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?

Maybe the whole leg, nobody knows how this will play out but the lack of adults in the room is of concern.

Thats the problem viewing everything thru the lens of righteous action. i didn't go to Iraq to help anyone. I went to carry out US policy. And take care of my men. This fantasy that American troops are risking their lives to free Iraqis and promote freedom is total BS. Troops do as they are told

Not to worry a Trump has planned his next four golf trips in advance, he is prepared to play at a moments notice. Sad that he plans more strategically for the next golf trip, than what he just set in motion in the Middle East.

He cheats at golf, cheats in elections and his foreign policy is via tweets and threats. He will have a lot of blood on his hands soon, his promise to keep us out of another war is gone, add that to his upcoming trial and Johns charities will be enjoying your contribution.

Since I’ve been on this board I’ve only made one prediction, that Trump would be impeached in the house and the senate would refuse to hold a legitimate trial and the 2020 election would resolve it one way or the other, so it appears I’m on track with that one.

Here is another I know I can win, I predict SD being who he is, can’t go two weeks without throwing a childish insult someone’s way and you piling on, when you two are that predictable it’s easy.

I predict Pete will continue to go hard at the right and his battle with the blue font Detbuch will continue.

I predict Trump will probably not make good with his campaign promise to end our involvement in the Middle East conflicts, the sh*t is going to hit the fan and I’d not want to be a family of a serviceman or women deployed in what is going to be explosive soon. If you feel confident with the Trumps tweetIng foreign policy and threatening rhetoric, even going so far as to suggest we would hit cultural targets, then you are as f’ed up as he is.

With all these predictions then surely you will double down. Or are you spewing without confidence?

Pretty much correct. Though sometimes they do export freedom as an extension of FP, and sometimes they don't, and sometimes they can't.

Righteous action in Iraq (Jr Fustercluck), righteous action in Libya (Obama Fustercluck), Syria (Trump probably got that one right after Obama got that one wrong and will end in a tie), righteous action in Kuwait (Sr got that one right), VN (Johnson hands the blame).

John there is a bet between sides on Trump winning in 2020 which was intended to go to you to run the site, to which I believe you said couldn’t be accepted for tax reasons, so SD and others will need to know which of your charities to write their checks out to.

So Iran is promising military strikes, dropping all provisions from the JCPOA and will likely have a nuke very soon. Hezbollah is calling for strikes on the US military. Iran is threatening to destroy Tel Aviv and Haifa if we counter. This is looking like a pretty easy one to walk back from.

Don’t worry Trump will tweet the foreign policy solution, the little rocket man and fire and furry policy worked so well, maybe he can conjure up some Middle East appropriate insults; hey SD your so good at that get on his Twitter feed and send him something he can use.

Hey does your guy threatening to commit war crimes bother you, or does the fact he doesn’t even know attacking a cultural site is a war crime bother you more. Oh crap I forgot your drink of choice is red cool aid; nothing about this administration bothers you.

Iran is dropping the provision on the number of centrifuges in use, only. Otherwise they are abiding in the same (unverifiable) ways as before. Nice try Spence.

And I thought you said they were ten years away?

The news reports this has nothing to do with the crisis in the Middle East. My guess is the left has insider information. My guess is that it will be orange man related.
