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



Its like comparing crap to diarrhea

The Iran Deal is complete shit for everyone except Iran as is. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for Trump to make good and just reinstate the sanctions but it wouldn't shock me to discover this is saber rattling to renegotiate a more favorable deal.

I'm very OK with this, to be honest. But I have a special reason: Macron already said this exact thing was about to happen in his April 24 speech. And he said he was supportive. He said France wouldn't leave the current agreement, but he would absolutely sign a better one if Trump could get it. And I am betting the man can hedge this into getting us back into the Paris Accords by supporting Trump's move on Iran.

Ten years of their free development of the infrastructure surrounding nukes and everything but centrifuges and enrichment, along with ten years of pumping resources into them from oil profits.
Would it be easier to pressure Iran with sanctions, spycraft, assassination, hacking and military force now, or after their program is well established? It would be a lot harder to pick apart.
The Saudis aren't developing nukes and won't need to. As soon as Iran is nuclear armed, Saudi Arabia gets its nukes from Pakistan, that's the old myth everyone repeats and its probably true. But then what happens with the rest of the middle east?

The Israelis have good reason to want to be meat shields rather than watch nukes crop up in every arab and persian country


I can see the campaign ad:

Why wait 10 years? Let's go to war with Iran now. Trump 2020.

If he wanted to renegotiate he would've stayed in the deal. The next president will have to clean up his mess.

Or helping people get out of debt so they can actually save, which is the case for the larger number of Americans.

Inflation is great for debtors, but unfortunately inflation rates are too low right now.

edit: what our economy needs right now is a negative prime rate and 4% inflation.


Moar inflation because irresponsible people can't pay their debts

Was one of his campaign promises so wasn’t overly surprised by the move.


Lucky for us one of his promises wasnt to kill the first born child of all Americans since he just loves to keep those promises no matter how stupid they are.

I'm suspecting usa is an enemy of the international community.


Basically this.

International community reaches a Paris agreement, the US can't play along and prefers international instability.
International community reaches Iran deal, the US can't play along and prefers international instability.
Damn bastards cannot be trusted, creating oppertunities to sell more weapons.

Obama scaping is strong with some here. I don't see the connection.

ps @ink: Trump is not gonna join Paris. more droughts is more scarsity/wars is more profit. Business man does what he does best.
