Donald Pulling USA Out of Iran Deal

So he repealed with no plans to replace.
 
Iran Hawks Are the New Iraq Hawks

The parallels between that moment and this one are uncanny. In both cases, American leaders feared that a longtime Middle Eastern adversary was breaking free of the fetters that had previously restrained it. In both cases, American leaders pursued a more confrontational policy, which they buttressed with frightening statements about the regime’s nuclear program. In both cases, international inspectors contradicted those alarmist claims. In both cases, America’s European allies defended the inspectors and warned of the chaos America’s confrontational policy might bring. In both cases, hawks in America and Israel responded by trying to discredit the inspection regime. And in both cases, two leaders of that effort were John Bolton and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Obviously, there are differences between then and now. In 2003, the United States government wanted war. Today, it wants to undo a diplomatic agreement. In 2003, the Israeli government (as opposed to Netanyahu, who was then a private citizen) was wary of America’s confrontational policy. Today, the Israeli government is aggressively lobbying for it. But while history is not repeating itself, it is rhyming in remarkable ways. Which raises a disturbing question: How is it possible—15 years after the launch of one the greatest catastrophes in American history—that so many of the assumptions that guided America’s march to war in Iraq still dominate American foreign policy today?
 
I would not be shocked if a major ramification of Trump enforcing business sanctions towards those who do biz with Iran could be the Euro becoming the world's currency.

If Trump tries to stop companies who do biz with Iran from doing biz with the US, the EU could do the same to the US.
 
Sounds like i was right yet again and this was a political move by an uninformed President who is not honestly interested nuclear non-proliferation but instead interested solely in having his back covered politically cause he is criminal.

I’m awesome at this
