The ‘Day After’ Problem: What’s Next If Trump Tears Up The Iran Deal?
« on: April 06, 2018, 09:57:01 pm »
Freed from the shackles of cautious advisers and brimming with self-confidence, President Trump is boldly executing the disruptive foreign policy that he promised as a candidate. In just the month of March, Trump jettisoned his secretary of State, national security adviser and chief economist, replacing these so-called “adults in the room” with officials more aligned with his unilateralist and nationalist impulses. In rapid succession Trump bypassed his top intelligence advisers in agreeing to an unprecedented summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, rattled Congressional Republicans by provoking a trade war with China, and surprised close aides by inviting newly “re-elected” Russian President Vladimir Putin to a congratulatory visit at the White House. This week he blindsided the Pentagon in calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria, and announcing the deployment of the National Guard troops to the border with Mexico.

Next month promises even greater disruption. With a May 12 certification deadline fast approaching, the newly liberated Trump is poised to fulfill one of his favorite campaign pledges: walking away from an Iran nuclear deal negotiated in 2015 by the Obama administration. Trump has called the deal an “embarrassment to the United States” and “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into.”

Fishrrman's answer:
Hopefully, we'll start making plans with Israel to bomb their nuclear facilities back into the stone age.

Russia might have a little something to say about that. Heck, they might even give them turnkey nukes if we did that.

Russia's got oil and gas to sell and that's it.

Watch what unfolds with China as Trump "lies and blusters" his way through Negotiations with them. We're still in the opening phase of TPP Gate.

There's ways to deal with Russia.

If the Israelis hit Iran once they'll have already demonstrated a willingness to go back and hit them twice Before Iran can get any gift nukes off the ship and set up to shoot.

Sorry, not sorry that it isn’t a prostrating paean to Trump you’re accustomed to reading and posting.     :shrug:

Written by James Kitfield.  Here's one bio I found online:

"James Kitfield a senior fellow at the Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress and a Defense One contributor. He is a former senior correspondent for National Journal and has written on defense, national security and foreign policy issues from Washington, D.C. for more than two decades."

A deal that the Iranians never ratified?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-
