The US road to hell is littered with broken treaties: American writer

[PRESSTV] "The US road to hell is littered with broken treaties," has said American writer and political analyst Daniel Patrick Welch while commenting on Washington’s violation of the nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers.

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
declared that his country is pulling out of the Iran deal, saying Washington will not only reinstate the anti-Iran sanctions lifted as part of the deal, but will also "be instituting the highest level of economic" sanctions against the Islamic Theocratic Republic.

Under the deal, reached under Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...
, Iran undertook to put limits on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related sanctions imposed against Tehran.

While talking to CNN on Wednesday, former US President

Jimmy Carter
...only the second worst president ever...
said that this "may be the worst mistake Trump has made so far."

"When a president signs an agreement, it should be binding on all his successors, unless the situation changes dramatically and it hasn’t changed," he added.

He also said that abandoning the nuclear agreement with Iran, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), could complicate the ongoing negotiations with North Korea.

#1 It was not a fucking treaty.

It was never ratified by Congress and is essentially butt wipe for the Iranians.

Did any of the other chumps that signed off on this thing have it ratified by their parliament?

It was not a treaty.

Just more twisting of words and playing fast and loose with meanings.

#4 It was not a treaty.

It was nothing more than an informal agreement, one that the Iranians weren't keeping. America gave everything, Iran gave nothing, it was a horrible deal. Valerie Jarret's doing, she felt a connection to Iran and wanted to do her people a favor.

#5 "When a president signs an agreement, it should be binding on all his successors, unless the situation changes dramatically

As has been pointed out repeatedly, IT WASN'T A TREATY!

And, in case you missed it, Obama's team lost the election. That was a dramatic change. When you make a deal with a lying traitorous pol you are stupid if you expect his opponents to honor it. Especially when you don't honor it to begin with.

Rot in hell Danny boy.
