That’s why I thought Mr. President’s speech sounded more like a declaration of war than a mere announcement that he’s withdrawing from an unratified “treaty”.

I am not impressed about the endless claims from the establishment of Iran being the number one sponsor of state terrorism when my own eyes read about all the terror attacks in the west being sponsored and inspired by the Sunni terror organizations.

The reason it’s called a “deal” and not a “treaty” is because Obama would never have been able to pass the stinker through Congress.

“President Donald Trump has just sent an earthquake through the Middle East and risked alienating key European allies.”

Yawn! Trump’s mere existence alienates “European allies”. Screw the gutless, unprincipled weasels.

I think the era of Sunni terror is [ended] by Crown Prince Salman and President Donald J. Trump.

Agreed, but our policies are not made in our own, or even Western interests.

That would be nice, but once Iran is eliminated, the incentives to be helpful would be largely gone for the Saudis. Once the hated Shiites are broken, the next obvious target to redirect radical Sunni anger towards would be Israel and Netanyahu might then wish he still had an Iranian problem to obsess over.

You are wrong.

That ancient school thinking ignores the new world order that is in process

We will just have to wait to see what unfolds, but old school reality seems to have an undefeated record against new world orders.

Kind of like a “ tear down this wall’ message to the people of Iran

Conversely, Obama set the region on fire losing hundreds of thousands of lives and displaying millions of “refugees.”

I sit in Tel Aviv as I write this and I can assure the media that Israelis just don’t seem too concerned about it. Fake News!
