The restrictions ending this year would make no sense to withdraw from the deal 7 years ago. We didn’t pay them to not make nuclear weapons

The deal did remove their capacity to have uranium to that level that’s the whole point. View attachment 749661

100 billion dollars. You can claim “we didn’t directly pay them”, but it’s all the same. We are sending them money so they won’t make nuclear weapons.

Sure, it did. For a limited time. In return we had to give them money, trade with them (more money for them), and allow them to buy arms.

No thanks. They chose to try making nuclear weapons. Now they’re dealing with the consequences

Whether you want countries to develop nuclear weapons or not, is irrelevant.

If they have the will and the monetary resources to pursue it, short of bombing or invading, there's no stopping a country from doing so.

That's the entire point of the current bombing and previous bombing and hacking and sanctions and all of it in Iran.

Yes, the world can't stop a country from wanting to go nuclear and spending time and resources toward going nuclear but the world, in particular their neighbors, the superpowers, and their enemies, can make it difficult for them.

Most countries take the hint which is why there are not many nuclear countries. Iran is a very slow learner.

Your proof that there’s no stopping countries from doing this is a sample size of 1 (South Africa)?

Not sure that link helps your claim

Tucker is a morally-flexible shock jock, no matter who his target of the week is. Tucker has made it clear over the years that he is in it for Tucker, not journalism.

You're entitled to your opinion. I think he's the only person doing any real journalism and asking uncomfortable questions but whatever. I understand years of shilling for networks left a bad taste in people's mouths.

It’s not semantics. Saying we gave them 100 billion dollars is just dishonest. The money was Iranian foreign assets none of it was ours

It’s semantics. At the end of the day, they had access to an additional 100 billion dollars than they did prior to the deal.

I’m not saying we lost 100 billion, but 100% they gained 100 billion from the deal

You would be a runner! Honestly, this old man needs to start doing leg day again. On a GLP1 so I’m dropping weight and trying to maintain muscle and it’s just difficult to find time for back, shoulder, chest, full time employment, fatherhood, and I’m trying to do jujitsu twice a week

He was a network shill for 25 years.

He’s the biggest shill out there. By far. You think he sucks up to the Qataris in the name of journalistic integrity?
