A viral clip of then, Senator Marco Rubio from 2015 has resurfaced, showing him laying out exactly what he believed would happen if President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal went into effect. A decade later, much of what Rubio warned about appears to have come to pass. Now, with Rubio serving in the Trump administration, the United States is approaching Iran in a way he argued it should have all along.

"I do want to be recorded for history's purposes before I know what is going to happen in regards to this if it goes through. Iran will immediately use the money that it's receiving in sanctions relief to begin to build up its conventional capabilities," Senator Rubio said at the time. "It will establish the most dominant military power in the region outside of the United States and it will raise the price of us operating in the region. They're going to build anti-access capabilities, rockets capable of destroying our aircraft carriers and ships. They'll continue to build these swift boats that are able to come on us, these fast boats that are able to swarm our naval assets. And they'll make it harder and harder for U.S. troops to be in the region."

Yes!
Rubio, prediction has been proven exactly.
Obama people paid huge $$$, just to slow Iran nuclear program.
Their idea was that the regime would somehow crush, before the bombs were made.
Despite all the deals, sanctions, last year attack, and Iranian people protests, the regime is still there and making missiles and bombs.
The Obama money basically paid ten years of Iran military production.
All the Iranian missiles, drones and bombs were paid as appeasement money to the regime by US taxpayers!
Think about it!
This military action should be done ten years ago!
The Obama Iran deal was border line treason. It removed sanctions on Iran that allowed them to do what they did, it gave them access to “peaceful use nuclear enrichment and power “ (which is dual use technology that can be used to make nuclear and radiological weapons) and to ballistic missile and drone technology from around the world and released billions and billions of dollars to Iran to fund their nuclear program , their ballistic. missile programs and their international terrorism
All in return for bogus restrictions on uranium enrichment intended to not to prevent , but only to delay, Iran from developing an nuclear weapon by 2025.
Which the Iranians cheated on anyway and massively increased their uranium enrichment capability.
The Obama deal actually funded and accelerated their nuclear bomb production capability so they would have the bomb technology and hardware ready to go as soon as they had access to weapons grade uranium.
And Iran did not need to enrich their own Uranium. A lot of the money they received from Obama went to fund joint ventures with North Korea to expand North Koreas nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs including North Korean uranium enrichment capabilities.
The intent all along was to use the Obama bucks to fund North Korea to produce and supply Iran with weapons grade Uranium until the Obama deal expired.
This was a great deal for both Iran and North Korea because their cash strapped, broke economies had plenty of Obama money to fully develop their nuclear arms and ballistic missile programs for the first time in their history.
And the Obama people approved of all this cheating with a wink and a nod. Once in office, Biden undid all of the Trump Administration progress and put both Iran and North Korea's nuclear weapons programs back on track and resumed funding them .
The scam was working great until President Trump took over and shut down Iran's access to to North Korean weapons grade Uranium - an action for which the world should be forever grateful to President Trump.
If it were not for President Trump, Iran would almost certainly have working nuclear weapons along with their remarkably sophisticated ballistic missiles whose development Obama funded.
In light of current events , the world would be a much different place if Iran had nuclear warheads to put on all the missiles they have fired at Israel and their Arab neighbors.
What is a near miss with a 1000 lb conventional war head is a direct hit with a nuclear warhead.
Just needs some fatigues.
‘Close’ only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and A-bombs.
They didn’t pay to slow anything down. They paid to have Iran focus *publicly* on improving their ability to deliver payloads and also paid to help Iran better *hide* their nuclear efforts. Stop repeating the Dem lies repackaged to sound better.
Trump is taking the right tactic dealing with Iran. Even with unconditional surrender, there will be ‘resistance’ attacks and we will have to deal with those very harshly. Perhaps to the point of deporting all middle easterners.
Excellent. Well delivered too.
There was nothing borderline about it. It was stealth treason, sharpening the knife to be put at our throats as executed by at least a sympathizer, if not a closet Muslim.
And to see him today...amazing man.
He’s quite a bit older, now, compared to that photo…..
That hideous monument Obama is building to himself in Chicago looks like war bunker because it IS a war bunker - just in case the SHTF while he’s in the area.
I think it needs one or two decorations hanging along the side.
See tag line.
Obama elected twice no wonder the left hates ICE so much they want more Onama’s.
There is only one reason Obama would have given Iran these billions in “sanctions relief” in cash on pallets. Because it would be virtually impossible to trace what they did with it. He not only knew what it would be used for but facilitated it.
Could you explsin, ie provide rationale, for your comment.
