We had an agreement with our European allies and your hero ripped it up


to appease Putin. Any complaints about "ripping up agreements" is full-blown hypocrisy.

As for the specific agreement here, I'd rather have this conflict out in the open than having Iran secretly flouting the so-called agreement and using the money from the lifted sanctions to fund militias and terror all up and down the region. And the so-called agreement sucked anyway even if Iran abided fully by its terms, which they don't. Ten years from now they could just go ahead and build a nuke anyway. It was a crap treaty and if the price of breaking it is the death of a terrorist general, fine. This is small potatoes stuff anyway. We killed a general. Oh my God it's a prelude to nuclear war. Since Iran has been waging proxy conflicts for the last 20 or 30 years nonstop, and the Yemen conflict has been going on roughly since the treaty was signed, I really don't think "ripping up" the so-called treaty is what triggered this stuff anyway.
