So Europe’s worst fear is a nuclear middle East yet they have inoculated themselves with a heavy dose of the middle east. Stupid is as stupid dies, right.

The Guardian...the GUARDIAN. That British, Communist/Socialist paper that tells us as often as possible that Capitalism is evil...THAT GUARDIAN.

The only simile I can think of is...it’s like Cher telling us how to grow old gracefully.

No need for advise from Guardian or Cher, thank you very much.

The DC pigs simply pretended it wasn’t a treaty. It works kind of like deeming bills passed.

There’s one simple rule in life:

If the Manchester Guardian is FOR something, then one should be AGAINST it; if the Manchester Guardian is AGAINST something, then one should be FOR it. (OK, technically, maybe that’s two rules ...)

““Signed by parliamentarians from Britain, Germany and France “”

another publication pointed out that only 15% of the total parliamentarians from those countries signed the letter, meaning 85% didn’t ...

Let's see, the number of parliamentarians in:
Britain = 650 + Germany = 598 + France = 577

For a Total of = 1825 parliamentarians

So only 300 out of 1825 is somewhere between 16% to 16.5%. I'm not impressed.

Did anyone sop to remember that this agreement forced the countries in Europe to release the millions of dollars they had frozen from Iraq in an effort to stop their nuclear program that they now have in hand? And since Iran hasn’t told the truth in a century, they now are ahead of schedule to produce their own nuclear armaments? They’ve been playing this game for a long time starting in the 50’s when Iran’s nuclear program was launched with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program.

In 1981, Iranian officials concluded that the country’s nuclear development should continue. Negotiations took place with France in the late 1980s and with Argentina in the early 1990s, and agreements were reached. In the 1990s, Russia formed a joint research organization with Iran, providing Iran with Russian nuclear experts and technical information.

In the 2000s, the revelation of Iran’s clandestine uranium enrichment program raised concerns that it might be intended for non-peaceful uses. The IAEA launched an investigation in 2003 after an Iranian dissident group revealed undeclared nuclear activities carried out by Iran. In 2006, because of Iran’s noncompliance with its NPT obligations, the United Nations Security Council demanded that Iran suspend its enrichment programs. In 2007, the United States National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) stated that Iran halted an alleged active nuclear weapons program in fall 2003. In November 2011, the IAEA reported credible evidence that Iran had been conducting experiments aimed at designing a nuclear bomb until 2003, and that research may have continued on a smaller scale after that time, but in violation of the agreements they had committed to.

A detailed analysis by physicists at the Federation of American Scientists concludes that such an estimate would depend on the total number and overall efficiency of the centrifuges Iran has in operation, and the amount of low-enriched uranium it has stockpiled to serve as “feedstock” for a possible high-enrichment program. A 23 March 2012 U.S. Congressional Research Service report quotes 24 February 2012 IAEA report saying that Iran has stockpiled 240 pounds of 20-percent-enriched uranium – an enrichment level necessary for medical applications – as an indication of their capacity to enrich to higher levels.

On 13 April 2006, after US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said (on 12 April 2006) the Security Council must consider “strong steps” to induce Tehran to change course in its nuclear ambition; President Ahmadinejad vowed that Iran will not back away from uranium enrichment and that the world must treat Iran as a nuclear power, saying “Our answer to those who are angry about Iran achieving the full nuclear fuel cycle is just one phrase. We say: Be angry at us and die of this anger,” because “We won’t hold talks with anyone about the right of the Iranian nation to enrich uranium.

And now with the introduction of the funds that had been unfrozen because of the “deal” made by Obama and Clinton, they are pressing forward with their weapons program. And they will continue to lie and hide as numerous atomic organizations have discovered.

we were able to impose unprecedented scrutiny on the Iranian nuclear programme, dismantle most of their nuclear enrichment facilities, and drastically reduce the danger of a nuclear arms race.

YEP. Just like they did with North Korea.

EVERY phrase in the above paragraph is a LIE.

Open note to the Guardian: Enjoy Britianistan. Muslims just love the free press.
And women.
And goats.

We need to figure out to drive a giant wedge between Pooty-poot and the Mullahs.

How will leaving the Iran deal do that?

Exactly. How did this Corker deal manage to subvert the constitutional requirement for Senate ratification?
I dunno but never forget the self proclaimed constitutional conservative Ted Cruz signed the Corker deal.

We dodged 2 bullets the last election. Cruz and Hillary.

Cruz should never be SCOTUS based on that signature alone

“Europe wants a deal where they are eaten last... trump doesn’t play that.”

Yes, they are a kettle of frogs that are bring brought up to temperature. They’ve sucked on the tit of Socialism for so long that their only real concern is trying to preserve the welfare states they’ve built under the protection of the American military with the money they’ve saved by being allowed that protection for damned near no expense of their own. Think of how their tourism will suffer once the Muslimes take over and start blowing up the whole history of Europe to make way for more mosques.
