Has there ever been a "deal" more guaranteed to fail, than this one?
The deal basically removes sanctions from Iran. Which were the only things that even brought Iran to the negotiating table in the first place. And as an extra bennie, it lets them enrich all the uranium they want, later on. (WTF???)
And it says that, if we find they are violating their promises to limit enrichment right now, we will put the sanctions back on.
But how do we find that? With inspections, of course.
And Iran already has a long record of blocking inspections, ignoring requests for information, and generally telling the world they'll do whatever they damned well please regardless of treaties, agreements, or laws.
They are basically a 13th-century version of the Democrat Party.
How can we possibly make an "agreement" with people who have violated that same agreement endlessly in the past?
Can "adults" possibly be that naïve and self-deluded? All for the sake of crafting an "achievement" they can later point to as part of their "legacy"... even as it falls apart faster than a sand castle at high tide? A tide that comes again and again, every time, as reliably as clockwork?
