obama is as flexible for Iran as he was for Putin

This is why the world thinks obama is a bloody joke. In what has to be the worst agreement in the history of the country, barack obama has given Iran just about everything but Hawaii. If he did agree to hand it over it would not be surprising. Currently, he is in the process of emptying Fort Knox for Iran:

The Obama administration has paid Iran more than $10 billion in gold, cash, and other assets since 2013, according to Iranian officials, who disclosed that the White House has been intentionally deflating the total amount paid to the Islamic Republic.

Senior Iranian officials late last week confirmed reports that the total amount of money paid to Iran over the past four years is in excess of $10 billion, a figure that runs counter to official estimates provided by the White House.

The latest disclosure by Iran, which comports with previous claims about the Obama administration obfuscating details about its cash transfers to Iran—including a $1.7 billion cash payment included in a ransom to free Americans—sheds further light on the White House’s back room dealings to bolster Iran’s economy and preserve the Iran nuclear agreement.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi confirmed last week a recent report in the Wall Street Journal detailing some $10 billion in cash and assets provided to Iran since 2013, when the administration was engaging in sensitive diplomacy with Tehran aimed at securing the nuclear deal.

Apparently, it is a conservative estimate:

The $10 billion figure is actually a “stingy” estimate, Ghasemi claimed, adding that a combination of cash, gold, and other assets was sent by Washington to Iran’s Central Bank and subsequently “spent.”

And predictably, it is being used to fund terrorism:

It is likely Iran spent a portion of this money to fund its regional terror operations and military enterprise to bolster embattled Syrian President Bashar al Assad, Ben Taleblu said.

And also predictably, Iran is doing whatever it want to do:

The United Nations chief expressed concern to the Security Council that Iran may have violated an arms embargo by supplying weapons and missiles to Lebanese Shi'ite group Hezbollah, according to a confidential report, seen by Reuters on Sunday.

The second bi-annual report, due to be discussed by the 15-member council on Jan. 18, also cites an accusation by France that an arms shipment seized in the northern Indian Ocean in March was from Iran and likely bound for Somalia or Yemen.

Most U.N. sanctions were lifted a year ago under a deal Iran made with Britain, France, Germany, China, Russia, the United States and the European Union to curb its nuclear program. But Iran is still subject to an arms embargo and other restrictions, which are not technically part of the nuclear agreement.

Iran feels free to capture and humiliate US sailors- and this feckless administration thanked them for it.

Iran has nothing to worry about. There is no fear of reprisal from obama. Zero. In fact, just as obama was flexible for Vladimir Putin, he is equally flexible for the Iranian mullahs. Iran has already violated the nuclear agreement:

I confess that I’m concerned that Obama seems to be doing a lot of very damaging things, on several fronts, these last couple of months. I’m concerned he’s saving the best for last.

This blog is spot on. Obama tried to appease Putin and his allies, the mad mullahs of Iran. Obviously, it didn’t work. Some now conclude that president elect Trump must go back to the failed appeasement models of Obama. Trump needs to follow the Reagan model, not the Obama model. Rebuild the military’s power. Keep cool and contain Russia with our allies. Drill baby drill. Become energy independent so that Russia and Iran lose more market share for oil. This will preserve the peace, not giving in to Putin and his allies, the mad, mad mullahs of Iran.

0bama decided early on, with the help of valerie jarrett, that helping iran become a nuclear power would be the best way to achieve the destruction of Israel. It’s just that simple to explain his actions over the years. It’s disgusting that he was aided and abetted by the American people, government officials and congress.
