Iran

Pete, you said Obama had them boxed in, and they went on the warpath. I'm sorry that fact shreds your claims.

Did Obama cause Russian GDP to decrease? Maybe he should have sent them a zillion dollars like he did to Iran.

Remember Obabam's red line in the sand to Syria, about not using chemical weapons? How'd that work out?

Obama gets decent grades for handling our economy, he gets a big fat F for reigning in foreign adversaries. He thought he could say "PAH-kee-ston", and that would make everyone love us. It didn't work. His ego was right up there with Trumps.

Do you think Russian GDP dropped by itself? It was thru multilateral sanctions imposed by a number of nations that Floridaman has largely removed.

And just how did Floridaman's actions in Syria end up?
With the resurgence of IS and the assisted genocide of Kurds?

In Iran where after a multilateral effort dropped their GDP from 589B to 386B they signed the JCPOA and complied. Now we have a great deal with them and what might be a unilateral war on our hands.

Floridaman and his failed foreign policy attempts are nothing to brag about unless you are Putin.

Doing a brief net search, I couldn't find that Trump "largely" removed sanctions. There was an attempt to lift them from one oligarch provided he did some things favorable to Americans, but Congress blocked that according to other articles. Perhaps my search wasn't deep enough. Can you enlighten?
