Secretary of State Blinken is the right man for the job. If the job is to conduct foolhardy, self-destructive foreign policy and then brag about it.
That’s exactly what he did when he affirmed the commitment on behalf of the administration to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal(JCPOA).
The Iran deal was garbage and we all knew it. It was pure Pod Save America, know-it-all fist bump diplomacy and of course, it was idiotic and counterproductive. While we appeased Iran at every turn, they raised hell all over the region.
So, of course we’re doing it again.
Which brings us to Blinken who was asked if we should be dealing with the thugs in Tehran by George Stephanopoulos:
“George, Iran is engaged in a number of activities, including funding extremist groups, supporting terrorism more broadly, supporting very dangerous proxies that are taking destabilizing actions throughout the Middle East, proliferating weapons.”
WHOA!
Wait right there. Aren’t those all reasons for not dealing with Iran? You had us at “funding extremist groups,” Tony.
Ahh, you’re not thinking on Blinken’s level. Remember, these people are smarter than you.
“An Iran with a nuclear weapon ... is going to act with even greater impunity in those areas, which just adds to the urgency of trying to put the nuclear problem back in the box that the nuclear agreement put it in.”
You getting this?
Because the regime has been unabated in its reign of terror, we need to loosen sanctions or the Mullahs will do more terror.
But that’s not the point. It’s a thing we sign, a photo op and a press campaign.
You’re not comfortable giving a Shiite radical gangster nation leeway to work on their nukes while we offer them more fruits of diplomacy?
You obviously haven’t re-imagined foreign policy.
C’mon man.

Giving more aid and comfort to the enemy of the United States. That’s what ChiComjoe’s kakistocracy does best.
The Swamp does not care one wit about if something is good for America or Not. It wants those kickbacks from foreign aid! Easier to hide the transactions if done overseas.
lunacy and treason
