ComradeCosmobot posted:Depends. Are you a Congressional Republican? Congressional Republicans, the people who got an elected democratic president to agree to chained cpi and the virtual dismantlement of Our Legacy to Society, Social Security and walked away from it. These are really the people we should be listening to about strategy.

TheDisreputableDog posted:Uh you realize that even the Obama Administration admits this deal only kicks the can down the road? It temporarily increases their breakout point to a year, but that will continue to diminish to practically zero. On the other hand, Iran has been just a year away from the bomb for most of my life. Then recently Bibi kept telling us that the bomb was coming any day that we didn't bomb the living poo poo out of Iran. Seems to me guaranteeing that Iran will be just a year away 10-15 years from now is an improvement. Everyone remembers Iran's roll in 9/11. Though I'm sure you could write quite a good dissertation comparing our activities in Afghanistan and Iran that comes to the conclusion that coming to a deal with Iran instead of continuing over 30 years of angry saber rattling is in fact a very good post 9/11 lesson.

TheDisreputableDog posted:Actually one of our main ideas is "don't flub Syria so badly that we simultaneously empower Putin (who rolled in like the grownup at the pool) *and* gave ISIS the breathing room to self-organize and roll into Iraq" Clearly if the Romney White House are started arming the Syrian rebels from day one things would be better off today. Why didn't Congress approve Obama's request to start bombing Assad when he crossed the red line?

Continue sanctions, destroy Iran's economy, and ensure that they become a nuclear pariah state that continues to support terrorism, because what we want is another country that a) has the bomb and b) hates our loving guts. Like North Korea but in the Middle East! Except North Korea's bombs can't do anything more than explode on their own territory, and as such are not a threat at all. People grossly overplay North Korea's nuclear capabilities.

Here's a quick rundown of all the Republican candidates' reactions so far to the Iran deal:quote:“President Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran will be remembered as one of America's worst diplomatic failures," Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said in a statement. "The deal allows Tehran to dismantle U.S. and international sanctions without dismantling its illicit nuclear infrastructure -- giving Iran’s nuclear weapons capability an American stamp of approval. In crafting this agreement, President Obama has abandoned the bipartisan principles that have guided our nonproliferation policy and kept the world safe from nuclear danger for decades. Instead of making the world safer, this deal will likely lead to a nuclear arms race in the world’s most dangerous region." quote:Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) accused Obama of "negotiating from a position of weakness" and said that he did not expect the deal to be approved by Congress. quote:Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) said that the agreement wasn't diplomacy, but appeasement. "The nuclear agreement announced by the Obama Administration today is a dangerous, deeply flawed, and short sighted deal," he said. "Based on initial reports and analysis, it appears this agreement does not 'cut off all of Iran’s pathways to a nuclear weapon' -- in fact, over time it paves Iran’s path to a bomb." quote:Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) echoed the criticisms of his fellow Republicans, but also referenced Americans currently being detained in Iranian prisons. quote:The deal could be a possible "death sentence" for Israel, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). The foreign policy hawk told MSNBC on Tuesday that it was "the most dangerous, irresponsible step I have ever seen in the history of watching the Mideast. Barack Obama, John Kerry, have been dangerously naive about the Mideast in general." quote:Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) made similar comments, saying that the deal would allow Iran to "wipe Israel off the map" and "bring death to America," according to Reuters. quote:The deal is likely to lead to an arms race in the Middle East, said former Hewlett-Packard executive and Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on CBS This Morning. quote:New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) tweeted that Obama had made "humiliating concessions" and "should have walked away." You might notice that there are two names conspicuously absent from this list.
