Christmas Tree 153 Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 While I’m quite prepared that it could all go tits up, people said similar when Trump went off on North Korea and that seems to be heading in a very positive direction. I appreciate that Iran is a bit more complicated given all the vested interests within Iran and all the trigger happy nutters in the region. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im not going to over argue this with any conviction because I’m only really going on the various discussions that have been highlighted on the news this week. But he and and many others in the US have big concerns about the deal and various aspects of it. Their ballistic missile plans The sunset clauses The limitations on inspections Irans activities in the region Now If Trump thinks that by imposing even heavier sanctions and taking a harder line he can pull off a better deal down the road, then that would be a good outcome. Judging by his recent desire to pull troops out of Syria, I don’t think he has any desire to get a war going. Just seems to me that he is taking a no nonsense business like approach to these sort of issues and as with North Korea it might produce a better result. Its equally quite possible that it goes tits up, but I don’t see it at the minute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rayvin 1,239 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 So Iran shot down the plane, according to the releases coming out now. And apparently will hand over the black boxes. They responded to the killing of their general by lightly grazing some US bases and killing 100 Iranians plus 70 or so others, none of whom were American. Pathetic.
