Obama the threat to national and world security. This is beyond incompetence.
An agreement that they didn’t sign, inspections that don’t inspect anything, a promise to shelter them from attack, and a hundred and fifty billion dollars to pay for it.
The treaty does the exact opposite of what it is purported to do.
So what Rhodes is admitting is that he, Obama, Kerry, Clapper, Brennan and the rest of the Obama Administration repeatedly lied to us about the “Agreement”. That pathetic group couldn’t have run a good government in kindergarten.
Israel embarrassed us by making the fact Iran is a massive cheater public and they don’t want to address what that does to their preccious JCPOA.
Which FWIW is not and has never been a treaty ratified by the Senate. Its not binding on any one and if someone like Iran want get out from its obligations, it can simply denounce it.
What are we talking about again?
Of course Iran was lying, every country in the ME either has or wants nukes because Israel has nukes.
Look at North and South Korea. The North tests a nuke, Trump promises to burn them to a cinder and the South thinks, "they'll be a cinder and we'll suffer massive casualties anyway".
Look at Libya. They play nice, meet every single requirement put on them, let inspectors of all sorts have the run of the country, and their reward is to be bombed to dirt with the only leader who could hold the country together murdered in a trap setup by the Brits followed by anarchy, open slavery markets, and endless war.
Now put yourself in the shoes of Iran, Saudi Arabia (which already has a few), Egypt, Algeria, or any other country within the range of Israeli nukes that worries about Israel someday having a beef with them (which includes Greece, Turkey, and even Ukraine, by the by). Do you want to be able to say, "we'll nuke you back" or trust the word of the same people who promised Libya they'd be accepted and all forgiven if they just kept to an agreement dictated to them?
Thanks to the Obama team and in large measure Hillary, the US is royally screwed in the ME and will be for a long, long, time.
ORNL's neutron source gets an upgrade, thanks to heavy water bought from Iran
April 25, 2018
.......The United States uses heavy water for nuclear research and weapons production. Dwindling supplies and an uncertain international market have made it an even hotter commodity
The Department of Energy's last heavy water procurement came through a controversial Obama-era deal to get Iran back into compliance with a 2015 agreement it made with world powers to stop pursuing nuclear weapons.
In return, DOE received a shipment of 600 beer kegs filled with heavy water, totaling 32 metric tons.....
....The United States has not been able to produce heavy water since 1996, and the National Nuclear Security Administration has said resuming production will be costly and take at least 10 years of lead time.....
At one point, Canada was a reliable supplier. But, DOE terminated a procurement process with the country when the Obama administration's interest in maintaining a 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran afforded DOE an alternative route....
