Obama Quietly Removes Sanctions From Russian Organizations Helping Iran Develop Nukes

The Obama administration has quietly removed sanctions from three Russian organizations that have been helping Iran develop nuclear weapons. The move is thought to be aimed at getting the Russians to support additional sanctions against Iran. Ironically, the Russian organizations were being punished for failing to heed previous sanctions. The Obama administration is removing sanctions from organizations that violated sanctions in order to get more sanctions. Huh? What is the point of new sanctions if there is no penalty for violating sanctions?

The Jerusalem Post reported:

The Obama administration on Friday removed sanctions against three Russian organizations the US had previously accused of assisting Iran’s effort to develop nuclear weapons.

Penalties against a fourth Russian entity previously accused of illicit arms sales to Syria were also lifted.

The timing of the decisions, published in Friday’s Federal Register but not otherwise announced by the State Department, suggested the possibility of a link to US efforts to win Russian support for a new UN Security Council resolution expanding sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.

I am convinced that The Usurper is indeed a Russian Commie plant. How else can you explain his clear and consistent treasonous behavior and decisions? Nobody could be so stupid to think that these acts are for the benefit of Our Republic.

He is also anti Christian, anti American and pro muslim. But this made no difference to the traitors that voted for him. All they understood was that he was going to rob the producers and give to them, the parasites. To them, nothing else mattered.

Since you’re looking for a foundation for Articles of Impeachment against The Won, this would be a splendid start.

Most of those who voted for him really don’t have a clue about him at all...about the destruction he intends to bring to this nation. These are the ones who spend all their time watching American Idol, Biggest Loser, Dancing With the Stars, etc., instead of doing some research into the candidate’s background and positions on the issues. All they know is what Obama has told them — that he will bring “hope and change” that will benefit them immensely and that it won’t cost them a thing because the “rich” will pay for it. When they find out, for example, that they have to pay dearly for health care that they actually may not get when they need it, maybe then they will realize the damage they have wrought by putting this guy in office, including, but not limited to, the danger to their very lives.

Not a Russian plant...just commie. Commies have no borders or allegences but to communism and its potential reach: and that’s the entire globe, now. He is an ally of communists...everywhere.

He is in the position to foment the exact chaos needed to dis-establish the old Capitalist order. Everything he does drives toward that end....and, then, toward the inevitable collapse of that Utopia to follow....bringing more death and destruction in one day than the world has seen since the advent of man. Just as sure as earth’s gravity pulls things to earth. Unless our governmental construction can stop him. But it’s gonna be uncomfortable....a stitch in time...not optimistic, I. The free world is like a man in heart attack denial. “I’ll be OK.”
