Obama Defends His 2015 Iran Deal, B-Slaps Trump

We Didn't Have to Kill a Whole Bunch of People'

Former President Barack Obama mounted a forceful defense of his 2015 Iran nuclear deal with a pointed jab at President Donald Trump's war with the regime, arguing his administration "pulled it off without firing a missile."

"In a pointed jab at Trump's strikes and the subsequent shuttering of the key trade route through the Strait of Hormuz, Obama insisted that the deal was "working."

"Not only did I think it was working, even Israeli intelligence thought it was working, even our intelligence services thought it was working," he said.

"So, there's no dispute that it worked. And we didn't have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz."

The only problem with Obama's Iran deal was that the black guy did it.

Israel played Trump like the Chump that he is, what with giving him his own Israeli Temple Coin, billboards to him all over Jerusalem, propaganda films like, "Thank You God and Donald Trump" and more:

His Iran deal was a disaster. Flew them pallets of cash in the middle of the night, for starters. Obama is recognizing he's becoming irrelevant and it pisses him off. It's why he's constantly spouting off of late.

Now you are just lying; spouting your Cult Hero's Lies:

Obama is what a real President looks like; a rational, intelligent human being, unlike the evil POS you obfuscate for here daily.

Then surely you would love to tell us about the bad things that happened because of the Six Nations Framework.

"Obama is recognizing he's becoming irrelevant and it pisses him off."

That, of course, is the position Trump finds himself in, after invading Iran with no clear victory condition, and no clear face-saving capitulation strategy.

Wow, that's amazing. It's a recap of all the talking points Republicans were spouting off because Obama actually negotiated a successful agreement with Iran.

Tell me, do you have to lie to yourself at home in order to believe this or do you just lie to us because you're bored and hoping to troll.

To put another way, do even you believe your lies?

Okay, let's start there.
Whose cash?

"His Iran deal was a disaster."

Not according to the negotiators. The US got something it had only dreamed of: monitoring supply chains. Not anymore. And Hormuz stayed open.

Trump's "deal" won't be anywhere near as good as the deal he tore up, and the world will be singing The Hormuz Blues by the first day of summer.

"US Senate blocks latest bid to rein in Trump Iran war powers, support grows

WASHINGTON, May 13 (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked the latest Democratic-led effort to end the Iran war until it is authorized by Congress, but the measure edged closer to passage as a third Republican voted to advance the bill.

The Senate voted 50-49 not to advance the war powers resolution, nearly along party lines. Three Republicans joined every Democrat but one in backing the measure sponsored by Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon.

This might end up being DJT's back door out; he can just tell a couple of his toadies in the Senate that it's OK to vote us out of the war.... and then he can blame it on Congress.

Tore up?

Not sure what you're defending .... because the deal had already sunset, (October 2025) many restrictions, including limits on the number and quality of uranium-enrichment centrifuges Iran could operate had expired.

Then 5 years from then another sunset Iran could process to any level of uranium enrichment, how ever much wanted.

Not sure how it stopped anything regarding where we are today.

One has to wonder if OneTrumper actually thinks anyone believes his bullshht.

All his posts are as tactful as his claims of being an open border, liberal.

What a sad waste of time and water he is.

"His Iran deal was a disaster."

We could do a new game show called
"Who said it: Trump or Jeff"
And of course the answers would always be something Trump said first, and JeffJ parroted later.

6 Nations came together and created a peace agreement with Iran.

Republicans dubbed it "Obama's deal".

Conservatives lost their minds. (Jeff's still repeating the propaganda.)

The amount of hate and ignorance and racism that flows through the blood of MAGA is astonishing.

Also, this war isn't Trump's war, it's Netanyahu's war and Trump's his patsy.

100% oops, onepigheadedsmoothbrainaut:
Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement in 2018 and has maintained that this action was necessary to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Sucks to be as stupid as you, onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut.

Willie: "Don't 'ya just hate national bankruptcy and economic ruin?"

Frankie: "Yeah, I hate when that happens."

Willie: "I mean, doncha just love voting for the same dinosaurs who flushed our country down the drain?"

Frankie: "I hate it. I'm just gonna hate voting for them on Tuesday, 3 Nov 2026."

#22 Bernie Sanders is 84 years of age and has been in Congress for 35 years.

Oh, do tell us, Caius Marcius Coriolanus...

Does that make Bernie Sanders one of "the same dinosaurs" who flushed our country down the drain, as "Willie" says?

Please do elaborate.

"His Iran deal was a disaster."

I was really busy back then.. I may have missed that.

Can you remind us how long the straits were closed that time and how many Americans died and how much food prices gas prices and the cost of living increased after that "disaster"?

The only thing that is increasingly irrelevant is your opinion.

MAGA really does make you stupid.
