It's like triangulation on steroids.
"The Patriarch"
To be fair to Trump, he is very consistent in these kind of situations. 24hrs into the Skripal case, he knew the Russians did it. No need for any investigation, he already pointed fingers at the same people the deep state already wants to blame. He does this to undermine the deep state and take the narrative away from them making it his own
I have been probably more critical about Trumps views on Iran than anyone but they wouldn't of let him be president if he wasn't "tough on Iran". He did say that Iran attacked the ship but when he was pressed about what he would do about it he didn't say he would go to war with Iran or anything. He did an interview and was asked three different ways in order to trip him up and every time he derailed the question with "we will see what happens". The democrats weren't really any better when you think about the Iran deal in terms of what it was designed to do. The Iran deal was designed so that if Iran broke the deal they would have an excuse to go to war with Iran. Right now Trump appeases the hardliners by not trading with Iran, and insisting on our allies not trade with Iran, which I think is better than a deal that pretty much guarantees war with Iran after they "break the deal". The Obama adminstration spent billions of dollars hailing the deal as peace with Iran but in reality it was intervention in Iran, telling them what they are allowed to do with their own money. You guys think the strategy of not "being tough on Iran" works but how well does that work if you can't win the election?
This is just an easily debunkable lie, they let Obama become president and he campaigned on repairing our relationship with Iran and they did it 2x. And forget what they let him get away with during the campaign, if now that he is president, he and people in his administration cannot stop escalating with Iran, what is the point of tricking the deep state?
It's evident to anyone who is not infatuated with Trump that he and his people are trying their darn hardest to start a war with Iran. The failure is not from lack of trying but its because of their incompetence and the level of skepticism in the general public. Trump willfully or being forced is doing the bidding of the deep state and no rational person can deny this.
The Iran deal was not a repair of relations, the Iran deal in its inception, the think tank that created it wrote in the same write up that it was designed so that they would break the deal and we would be able to go to war with Iran.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to juleswin again.

Rand Paul: Don’t blow up Iran deal

Sen. Rand Paul, who opposed the nuclear deal with Iran two years ago, wants the United States to stay in the agreement — even as President Donald Trump sends clues that he is preparing to derail it.
In an interview Wednesday, the Kentucky Republican said he believes evidence shows that Iran has been complying with the terms of the deal, cut by former President Barack Obama and aimed at curbing Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. Instead of withdrawing from the nuclear deal, Paul argued that the administration should instead look at a deal that would target Iran’s continuing ballistic missile program.
“Most of the complaints about Iran don’t have anything to do with the agreement. They complain about ballistic missiles and other things, but that’s not part of the agreement,” Paul told POLITICO. “I think while the agreement’s not perfect, my main concern has always been compliance. But if they’re complying with it, I think we should stay in it.”
Trump’s visit to the United Nations this week has drawn increased attention to the fate of the controversial nuclear deal, particularly on Wednesday when the president told reporters that he had already decided whether the United States will remain in the agreement — but declined to disclose his decision.

Trump shredded the Obama-era deal in his address to the U.N. General Assembly one day prior, calling the agreement “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into.” That prompted Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to demand an apology from Trump.
Despite the rhetoric, the Trump administration has already passed up opportunities this year to leave the agreement, re-certifying multiple times that Iran was complying with the deal’s terms.
The next recertification deadline is Oct. 15, and if the administration declines to do so by then, it would kick the issue to Congress, which would have 60 days to re-impose sanctions on Iran and effectively kill the agreement.

“I thought the agreement was a bad agreement but I also said that let’s see once it passed, let’s give it a little time to see if it’s working or not,” Schumer said. “If Iran violates the deal that’s one thing. If they don’t and do other bad things, let’s not violate the deal, let’s go after them on the other bad things.”
But Trump has faced a significant push from hawkish Republicans on Capitol Hill to dismantle the Iran deal, which was uniformly opposed by GOP lawmakers two years ago as well as several key Democrats.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), a persistent critic of the Iran deal and a Trump ally, has made it clear that he disagreed with the Trump administration’s previous certifications that Tehran was complying with the terms of the agreement.

Rep the guy who's avatar advocated for nuclear war.
That was before the deal was implemented. After the deal was done and Rand saw that Iran was complying he decided to support it. Trump pulled out of the deal after proof Iran was complying.

No that was when the deal was being voted on. Now you are just being purposely dishonest.
No that guy was terrible I don't care if you think that his Avatar was anti war, he advocated for a nuclear war, he was a communist.
Rubbish logic. Say what you will about the Iran nuclear deal, it was negotiated with Iran on the table and even though it was not perfect, they prefer that deal to the total pressure tactic Trump and Bolton has imposed on them. If Trump thinks that deal is not good, he could have kept the deal in place while he negotiated a better deal for the US and Iran. He did not do this, he went with the neocons to cancel the deal while imposing newer sanctions on Iran.
He is trying to push Iran into a corner in the hope that they will strike the US. He is a neocon and its high time you people stop making excuses for him on this forum. I think breitbart has a forum for that sort of shyte.
Even when Rand said the deal was bad he said it was bad because it took off sanctions (pressure). Trump was asked what he would do about Iran after the shipping incident and he said he would bring them to the table to make a deal. He didn't say he would bomb the $#@! out of them. Thats why they wanted to put in Joe Biden, someone who was part of the whole Iran deal scam. Or impeach Trump and put in a neocon Mike Pence, who wants war with Iran. But you are right, lets vote for Tulsi Gabbard because she consponsored legislation that would authorize force against Iran, that would be a much better pressure tactic and would end all the middle east wars, its not a scam.
The question I have for Rand is this, why was the sanctions there in the first place? They have IAEA inspectors checking them out and according to them, they have yet to violate the treaty. So considering that Rand is the same man that went on Wolf Blitzer and said "Assad needs to go", I don't really think he is an impartial arbiter when it comes to Iran and their ally Syria.
Ofc, he wants to put up the appearance of the reasonable one. Obama did the same thing when he started the no fly zone in Libya. He explicity said that the No fly zone was not put in to execute a regime change but that was exactly what ended up happening. If Trump doesn't want to bomb the $#@! out of them, he would have stopped provoking them a long time ago.
I dunno what point you are trying to make with Joe Bidden. But when it comes to Iran Trump is the most hawkish political figure we have. A man who is a complete slave to the Iran hating regime in Israel. A man whose Vice president, defense secretary and all his foreign police advisers are Iran hating demagogues.
How do you know this is not Tulsi trying to fool the neocons by voting yes on meaningless anti Iran bills? maybe they wouldn't let her be president if she didn't show that she was anti Iran. Come on, give her the same benefit of the doubt you gave Trump. Even though I think Tulsi would be slightly better than Trump, my democratic candidate is Andrew Yang not Tulsi.
Trump is such a neocon that when they tried to get Trump to endorse Pence in 2024 he declined.
I don't give Tulsi Gabbard the benefit of a doubt or Trump, I trust Rand and Rand said he wouldn't support JA if he ran against Trump and goes golfing with Trump.
I don't think you are impartial about nuclear war, here is a quote from your idol.
#1. “What we affirm is that we must proceed along the path of liberation even if this costs millions of atomic victims.”
Who said that?
Pay attention to what he does not what he says. Maybe the deep state have a more convincing neocon to install after Trump. American tend not to vote for the candidate who outright says they are in favor or war. This is why Bush, Obama and Trump won

#1. “What we affirm is that we must proceed along the path of liberation even if this costs millions of atomic victims.”
#2. “To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary … These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution!”
#3. “We must eliminate all newspapers; we cannot make a revolution with free press.”
#4. “We executed many people by firing squad without knowing if they were fully guilty. At times, the Revolution cannot stop to conduct much investigation.”
#5. “The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations.” 1952 Diary
#6. “Hatred as an element of the struggle; a relentless hatred of the enemy, impelling us over and beyond the natural limitations that man is heir to and transforming him into an effective, violent, selective, and cold killing machine. Our soldiers must be thus; a people without hatred cannot vanquish a brutal enemy.”
#7. “I ended the problem with a .32 caliber pistol, in the right side of his brain. . . . His belongings were now mine.”
#8. “Our technical comrades at the companies have made a toothpaste … which is as good as the previous one; it cleans just the same, though after a while it turns to stone.”
#9. “My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood.” “I’d like to confess, Papa, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing.”
#10. “It’s a sad thing not to have friends, but it is even sadder not to have enemies.”
Extremism in the pursuit of liberation is no vice. If I was in bondage, and I can threaten my enemy with nuclear weapons, I will do so. Liberation is not free, it's currency is usually in human lives. If he said #1, then I completely agree with him.
No sources for the rest of the quotes so I cannot comment on them until I know for sure he said that.
He wasn't against bondage, what do you think socialism is?
Think of it this way, do you not use an umbrella when it rains because your legs still get wet while using it? ofc not, u understand that it greatly improves your situation. The same goes for self imposed socialism against imperialism
Yes freedom is relative. A man being freed from prison into a socialist society is being freed even though he is going into a world with some freedom restrictions. So he may not advocate for maximum freedom that doesn't mean I should stop supporting what he fought for
