This is how they think. Once one of the Oligarchy's plans has been successfully implemented, it should not be changed.

Once one of the Oligarchy's plans has been successfully implemented, it should not be changed.

Hence the word globalist. Trump is fighting largely alone, both internationally and domestically.

[gasport]

Did anything, anything good come out of the Obama Administration?

Anything?

So this puts their remarks in context. To them, PDJT had to be crazy to repudiate the Iran “deal.” No, in fact he was the one to say the emperor was unclothed. To the diplomats, it was all about the process. The content matters not. Picture Neville Chamberlain with his deal in hand.

[KarlInOhio]

To bad President Trump couldn’t have fully reversed Obama’s deal and taken back the pallets of cash we gave them.

[kabar]

Now we know the reason for the leak of the Ambassador’s cables. I see Kerry and Obama’s hands in all of this. They are pissed that Trump got out of the Iran deal.

[nathanbedford]

an act of diplomatic vandalism, seemingly for ideological and personality reasons — it was Obama’s deal.

Ambassador Darroch's quoted statement is flatly untrue. Trump made plain his objections to the Iran deal which included: 1) it permitted them to get an atomic bomb over time; 2) it did not prohibit them obtaining ICBMs; 3) the inspection regime was inadequate even during its lifetime. 4) there was no check on Iran continuing to foment terrorism.

The ambassador might have culled these reasons from prevalent news reports but instead he chose to psychoanalyze the president's motives.

This whole episode reveals the common mindset between leftists in America and the prevailing establishment throughout Europe. The atmosphere was so tainted that the ambassador who should be tasked only to forward genuine intelligence felt comfortable resorting to Charles Schultz' style psychoanalysis. The same atmosphere obtains in England and explains why Boris Johnson had to to climb down from his lack of support for the ambassador

"Iran deal."

It was never a "deal", except for Iran.

It wasn't a treaty, or anything close. It was a payoff.

Billions in pallets of cash and gold. Billions, not millions.

Obama actually went on TV and said he couldn't send electronic transfers to Iran. He did this after it was discovered he sent them pallets in cash (there were actually more flights after this that the media did not know about).

https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/08/iran-ransom-payment-barack-obama-tried-be-sneaky/

The cash that was sent was not traceable.

Want to guess who got a "cut" of the cash and gold?

[TalBlack]

Yeah, right, no one had anything bad to say about the Iran deal till Trump came along.

[bert]

——And the American government had no plan for what would follow.-——

There was a secret plan that is presently functioning very well

The essence of the plan:
Iran must capitulate or be beset with very painful circumstances. For President Trump the plan outcome was a win win fork.

Although Iranian denuclearization is harped on, an equally important or perhaps more important goal is the destruction of Iran’s program of terrorism and out and out war by surrogates. The heavy sanctions have severely impacted that capability by drying up the money to fund the program.

The article mentions a brit diplomat trip to Japan. Trump rescinded the japanese sanction waiver and others on Iranian oil sales. He then made a diplomatic coup by providing replacement oil at a good price from the GCC and USA. That little piece of diplomacy was beyond the comprehension and grasp of a stodgy Brit diplomat.

That diplomacy was also a win win. Iran lost the sale and the GCC coalition allies and usa gained sales. Japan was pleased to assist and ended up no worse off.

This series of diplomatic and purely business very destructive attacks on Iran are never given the credit for the enormous inpact effected. Trump literally screwed Iran to the wall while pleasing the coalition and their mutual customers.

The above is pretty much fact. What follows is supposition. We don’t know wat we don’t know. We don’t know if there is in fact an Iranian nuclear weapon program anywhere near complete. The weapon has been speculated for completion in 12 or 18 months for nearly 20 years now.

Israel and Saudi Arabia are existentially threatened by Iran. Their covert actions in Iran have wreaked havoc and are secret. We know that the program has been set back on several occassions by who knows who did the deed. There is no need to tell the world.

President Trump knows.

[DoodleDawg]

It was just hours after Boris Johnson, then Britain’s foreign secretary, returned to London from a whirlwind trip last year to try to persuade the White House to abide by the Iran nuclear accord.

So are all these leaks an attempt to weaken Johnson's attempt to become party leader and Prime Minister?

[Erik Latranyi]

Yes, the latest is that Iran is cheating because Trump pulled out from the deal.

This is the narrative that Obama/Kerry want the media to run with. The British are fully on board.

Unfortunately, the media and UN published stories in 2016 about Iran cheating on the Obama nuclear deal.

Stories like this one:

Trump showed up in a town where up is down and black is white. A town where the U.S. joined a Paris accord on Climate Change which levied huge fines on the U.S. but did nothing to major polluters like Russia and China. A town where we give nuclear weapons to Iran in return for vague promises of peace. A town with highly unfair trade policies to everyone from China to Mexico.

Trump’s big crime was to put things back in it’s rightful place but his thinking went afoul of global elitists whether Democrat or Republican, whether foreign or domestic. No more Uncle Sap, thought Trump. Time for America to flex their muscles at home and abroad.

The elites wanted a metrosexual effite America that had no will and no power to do right. They had their way with Obama. They would have continued in that way with Clinton.

You have to understand this before you can understand all the venom and smears of Trump and why his base adores him so much.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Well this begins so explain why official Great Britain conspired with other allies against a US presidential candidate.

[momincombatboots]

The Europe ans SA have gotten free rides at our expense. This is their fight, not ours.
Sanctions are working, keep fighting Mr Prez.. we are behind you.

[FLT-bird]

Obama ever agreeing to that deal or to the Paris Agreement were acts of vandalism against American national interests. There is a reason he never submitted either to the Senate for ratification.

Trump just set things right.....ie he obliterated what Obama did.

[HChampagne]

Britain, with their self centered hegemony, has soiled the planet for over 200 years. The middle east, India/Pakistan, Africa, China...all indications that they do nothing but leave a world of hurt and they “fix” nothing.

[mewzilla]

Guys, check this out, from India's media, Mueller byline....

British leaks say Donald Trump axed Iran deal to spite Obama

Same article, different headline.

[MarvinStinson]

Britain’s frantic effort to save the Iran nuclear deal

[Spok]

There was no “Iran deal” to begin with. Obama’s statesmanship made Neville Chamberlain look like Churchill. Trying to undo the damage done by the globalists is a matter of national survival.

[GOPJ]

The Brits should defend their own damn oil tankers from here on out...
