcast today after Trump finished his announcement, they couldn't find a single voice opposing the Iran Deal to weigh in?
They did manage to bring on one of the Obama staffers involved in writing the Iran Deal.

I really don't trust politicians to review a deal like this in an unbiased manner, even a good chunk of Democrats since a good chunk of Democrats more closely align with Republicans than Democrats.

Being unbiased doesn't mean you take from both sides of the aisle, it means you take the informed side if the other side isn't. NPR isn't in the habit of feigning being unbiased by being completely neutral about everything.

I'd have to listen to the specific broadcast to know if they were really being unbiased though.

You don't, because the Obama staffer started his commentary by openly stating that he helped craft the deal and wouldn't even pretend to be an unbiased voice on it, his words.
See that's why NPR isn't as bad as CNN

Id still have to listen to it. Opinion vs informative are different reasons to have the same person on.
