Also, as the Washington Examiner laid out in a Jan. 8 editorial, it is important to note that the since-scuttled deal’s greatest flaw was that even if Tehran adhered strictly to the agreement, it did nothing to address Iran as a conventional threat.
“The Iran deal was not disastrous merely because Obama accepted a ludicrously weak inspections protocol, although he did. It was awful because, even if the deal were followed to the letter, it still enabled the regime to become a more powerful conventional threat by providing the mullahs with the money to pursue terrorism and the freedom to develop ballistic missiles,” the editorial reads. “Furthermore, restrictions imposed by the deal would have started to sunset after 10 years, meaning the terror state still maintained its long-term ability to develop nuclear weapons.”
And who loves you and who do you love????
Unlike Republicans, Democrats can lie as much as they like and the MSM will do their best to make them look honest.
Fundamental to understanding how this would work is the realization that North Korea was a full partner with Iran in the development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles and NK was the job shop that supplied Iran with all that the nuclear materials and weapons grade uranium the Obama agreement supposedly temporarily halted Iran's development and production of.
As we saw in 2017 , North Korea had already made breakthroughs in their ability to manufacture and deploy nuclear weapons via ballistic missiles. What Iran and North Korea both needed was big money and access to Western nuclear technology, instrumentation, hardware plus know how and manufacturing technology to implement and deploy their nuclear weapons.
All of these items needed to scale up their nuclear weapons to a military force were explicitly given to them via Kerry and Obsma
Iran had full access and co ownership of NK nuclear programs. Pres Trump shut down North Koreans nuclear program which made a mess of their schemes to acquire Nuclear ballistic missiles
