Thought experiment: If Trump didn't have the Russian investigation to stage his victimhood on, what would he have used?

You mean withdrawal from the Iran deal? I must say, now that
@brhodes is no longer operating the echo chamber, that would probably be seen as a positive by most, especially w Trump's negotiating approach w NoKo as contrast to Obama's negotiations w Iran. -
And yet "most" find such a claim batshit insane.
-
I'm glad you put "most" in quotations. For as I remember, even supporters of the deal (outside the echo-chamber) like
@JeffreyGoldberg were 55/45 in favor - not exactly "batshit insane" territory. In any case, we shall see. Thanks for a civil exchange. Very rare these days :( -
Right. But NOW, the alternative to "no deal" is "US isolation and Iranian proliferation," which is worse than the status quo before. So Trump has delivered the worst of three options.
-
2. As to Iranian proliferation, Iran continues work on missiles, spreading terrorism and trying to acquire nuclear technology. Even verification provisions, as I understand, are weak - we cannot inspect military installations, for example. Face it, Obama bought a 3-legged donkey
-
You apparently believe what you read in partisan outlets. No, the verification provisions were not weak. Now there is far less. And in case you've noticed, Saudi Arabia is spreading more terror and also pursuing nukes.
-
Iran is a sovereign nation-state. It probably does less evil than Saudi Arabia. At some point people need to realize that learning to live with sovereign states is better than Bolton's preference, regime change and utter destabilization.

I wonder what financial benefit Russia and North Korea trading on NKs iron ore mines while Trump tariffs pur allies would have for Trump? Bet opening those mines is a concession of Trump and Kim’s summit.
