Along comes Bill Clinton. He negotiates (with the State Department's Wendy Sherman, Warren Christopher and Mad Albright) a lousy, rotten stinking deal with North Korea in 1994. The NORKS manage to drag out the negotiations for years while they build a bomb. Clinton says, the NORKS will never have a bomb and what do you know, after a few years voila! The NORKS have a bomb or two. Now they threaten all their neighbors and the US.
SANCTIONS DO NOT WORK and the US does not know how to negotiate, something Trump has been saying for years. Fast forward a few years. The Iranians who observed the NORK process with the US and West knew for certain that they could do the same thing, and they did.
Once again a Democratic President, Obama sent Wendy Sherman, Hilliary Clinton and Jon Kerry to negotiate a deal with Iran. It was concluded much to the detriment of the US and her allies but the Iranians too, dragged their feet for years while developing a bomb.
The ONLY country crying “wolf” was Israel and Israel was attacked for speaking the truth, especially B. Netanyahu.
Everybody knows Iran is lying and building a bomb but nobody has the guts to spell it out.
Fast forward to 2016:
After 8 years of President Obama alienating, chastising, publicly humiliating and damaging our ONLY, RELIABLE ally in the Middle East, Israel, Israel knew that Obama’s promises were empty. For years Obama said to Israel, “I've got your back”, “All options are on the table”, “We will not allow Iran to go nuclear”. Well, what happened? The US signed a deal that will bring the entire planet to WWIII.
and endanger Israel, the West and the USA. Obama alienated Israel, after the coup in Egypt, he alienated Egypt by supporting the Muslim Brotherhoood there. He so completely screwed over US Foreign policy gains from 1973 that then Egyptians went back to the Russians for reliable, military aid. Obama alienated Saudi Arabia, in the war with the Houti rebels in Yemen. He alienated the Kurds, he alienated the Syrian Westerners (if there really are any), he alienated the Iraqis, he alienated the Afghanis, he alienated the Libyans, he alienated all of North Africa, he alienated all Sunni nations and somewhat pro-western governments in the Arab world. He alienated the Jordanians as well. He alienated the anti-Ayatollah forces in Iran, (by not saying a word during their uprising in 2009, in Lebanon, in North Africa, in Africa itself. All these countries know that Putin will be there for his allies but Obama will not be there for his.
THIS IS A FACT. What do most of these nations have in common? They are all Sunni Muslims. Who is the Sunni's worst enemy> Shiites. Who is the world's leader of Shiites? Iran. Iran is certain to get the bomb, thanks to Obama (who we just discovered paid tens of millions of dollars to release American hostages there), ransom money.
In short, the nations abandoned by Obama are all on their own now in a volatile region and must quickly patch things up based on a common interests to stop Iran, a HUGELY MENACING and GROWING THREAT to the entire region. This is what Israel's Netanyahu has been harping on about for years while being mocked even by his closest ally, Obama. Iran is the number one sponsor of terror in the world today along with ISIS.
Do not be surprised one day soon if you hear that Israel and most of these Sunni nations linked up and may bomb Iran just before she gets the bomb or deploys it. Wow, that means that the Arabs and Israel will be part of a future alliance. Amazing times. This new alliance knows that the US is just not there and is unreliable, so they will be forced to take care of business by themselves...
well this is one to look at it & thanks for your views.
