We get to PREVENT iran from obtaining a nuke. Something that your hero, the obummers "deal" GRANTED them the ability to obtain in 10 years.
How Westwall? Haven't seen a single plan advanced that is any better except go to war.
The plan as it exists allowed iran to further their ballistic missile development, didn't prevent them from engaging in State sponsored terrorism, and gave them permission to build a nuke in 10 years. What exactly do you think iran is going to do when they have that missile and nuke?
The plan was constructed very narrowly to address only the nukes, because there was no way we would get a more comprensive plan - that can be saved for later agreements (something we COULD have been working towards). We had a sunset clause - it didn't exactly give them permission, it meant new agreements would be negotiated. It buys time, and that is quite likely the best we could have gotten.
If this deal is allowed to stand we will be engaged in a nuclear war in 12 years. If iran decides to go to war over our demand that they not get to have a nuke, OK, I would far rather fight a non nuke equipped military than one that is. Wouldn't you? Anyone with the ability to think KNOWS that the second that iran has a nuke, they are going to use it. They are the david koresh of the middle east.
No one wants to go to war, except maybe Trump. Neither Iran nor us. Hence the agreement. And no, I doubt they will use it. Nukes provide leverage and entry into an elite power club. That is what they strive for, to increase their leverage. They aren't insane.
So, no deal. Now what? Why would Iran negotiate with a partner that has renegged?
The plan was constructed as it was because obama and kerry are crap negotiators, they were desperate to do a deal to further their legacy, and they gave away the farm because of that desperation. iran ABSOLUTELY will use a nuke when they get it. I grant you that the PEOPLE of iran don't want war, but the mullahs do.. They want the final war, they have Paradise waiting for them.
And yes, the sunset clause gave them permission to develop their nuke after ten years.
Crap negotiators? Who else has negotiated any sort of deal with Iran?
No, they don't want a final war - there is no indication of that or they would be behaving like ISIS and they don't. They're canny, and they want to hang on to their power and become a regional mover and shaker (and, since we took out Iraq, there is little to counter balance their ambitions).
Far better to have never entered into this crappy a deal than go for this idiocy. And yes, there is LOADS of evidence that they want a final war. They just want to make sure they have a good chance at "winning" it. Nukes give them a chance.
