I’m surprised that every other signatory to the agreement, except Israel, wants it to continue for the short term economic gain that selling dual use technology to Iran brings them.
Liberals have figured out that Iran and the DPRK are a major threat and a nuclear detonation kills them too.
Liberal friends on the Left Coast are freaking out .
Hearing them ask “Why can't we shoot down an incoming ballistic missile and why don't we have a system in place to do so”
Why, indeed.
They profess to be shocked to learn that we had a system ready to go in 2009 until Obama killed it
Democrats are figuring out that leaving us vulnerable to nuclear attack makes Clinton's 9/11 dereliction of duty look insignificant and if we do have a nuclear attack, the Democrat party is dead
.
With all his supposed “off-the-cuff” remarks and non Yale speech, he sure as hell makes good speeches. He is as forthright and clear and principled as Reagan was.
I want to know what is in all the secret deals attached to the larger deal.
The answer is: bring all of your nuclear material and weapons to this place and time for our confiscation or we turn your country into glass. We make it credible by giving the same ultimatum to NK.
Can we have our $150 Billion back now? I wonder how much of that Obama took?
Maybe someone in heaven is actually listening to us. [Of course, they are. That is why the North Korean dictator may anger China and Russia when that volcano erupts because of the North Korean dictator stupidity. You do not set off a number of Nuclear Test Explosions Horizontally for this reason.
If you stand back and admire this...it works this way.
The Senate in 2015 refused to do it’s job, period. So Senator Corker/Cardin sat and wrote a bill that says they are out of the requirement to review the treaty (something that should be impossible by the Constitution) as long as the President certifies the success of the treaty. Even Obama questioned how this was written by it passed with 99 Senators supporting it.
So as Trump decertifes this...it gives one single option (by law) to the Senate. Verify the treaty and pass it. They need all Democrats lined up and at least the two independents, McCain, Corker, and one mystery GOP Senator to pass this. The time-limit? Oh, that’s a curious thing because Corker was stupid enough to write 60-days. And the House? Don’t even bring that.
I think McConnell and Corker have a big problem. Course, if they were to play ball and get the tax reform package, the wall-construction project up, and the health-care reform package fixed up....well, there would be enough votes.
If they fail in the sixty days....the treaty dissolves only because of Senate failure...NOT Trump. The EU and the intellectuals can talk all day....but it’s a mess created by Bob Corker because no one wanted to do their job in 2015.
Yep - good article. Trump tends to ‘set the table” because he knows how much opposition there will be to anything good he tries to do - he’s doing a great job of it too.
