WASHINGTON—The 2015 Iran nuclear agreement faces a potentially fateful week, with a series of deadlines awaiting President Donald Trump as Tehran reacts to recent antigovernment protests.

Mr. Trump is expected to again notify Congress he doesn’t believe the Iran deal is in the best interest of the U.S., restating a well-known position. More important, Mr. Trump will have several opportunities starting Wednesday to refuse to extend U.S. sanctions relief to Iran under the deal, which would put Washington in breach of its terms.
In case you missed it and don't know what I'm talking about.

I guess that would be the neocon thing to do.

It looks like we are getting more wars for the fuck of it. So, yeah, it's probably happening.

Iran is backed into a corner too. The Saudis and the Israelis are pretty much aligned against them, and we have equipped everybody with aircraft that have a fair chance of penetrating those Russian air defense systems.

Just going by the routine stupidity of the neocon agenda, I would expect them to ignore the very real threat (North Korea) for the most part and then escalate with Iran.

I can sort of see a true populist agenda emerging from the Bern outs and now the people disillusioned by Trump. If you look at the past several elections, Americans came out strong for the candidate who wants to end all these wars of empire, only for those candidates to continue doing it anyway. Obama defeated Hillary in the 2008 primary because of her support for the Iraq War and his criticisms of the constant wars under the Bush administration, only to win the general election and give us wars in Libya and Syria, and deliberate destabilization of several other countries. Trump won in part because of his criticisms of these same policies, only to create a crater at the end of a Syrian runway and now Iran is on the chopping block.

Sanctions are back, most likely. Russia will just help them directly. The proxy war in the ME will escalate.

Now you're in favor of Obama's Iran deal...

You're in favor of Obama's FCC NN rules...

You're against the tax bill that eliminates Obama's individual mandate...

I think they got to him.

LOL, what?

I am not in favor of Obama's Iran deal.

I am in favor of net neutrality, which was first set forth by the George W. Bush administration in accordance with anti-trust regulatory principles we have followed since the Theodore Roosevelt administration.
