Any chance Trump will do the obvious right thing and keep the deal or work to expand it?

The US will pull out of the deal while the other nations try to hold Iran to the agreement.

I hope NK will take note. Don’t sign agreements with the US.

Ever since day 1 they have been dishonest, cheating and lying.

Look at the Natives, for an example.
They are cheating Russia too by expanding Nato to Russia’s borders.
Now they are cheating Iran.

A very dishonest country. The Natives were right. The white man speaks with a forked tongue.

i've heard Trump complain about the deal pleny (never heard him demonstrate any knowledge about it though)... and haven't heard him explain how it helps to pull out of it

so... he could do like with the budget & claim he hates it yet goes along with it claiming some win on some nonsense

Trump always does this stupid bullshit. Brinksmanship and then he backs off if you give him a little bit of what he wants.

The only things he doubles down on is stuff that Obama was heavily involved in. Then he goes full retard and tries to kill it.

Which basically means the Iran deal is dead.

Stupid Orange fuck.

"I hope NK will take note. Don’t sign agreements with the US."

Trump's new National Security Advisor John Bolton went on TV and stated that the administration was using the disarmament of Libya as a model for North Korea.

Gaddafi as you may have noticed, is now DEAD, and Libya is torn to shreds.

And that Trump's National Security Advisor.

If that doesn't tip off Kim Jong-fool, nothing will.

Okay that's fucking retarded. It takes a special level of self-centeredness to fail to realize that Kim Jong Un might not want to get the Ghadaffi treatment just because it'd be good for American strategic interests.

Possibly. I'd say there's an equal chance he's just stuck in his neocon tunnel vision and is incapable of realizing that certain events showed that, yeah maybe Ghadaffi should have kept that WMD program after all.

John Bolton is at his best when he's at the U.N. ranting about how shit the U.N. is. He has no business being near actual policy formation.

North is going to head up a private (LEGAL) organization. Wasn't he punished for the Itan Contra deal?

Kerry is negotiating to try to keep the 'Iran Deal' alive which is against the law. How do we know it is non-military if he is meeting Iran's foreign minister behind closed doors? I don't think they are talking over old times, do you?

Well, Netanyahu is officially a genius.

"Okay we have an oppurtunity to have Trump torpedo the Iran deal, what's the best way to go about this? I know, someone buy a thousand CDs and put them on this shelf, and someone else print out a gigantic banner saying 'IRAN LIED' for me to stand next to. Make sure my entire speech is in English to make it even more blatantly obvious who it's for. After that, just a quick appearance on Fox and Friends. Yep, that should do it."

The EU could retaliate against US businesses if it wanted to, and might even be able to get support from others to get the US to back the hell off. It's not like the EU is some tiny nation that can be pressured if isn't inclined to take it.

murder/jergul:

I think that's unlikely to work.

Trump isn't going to back down on a sanction war, and while EU companies will howl about sanction blocking business on Iran, it won't save them from the pain of US sanctions so the cost benefit for those companies remains overwhelmingly to comply with US sanctions if it is a choice to do business with the US or Iran. EU counter sanctions on US companies won't help change those companies minds really.

Only if there is a way to directly protect EU companies - particularly finance (needed for any trade) - from US sanctions. That's nigh on impossible I think.

We shall see.

The second thing is that Germany's pushing of ordoliberal models means the EU is dependent on external trade, particularly exports. This makes us far more dispensable to the US than the US is to the EU.

"I think EU will come into line and support us."

What reason do they have for this?

The world's nuclear watchdog has effectively rejected Israel's claims Iran lied about its nuclear activities, by referencing a report showing there were, "no credible indications of activities in Iran relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device after 2009".

Amendment means "can we placate trump with some meaningless concessions to save American face in the same way we have made meaningless concessions to Iran to save their face, e.g. letting them keep a few hundred old, crap centrifuges online so they can pretend they have a civil nuclear programme".

Of course the E3 is going to try and persuade Iran to stick with the treaty, but the reality is there is nothing they can offer: unilateral US sanctions will bite almost as hard as any additional EU ones due to the interconnections of global finance. The EU has no carrots or sticks they can meaningfully offer if the US is unilaterally imposing sanctions.

White House Sources: John Kerry’s Stealth Lobbying Backfired, Helped Kill The Iran Deal

News of former Secretary of State John Kerry’s alleged collusion with the Iranian government played a role in President Donald Trump’s decision to scuttle the Iran deal, two White House sources with direct knowledge of the president’s thinking tell The Daily Caller.

Trump announced he was pulling out of the deal Tuesday, just a few days after news broke that Kerry had been parlaying with Iran in an attempt to keep the deal alive.

A source inside the White House with knowledge of the decision process tells TheDC that the Iran deal was “done” when Trump found out about Kerry’s lobbying behind the scenes. “Trump was headed that way but Kerry just took away any of the teeth of the detractors,” the source said on background. “[Kerry’s] bulls**t ultimately killed the deal.”

Another source inside the West Wing confirms to TheDC that there was a frantic last-minute lobbying effort to keep the deal in place and that the timing of the Kerry news was “ironic.” The source specifically blames Kerry’s meddling in the process as a key decision point in the calculus for pulling out of the deal.

“It was by no means the reason [Trump] decided to pull out, but it certainly influenced the final decision,” the source continued. “I mean, read the tweets.”

President Trump attacked Kerry’s actions on Twitter Monday, saying, “The United States does not need John Kerry’s possibly illegal Shadow Diplomacy on the very badly negotiated Iran Deal. He was the one that created this MESS in the first place!”

Trump followed up, saying, “John Kerry can’t get over the fact that he had his chance and blew it! Stay away from negotiations John, you are hurting your country!”

Both sources confirm that Kerry’s actions hurt the lobbying effort by some in the West Wing to keep the deal in place.
