use your talking skills men.
Obama's Statement on Trump's Pull Out:
There are few issues more important to the security of the United States
than the potential spread of nuclear weapons, or the potential for even
more destructive war in the Middle East. That’s why the United States negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in the first
place.
The reality is clear. The JCPOA is working – that is a view shared by
our European allies, independent experts, and the current U.S. Secretary
of Defense. The JCPOA is in America’s interest – it has significantly rolled back Iran’s nuclear program. And the JCPOA is a model for what diplomacy can accomplish – its inspections and verification regime is precisely what the United States should be working to put in place with
North Korea. Indeed, at a time when we are all rooting for diplomacy
with North Korea to succeed, walking away from the JCPOA risks losing a
deal that accomplishes – with Iran – the very outcome that we are pursuing with the North Koreans.
That is why today’s announcement is so misguided. Walking away from the JCPOA turns our back on America’s closest allies, and an agreement that
our country’s leading diplomats, scientists, and intelligence
professionals negotiated. In a democracy, there will always be changes
in policies and priorities from one Administration to the next. But the consistent flouting of agreements that our country is a party to risks eroding America’s credibility, and puts us at odds with the world’s
major powers.
Debates in our country should be informed by facts, especially debates
that have proven to be divisive. So it’s important to review several
facts about the JCPOA.
First, the JCPOA was not just an agreement between my Administration and
the Iranian government. After years of building an international
coalition that could impose crippling sanctions on Iran, we reached the
JCPOA together with the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the European
Union, Russia, China, and Iran. It is a multilateral arms control deal, unanimously endorsed by a United Nations Security Council Resolution.
Second, the JCPOA has worked in rolling back Iran’s nuclear program. For decades, Iran had steadily advanced its nuclear program, approaching the point where they could rapidly produce enough fissile material to build
a bomb. The JCPOA put a lid on that breakout capacity. Since the JCPOA
was implemented, Iran has destroyed the core of a reactor that could
have produced weapons-grade plutonium; removed two-thirds of its
centrifuges (over 13,000) and placed them under international
monitoring; and eliminated 97 percent of its stockpile of enriched
uranium – the raw materials necessary for a bomb. So by any measure, the JCPOA has imposed strict limitations on Iran’s nuclear program and
achieved real results.
Third, the JCPOA does not rely on trust – it is rooted in the most far-reaching inspections and verification regime ever negotiated in an
arms control deal. Iran’s nuclear facilities are strictly monitored. International monitors also have access to Iran’s entire nuclear supply chain, so that we can catch them if they cheat. Without the JCPOA, this monitoring and inspections regime would go away.
Fourth, Iran is complying with the JCPOA. That was not simply the view
of my Administration. The United States intelligence community has
continued to find that Iran is meeting its responsibilities under the
deal, and has reported as much to Congress. So have our closest allies,
and the international agency responsible for verifying Iranian
compliance – the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Fifth, the JCPOA does not expire. The prohibition on Iran ever obtaining
a nuclear weapon is permanent. Some of the most important and intrusive inspections codified by the JCPOA are permanent. Even as some of the provisions in the JCPOA do become less strict with time, this won’t
happen until ten, fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five years into the deal,
so there is little reason to put those restrictions at risk today.
Finally, the JCPOA was never intended to solve all of our problems with
Iran. We were clear-eyed that Iran engages in destabilizing behavior – including support for terrorism, and threats toward Israel and its
neighbors. But that’s precisely why it was so important that we prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Every aspect of Iranian behavior
that is troubling is far more dangerous if their nuclear program is unconstrained. Our ability to confront Iran’s destabilizing behavior – and to sustain a unity of purpose with our allies – is strengthened with the JCPOA, and weakened without it.
Because of these facts, I believe that the decision to put the JCPOA at
risk without any Iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake.
Without the JCPOA, the United States could eventually be left with a
losing choice between a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle
East. We all know the dangers of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon. It
could embolden an already dangerous regime; threaten our friends with destruction; pose unacceptable dangers to America’s own security; and trigger an arms race in the world’s most dangerous region. If the constraints on Iran’s nuclear program under the JCPOA are lost, we could
be hastening the day when we are faced with the choice between living
with that threat, or going to war to prevent it.
In a dangerous world, America must be able to rely in part on strong, principled diplomacy to secure our country. We have been safer in the
years since we achieved the JCPOA, thanks in part to the work of our diplomats, many members of Congress, and our allies. Going forward, I
hope that Americans continue to speak out in support of the kind of
strong, principled, fact-based, and unifying leadership that can best
secure our country and uphold our responsibilities around the globe.

And Iran deserves to be gotten tough on. It's a fucking THEOCRACY
Brian, don't forget the British citizen those mullah cunts put the hex
on (Rushdie) illegally and immorally all those years ago. These rock
apes imprison and torture their own citizens, hand homosexuals from
cranes, behead and stone women who have sex outside of marriage, make
women wear masks in public and have religious police to whip women who
dare to wear what they want in public.
Trump will sanction these cunts and starve their people to the extent
that there will be a very good chance that the mullahs will be
overthrown and Persians will once again be free.
What Trump has done is clever and the next move is now up to the
mullahs. Let's see if they dare to start to develop nuclear weapons -
even the Russians won't condone that.
Good work by the Donald!

### - is likely precisely 'why' he's doing it then! (trumpy i mean...) >>>>
because it upsets sooo many peeps! IS highly controversial!
+ will have everyone talking/arguing/fighting about it!
and then he's prolly gonna threaten to bomb 'em or something heh...
or israel will while everyone's distracted hah!)
gettin' tough on iran now there boss!
And Iran deserves to be gotten tough on. It's a fucking THEOCRACY
Brian, don't forget the British citizen those mullah cunts put the hex
on (Rushdie) illegally and immorally all those years ago. These rock
apes imprison and torture their own citizens, hand homosexuals from
cranes, behead and stone women who have sex outside of marriage, make
women wear masks in public and have religious police to whip women who
dare to wear what they want in public.
### - wooo they sooo different to us??
What, we throw homosexuals off buildings and hang them?
Nope. We
marry them to each other and give them attendant legal rights.
be afraid, be very afraid! :)
Of what? Iran is half a world away from Australia, we have some of
the most stringent immigration policies in the world (because a lot of
people want to live here) and we're surrounded by two oceans, Indian
and the Pacific - difficult for Iranians to swim here.
Not afraid at all Brian.
and ya don't like the russians either?
Apart from one I fucked in Queensland before I got married, I don't
like them much. Too brutish for my tasted :)
so who ELSE is on your right-wing hit-lists then thang?
No one really. I enjoy life and I like others to enjoy life too.
not those peeps with the little slanty eyes too? AND no doubt the
abbos??
Chinese are our largest trading partner, they buy all our iron ore and
most of my overseas holidays have been to Asian countries in the last
20 years - Vietnam, Hong Kong, Bali, Singapore, Laos, Thailand etc
etc. Don't mind asians at all, I quite like most of them, they are
very peaceful and INDUSTRIOUS people.
Aboriginals? They haven't integrated very well with British
descendants and they are still in the stone age, so no, I don't have
close friends who are aboriginal. Haven't done a recent genocide on
them though, as far as I can recall...
riiiight...
russia, china AND iran folks!
racism and bigotry at its worst!
it's actually cunts like you that 'cause' all the wars!
Bwah ahah aha hahaha (gasp)...bwahahahahah...fuck moi...I start wars
now, in addition to committing genocide on the aboriginals.
Trump will sanction these cunts and starve their people to the extent
that there will be a very good chance that the mullahs will be
overthrown and Persians will once again be free.
### - free hah! just not to live how THEY wants to live huh...
That's exactly what I mean. Women can wear dresses and slacks again
with no head gear and show their beauty to all and sundry, just like
in the West. Free to study, to go to any school you like, to
repudiate religion, to live a secular life.
Freedom. Western style. The only freedom worthwhile.
free to DO what WE tell you! free to DO what WE tell you!
Oh fuck off. Nonsense.
What Trump has done is clever and the next move is now up to the
mullahs. Let's see if they dare to start to develop nuclear weapons -
even the Russians won't condone that.
Good work by the Donald!
### - what he's DONE is a clear step to ww3 you fucking idiot!
(obama went/leaned completely the 'other' way! think about it!)
Obama was a lazy cunt who couldn't get off his arse to resolve issues
like DPRK and China and Russia - he kicked the can down the road. At
least Trump is doing something about these matters.
