Mr. Trump's War

So passing on a response when Iran shot down a US aircraft in international airspace supports the thought that he "wanted that war."

There is no more clear acts or war than that.

On other notes you have mentioned, nobody has any issues with the horrible nature of the Shah, but that has nothing to do with this.

 

On a further note, I do not know of one serious, familiar with their operations, informed individual who ever thought that Iran was going to cease its nuclear weapons program because of the "deal" it had in place.

The same for North Korea.

They are simply not going to stop of their own volition.

Unfortunately, that is the reality.

Valid across the board!!! Some just do not get it nor will they.

Why do you think they would want a bomb now? 

Because you claimed it, you idiot. Your words from above:

 

"Trump came in are started "Maximum Pressure" on them and we have gone from there. 

 

The international community was all in on the inspections and stated Iran was in compliance. No reason to doubt that. 

 

Now they are building a bomb. That is the reality. 

 

A cynical person would assume that this is all part of Trump's reelection campaign. It's been building since day one."

I get that folks hated the Obama Iran nuclear deal.  I have read several posts talking about Obama's folly and pallets of cash.   The deal included a lot of hope and prayers on how Iran would react to the invitation to 'normalize'.  Over time they didn't seem to be normalizing however as their regional agitation persisted or arguably worsened.  On the plus side though, it did buy some time to deal with their nuclear program short of attacking Iran.  With the agreed upon oversight, their nuclear program was frozen to a large extent.  Then, Trump decided to make a big splash and tear up the agreement.

 

If you thought the Iran nuclear deal was a terrible deal from the US perspective, how does it look now after giving them their pallets of cash WITHOUT any current oversight or agreed upon limitations to their nuclear program?  If you thought Obama's administration screwed up by making the original deal, don't you have to really hate the Trump administration's alterations? 

 

As it is today, we gave all that we gave and in return, we now have what in exchange?  Nada?  Wouldn't it have been better to keep the existing nuclear deal and to work to improve the other areas of disagreement?  Except for the satisfaction of undoing Obama's presidency, what was the advantage of tearing up the agreement?

the nuclear deal was a farce. we were only allowed to look at certain buildings and certainly not any military ones.

Perfect example of why you should never post when you're stoned off your gourd.

Iran has been fomenting terrorist acts for decades. They got sanctions for doing so. They didn't like the sanctions and believed that by doing certain acts like sending their proxies to kill Americans and shoot down drones would make Trump crumble like Obama would. Trump just showed them that ain't happening.

So, the advantage of tearing up the Obama Iran nuclear deal was what? You made a nice pro Trump statement but didn't answer the question.  Please, try again.
