The Obama administration began implementing its landmark nuclear agreement with Iran with an eye toward lifting expansive sanctions imposed on Tehran in the past decade.
Concerns from opponents of the deal continued to grow, however, as senior administration officials during the weekend played down the importance of a United Nations probe into whether Tehran has attempted to secretly develop the technologies needed to build atomic weapons.
The U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, is committed under the deal to release a report by year-end about the status of Iran’s alleged weaponization work. U.S. officials over the weekend said the IAEA report would have no bearing on moves by the international community to lift sanctions.

Obama To Betray Missile Defense Secrets To Moscow
Investor's Business Daily ^ | January 9, 2012 | IBD staff
Appeasement: From ObamaCare to recess appointments, honoring the Constitution has not been an administration hallmark. But when it comes to betraying secrets to mollify the Russians, it becomes a document the president hides behind.
It was bad enough that the 2012 defense authorization bill signed by President Obama set America on a downward spiral of military mediocrity.
He also issued a signing statement, something he once opposed, saying that language in the bill aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on the U.S. Standard Missile-3 — linchpin of our missile defense — might impinge on his constitutional foreign-policy authority.
Section 1227 of the defense law prohibits spending any funds that would be used to give Russian officials access to sensitive missile-defense technology as part of a cooperation agreement without first sending Congress a report identifying the specific secrets, how they'd be used and steps to protect the data from compromise.
The president is required to certify that any technology shared will not be passed on to third parties such as China, North Korea or Iran, that the Russians will not use transferred secrets to develop countermeasures and that the Russians are reciprocating in sharing missile-defense technology. ..."
“In his signing statement, Obama said he would treat these legal restrictions as “non-binding” and that “my administration will also interpret and implement section 1244 (sic) in a manner that does not interfere with the president’s constitutional authority to conduct foreign affairs and avoids the undue disclosure of sensitive diplomatic communications.”
Betraying our secrets is easy for a president who betrayed allies Poland and the Czech Republic to placate Moscow.
Poland was to host ground-based interceptors such as those we’ve deployed in California and Alaska, with missile-tracking radar deployed in the Czech Republic.

Obama pulled the plug when Moscow objected. Never mind, he said, we have a better approach: a four-phase plan that calls for using three versions of the Navy’s Standard SM-3 interceptor missile that forms the backbone of its Aegis missile-defense system.
The fourth phase consists of a missile still on the drawing board scheduled for deployment by 2020, a version of the SM-3 called the Block IIB. It would intercept hostile missiles in the “early intercept” phase before an enemy missile could release its warheads and decoys. The Russians want the SM-3’s secrets, and Obama appears to be willing to turn them over.
The president wants to save the New Start Treaty, which the Russians have threatened to abandon if we try to fully implement President Reagan’s dream of defeating a nuclear missile attack.
Russia has unilaterally asserted that any qualitative or quantitative improvement in U.S. missile defenses would be grounds for withdrawal from the treaty.

Iran Nuclear Deal Formally Adopted
Wall Street Journal | Oct 19, 2015 | Felicia Schwartz and Jay Solomon
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3350301/posts
"New START nuclear warhead and delivery system numbers made public Oct. 1 reveal that since the 2010 arms accord went into force, Moscow increased the number of deployed nuclear warheads by a total of 111 weapons for a total of 1,648 deployed warheads. That number is 98 warheads above the treaty limit of 1,550 warheads that must be reached by the 2018 deadline of the treaty.
At the same time, U.S. nuclear warheads, missiles, and bombers have fallen sharply and remain below the required levels under the New START pact.
The United States during the same period of the Russian increases cut its deployed nuclear arsenal by 250 warheads. ..." (more...)

Hey iran,F you,
Yo obammy, you too.
That is the big concern for now.
If Iran were close to using a weapon with nuke cargo on it...I believe the IDF would handle it.
Our concern on this matter is asymmetrical.
We can knock a missile out of the sky if need be.
jmho
The part I didn’t know about is that since it’s an executive agreement, the Iran text and the US text don’t have to match like a treaty would. Clever.
Corrected.
“The Obama administration AND KGB/FSB PUTIN began implementing its landmark nuclear agreement with Iran [their] plan to assist Iran in acquiring nuclear weapons”
Lol! I need to correct myself...
“The Obama administration AND KGB/FSB PUTIN began implementing [their] plan to assist Iran in acquiring nuclear weapons”
In the Obama Regime, Congress is middle-management.
Below is the new way of looking at his Regime. Obama's at the top. Congress is the box with the hole in it. The Supreme Court is the next box over, and all the various alphabet-agencies are the next box. All the little boxes at the bottom are office drones that serve the box above it.
How did this happen? With the help of the DemocRAT Party, the Give Obama Power Party, and certain Supreme Court Justices.
ETL, I have given up. FR is full of commie influence agents and the fact that there are only the very few calling them out on it means the FreeRepublic is dead.
Commies rule this place that once used to be a forum of thoughts.
It is a complete mystery to me why these bastards (Putinistas) are allowed to remain here. It couldn’t be more clear what they’re doing.
... I will still speak against the commieshits, but I sadly say FR is no longer a place for it.
Then again, none have yet shown up on this thread. Perhaps there are too many cold hard facts to “explain away”.
Clock-Med?
We should also make it clear that we’re referring to the hardcore Putin supporters, not those that may have been swayed or duped by them into thinking Putin’s expansionism is a ‘good’ thing for the US and its allies.
The true Putinistas defend and support Putin on EVERYTHING, including his efforts to retake Eastern Europe. But I doubt even all of them are being paid by the Russians. Some are probably just out of their minds, and/or terminally stupid.
[and 85-90% of the world's Muslims are Sunni, IOW, Shiites kill twice as many per capita]
