As he prepared to sign his “memorandum of understanding” with the Islamic dictatorship of Iran, President Trump again insisted that his deal was much different than that of his predecessor, President Barack Obama.He’s right — it’s probably worse.Obama’s treaty did not prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, it simply punted the issue down the road in exchange for cash.Trump’s agreement has the same vague promises, the same payouts, but with the added twist that Iran can and will take the world hostage by shutting the Strait of Hormuz at will.
I've criticized Dementia Joe for his Afghan withdrawal because he was desperate to have it done before September 2021 so he could stand in the Rose Garden on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and claim victory. Trump seems to be driven by the same motivations: the need to reach a deal before heading to the G7 conference, or to bring down gas prices, or to claim the mantle of Great Negotiator.
I think it's just a matter of time before Iran violates this agreement because that's all Iran ever does. They are completely untrustworthy and any "agreement" isn't worth the paper it's written on.
