Good day all. Since President Trump took office, one of the things he’s been doing is cleaning up the mess left by his predecessor, The Great Mistake, Barack Obama.
Besides cleaning up the economic mess Obama and his predecessors made, he’s also been cleaning up the foreign affairs mess Obama left behind. One of the biggest was the Iranian cave in that Obama and Kaptain Ketchup Kerry did. Then we have ISIS and a whole host of fiascoes left behind by the previous administration. Here are the details from Fox News:
While Democrats in Washington and much of the news media spend their time obsessing over the 2020 campaign and telling the world that our president is everything from being mentally unfit to a criminal, Trump has been dealing with a host of major foreign policy challenges either created or ignored by the Obama administration.
The ISIS takeover of Iraq and its infiltration across more than a dozen countries was the first. Handling China’s unchecked economic and military advances in the Pacific, Africa and even cyber espionage here in the U.S. is another. Chaos in Libya is still unabated.
I’m not sure what we can do in Libya other then contain the mess and wait until they kill each other off.
But Obama’s sweetheart deal with Iran is perhaps the thorniest of them all. Critics would rather bash Trump than acknowledge Obama’s naïve strategy of Iranian appeasement was a failure.
Trump made clear this week that he’s willing to play hardball with Iran if they continue on their current trajectory. Calling off the strike just minutes before execution wasn’t indecision. It was a calculated move meant to send a message that the U.S. will not be intimidated back into negotiations by a radical Islamist government with a history of aggression.
A history of aggression? Why not call a spade a shovel and call it what it is. A state of war, one we have been in since 1979.
Obama wanted his Iran deal at all costs, and those costs were steep. It amounted to access to more than $100 billion, ending most sanctions, opening the country to foreign investment, among other benefits for the regime.
And what did we get in return? Does the word “Bupkis” mean anything?
Of course, a key component of the deal meant that fifteen years from signing, the whole thing went out the window anyway and Iran could proceed with their nuclear program.
Which they never actually stopped.
This was in exchange for Tehran’s thin assurances that they would limit uranium enrichment to 3 percent and reduce the number of centrifuges needed to advance their nuclear program from 19,000 to 6,000.
This week it was confirmed that Iran will exceed the uranium stockpile limit codified in the agreement.
The whole thing was nothing more then John “Just a Gigolo” Kerry and that SCoaMF, Barack Obama trying to generate their own Munich Moment and look good for the history books.
The monitoring and accountability regime put in place to ensure compliance was never robust enough to work. This point was raised repeatedly by experts during negotiations and by even more than a dozen Democratic Senators in 2016 (some of whom are now running for president) but the Obama administration just wanted a deal done.
The whole Obama House of cards was starting to unravel. The lies, the illegal actions, the cover-ups, all were starting to come out. The whitewashing of Felonia von Pantsuit’s crimes may have been the final straw for many people. Obama needed that deal to “Secure his place in History.” Well, it did. History will record him as both the worst president in modern history and the first president to actively hate everything the United States is.
Trump said this week that Obama made a “desperate deal” with Iran. He’s right.
Iran flat out lied and played both Obama and Kerry. Of course, it didn’t help matters that Kerry is a traitor and Obama pretty much supports Iran’s goals in the region.
Since the agreement Iran has called for the destruction of Israel and the US. Iran is also responsible for the deaths of countless U.S. servicemen in Iraq given its long-standing support for radical Shia forces there. Other efforts to destabilize the region through a variety of overt and covert tactics are well-known in foreign policy and intelligence circles.
For some inexplicable reason none of this mattered to the previous administration. President Trump views Iran in far more rational and realistic terms.
It didn’t matter because the Iranian government had agents in the Obama Regime pushing Obama along. You also had an administration that considered Israel to be the enemy with some members of the administration, (Samantha Powers), calling for the United States to invade, and dismantle the defenses of the Israel, starting with their nuclear deterrent. Thankfully, Obama was quite THAT stupid.
Russia, North Korea, Nazi Germany, Cuba, China to name a few, have demonstrated a lack of fidelity to such agreements. They use them to buy more time to advance their agenda. They use them to take advantage of perceived weakness or unwillingness to engage militarily on the part of more peaceful democratic countries.
Democrats and Republicans in Congress need to acknowledge that the Obama approach to Iran emboldened and enriched an enemy never willing to be an honest broker for peace.
They never will. Almost as one, they have stated that they will put the agreement back in place. They refuse to learn from history and are doomed to repeat it. This time, with nuclear weapons going off that could have been stopped.
President Trump is trying to get the West back in a position to effectively isolate Iran and counter the Mullahs aggression before engaging in any form of military conflict.
If it does go to military action, there won’t be troops on the ground, at least not long term. If things go sideways, they will go in to wreck the nuclear facilities including shutting down and defueling the reactors. As for the rest of Iran? As President Trump has shown, if the military is to be used, don’t hold back. We will destroy the entire Iranian infrastructure. Bridges, roads, not to mention their entire military. The Democrats? They’ve already surrendered to Iran.
