The utter stupidity and dishonesty of the Republicans has basically guaranteed that there will be a nuclear war within 10-15 years, possibly a lot sooner. Iran is going to get nukes, lots of them, plus ballistic missile capacity to the Western Hemisphere. Who here thinks that the Saudis and Egyptians are going to sit still and watch Iran dominate the entire Mideast? Not me...they will quickly start their own programs. Israel will possibly strike Iran before it obtains significant capability, and will definitely arm itself even more heavily. With Russians and Iranians in Syria (now - who knows where else they’ll be in a few years), ISIS still running around, Hezbollah with 100,000 rockets (and the Iranians have promised them guidance packages that will make them accurate), etc., etc. - you are looking at many wars in that area, most of which will involve nuclear powers. Not a recipe for everyone over there sitting around a campfire singing “Kumbaya.” Oh, and just a reminder, much of the world’s oil reserves are concentrated around the Persian Gulf, the availability of which the literal survival of billions of people depends.
All because the Republicans enabled Obama via Corker, and are afraid to confront Obama - and most specifically because RIGHT NOW Mitch McConnell refuses to take yesterday’s House resolution and run with it - to state in unequivocal terms that “this is a treaty” and to schedule a vote in the full Senate. Do you think that Harry Reid would hesitate for a second to do that if the shoe was on the other foot?
This whole tragic set of events shows, more than any other single thing could, why Donald Trump is likely to be the next POTUS - because the Republicans don’t have the integrity or the guts to do what they promised.
Phuck them, phuck ALL of them - they will ALL have blood on their hands, and I hope that if that comes about that they all meet Justice (and that doesn’t mean the DOJ).
