            The Iran Deal Myth

The Iran Deal Myth

Iran, in an effort to prove that they should be allowed to have nukes, attacked Israel with rockets, following President Trump’s dismantling of Obama’s personal treaty with Iran. And, it was a personal treaty, ratified by no one, but Obama, not even Iran. In other words, it wasn’t really a treaty ratified by The Senate, which it would have to be, in order for it to be an actual, binding treaty. Why? Because Obama knew that the Senate, probably, would never go for it, so he bypassed normal channels and went it alone.

"Such a Kingly gesture, it seems."

Why would any rational American president sign a treaty with the greatest exporter of terrorism in the world, which Iran is, even by Obama’s admission? And, why would he significantly enrich them, in the process?

The stated reason was simple; so Iran wouldn’t get nukes.

At the time, the treaty(That wasn’t really a treaty,) was sold by telling the world that Iran was on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon, and this treaty was the only thing stopping it. “So we must act now!”

This should’ve led to a series of rational questions from the press like: “Uh? If Iran is that close to getting the bomb, why-the-hell didn’t you do something about it, before now?”

The answer: Because it was a lie. Iran wasn’t on the precipice of getting nukes. This idea was sold by Obama’s, Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications, Ben Rhodes. Rhodes confessed that he manipulated the press to act as advocates for the Iran deal, saying, they were a bunch of 27 year-olds, who knew nothing and had no real life experience. Those were his actual words. In response, the press did exactly that, proving Rhodes correct.

This was known at the time, by lots of people, myself included, who wrote about it, documenting the lies and half-truths being told daily by the Obama administration, and disseminated faithfully, by a press eager to aid America’s first Black president. Even if it meant acting against the world’s best interests, certainly, against America’s best interests.

What the “Treaty” actually did was give Iran hundreds of billions of dollars, knowing that the funds would be used to export more terrorism, including the development of nukes. And, again, Obama acknowledged this, but the press, faithful as always, simply ignored that and declared it to be an epic achievement, a legacy maker for Obama.

It also made it possible for Iran to legally get nukes, some 15 years down the road, based on the hope that if we were nice to them, they’d stop being a terrorist nation and be nice to us. Meanwhile, we had to give them a couple of weeks notice if we wanted to inspect their nuclear sites while leaving other military facilities off limits. Because, as we all know, a nation that beheads infidels and literally seeks to kill innocent bystanders (Who are not collateral damage, but are the intended target) will probably behave rationally and see the light.

So, when Iran, behaves precisely the way they’ve always behaved, meaning, “Give us what we want, or we’ll kill you!” no one should be surprised. But liberals, are surprised, nonetheless, and see Iran’s attack on Israel as president Trump’s fault, even if Israel knew it was coming, after Benjamin Netanyahu told the world that Israel found substantial evidence that Iran had violated the “Treaty,” and had been doing so, from the very beginning.

The press and the Democrats are certain, regardless, that Iran’s rocketing of Israel was solely the product of Trump's ending Obama's "Treaty." Not one more act of terror, in an endless list of similar acts of terror, carried out by a rogue nation against the fewer than seven million Jews living in Israel, who exist in a sea of three hundred million, hostile Muslims.

But it’s those damned Jews, who are to blame. Them and Trump.

Schmucks.
