Does it make us any safer? No. Does it make us less safe? No. You'll be hard pressed to convince me Iran actually gave up nuclear research even with a treaty in place. Iran is always a concern in the M.E. I'm not sure there's anything anyone can do, but I do feel Obama's deal was a paper dragon that accomplished little to nothing. JMO, of course.
It's not Iran itself using nukes that scares me. As a country, it just wouldn't be a prudent thing to do. And let's be honest, it's never leaders themselves who end up wearing a suicide vest. No, what worries me is how effective their security would be against the fanatics of their own religion looking to make a statement. Will they be able to protect nuclear material and keep it out of the hands of such fanatics?
Do you know more about Iranian compliance than General Dunford?
"The top general in the U.S. military said Tuesday that Iran is complying with a landmark nuclear deal and that the agreement has achieved its intended result of curbing Iran's nuclear program."
Both he and Mattis opposed withdrawal from the pact. Along with most of the rest of the free world. But you know better, don't you?
And what message does this send to North Korea? Answer: We are untrustworthy. Our accords are meaningless. Trump just shot himself in the foot.

I'm confused. You're gonna need to be more specific for me. Are you offended that I'm pointing out there are fanatics in Islam? In no way did I say all Muslims are fanatics.

Please! WTF are you talking about? It was a ridiculous deal and payoff cash 💰 drop. It was an Obama promise, it was Obamas word...not an American promise. There was wide spread opposition at the time. It was a terrible idea in the first place.
Again, Obama did it , without congressional support or legislative action...so dont throw out silly rhetoric about America not honoring its commitments and not being trustworthy.
Regular Iranians love us.
Not that I'm aware of.
Are you implying that his silence means the paradigm hasn't changed? That he would just run right out and let everyone know?
Are you serious? There is ample evidence that the Russians were within days, if not hours, of beginning their assault on Japan.
No, I am implying that there is no further information given by him. This does not necessarily mean there has been a change nor does it mean there has not been a change. Assumptions either way are just that, but the 8 month old statements are the best information anyone on this board has right now.
