Russia is not in favor of leaving the JCPOA now that is is done ... this fucks them too, they mostly got what they wanted (no new nuclear weapons) while being able to paint the USA as the "bad guys".Trump has succeeded at making his master in Moscow stronger.
Wise Move POTUS.

If anyone was paying attention, they would have noticed that after Trump's Iran speech, he signed his Presidential memorandum as "David Dennison."
FWIW - vadtoy has spent most of her adult life working to get something even close to this to the table.

You guys are looking at this from the wrong angle: Obama got wrekt!
I think it's this one by Bret Stephens: A Courageous Trump Call on a Lousy Iran Deal
I am not going to claim to be very knowledgeable about nuclear arms proliferation/enrichment, etc. and really value Vad's voice (or vadtoy's voice by proxy) on these issues.
Uh oh. Now I'm really nervous. If that's all the effort Lectro is willing to put into trolling, then this must be REALLY bad.
