Your analysis of international politics beggars my wildest imagination. It has nothing to do with my faith that the international community will do the right thing, or whatever. You’re asserting things that have no relation to reality in the slightest.
Obama and NATO now accept an Iranian bomb? This is just nonsense. It’s a figment of your imagination. There’s no basis for you to conclude this. It’s like arguing against the idea that Obama is actually a lizard-person.
The whole damned agreement is to prevent an Iranian bomb, and you think it’s proof that they are happy with Iran having a bomb? How do you come to such conclusions? I mean, are you reading newspapers from bizarro-earth? When Tea Partiers bring lawsuits against Obamacare, do you take that as evidence that they love Obamacare? When Democrats propose gun control laws, do you take this as proof that members of my party are all actually gun nuts who are heavily armed at all times?
And most importantly, can I ask you why you come out with nonsensical statements like this time and time again, when you can’t back up why this agreement “makes an Iranian bomb more likely” as you have said?
I’m not sure whether I can expect an answer to that question, or whether I should simply steel myself for more poo to be flung against the wall with additional nonsensical charges of how awful Obama is.
The sanctions had nothing to do with it, since they wouldn’t have prevented Iran from getting a bomb. If you mean the international community is not willing to invade and occupy Iran, then you’re probably right… but that’s a good thing.
If the United States stabs its allies in the back by rejecting all the effort they put into working with the U.S. to obtain the deal, I’m not sure what they will do. It has nothing to do with them happily accepting an Iranian bomb. And in fact, Netanyahu has argued that Iran is just months away from a weapon… even with the sanctions in place. So which is it, adaher? You can’t agree with Israel that Iran is on the verge of a nuclear weapon today with the sanctions in place, and then say that sanctions are the thing that is preventing Iran from getting a bomb.
Do you view George W. Bush as accepting an Iranian bomb? Because the last known weapons work Iran undertook occurred during his presidency, and as far as I can see, he didn’t actually do anything at all about the problem.
This is ridiculous. The international community isn’t willing to let the US Congress unilaterally dictate their policy. That doesn’t mean anything except that they’re unwilling to let a far-right foreign government dictate their policy.
Sounds like you think that is something to be proud of.
I suppose if Iran performed similar acts against US researchers you would call that terrorism, wouldn’t you?
If there was no deal due to Iranian rejection of any deal acceptable to the P5+1, the sanctions might stay in place.
If there was no deal because the US Congress rejected an agreement that was eminently acceptable to the rest of the P5+1 and to Iran, also known as a diplomatic solution, the rest of the world might conclude that no further useful purpose could be served by maintaining sanctions. The world would conclude: the sanctions aren’t motivating a diplomatic solution, they aren’t preventing a nuke, and they’re hurting all of our economies, so they’re pointless.
Being stuck by US intransigence with only the two remaining options of war or acquiescing in a potential Iranian bomb, and choosing the latter, is not “conceding an Iranian bomb.” It’s conceding that stopping an Iranian nuclear bomb isn’t worth going to war over. That’s evidently not Obama’s stated position (though I wish it were); but it is surely the position of many if not all the parties to the negotiations and the sanctions regime.
One thing that is not clear-Iran doesn’t have a single operating nuclear power plant yet, so why the need for all this enrichment capacity? Are they planning on building dozens of nuclear plants?
ETA: I’m not saying that Iran’s enrichment program isn’t deeply suspicious, or that it is actually needed for them at all. But Bushehr does seem to be operating…
