    All this thread tells me is how little memory people have. Late into Obama’s office, he brokered a deal that would have reduced Iran’s ability to create wmds in exchange for lifting sanctions while giving the rest of the world the ability to monitor them to make sure they actually stop trying to make a wmd. Trump infamously cancelled this deal early into his first run and now people are acting like he’s doing a good job by wanting to attack Iran- Trump created this problem in the first place!

      Trump created this problem in the first place!

      That’s his whole strategy and always has been. Manufacture a crisis when something doesn’t go right and reduce risk of getting closer to an orange jumpsuit. Ever notice nobody is talking about the Epstein Files now? He always pops ninja smoke. Only his poof of smoke is this giant splatter of shit that makes a mess for everyone to clean up while he escapes. The other big factor of this is that 75 million Americans are happy to clean all that up and ask for more.

      I think it’s good to be absolutely crystal clear on what the problem is. Iran is not building nuclear weapons. They say this themselves, and the entire American intelligence community, as well as the UN’s IAEA agree that they haven’t since 2003. The amount of evidence that Iran is building WMDs is exactly the same as it was for Iraq in the early 2000s (i.e., non-existent). So that’s not the problem.

      Warmongering and unconditional support is bipartisan.
      Biden never did anything to fix it, they’re invariably ‘sabotaged by the other side and powerless’, same as with every other issue.
      Like when Trump unilaterally ended the missile treaties.
      If anything Biden escalated tension with Iran with some aggresive actions.
      And anyway Iran never was planning to get nukes.
      They are an advanced country and have nuclear energy which is their right.
      The scaremongering lies by the genocide state and their big bully friend do not change that.
      If anything, I hope they change their mind and start working on a nuke since they invariably get provoked and attacked for no reason.
