They'd have 80 fewer planes to airlift troops and military supplies to Syria.

drumpf will do NOTHING at all about this deal. Iran and Russia are now BFF and you know, Donny boy is not going to disappoint Vlad by throwing a wrench into the works.

Who are "other" nations? Russia and China were not bound by previous sanctions so it doesn't make any difference if there is an agreement in place or not. Agriculture and medicine were not covered by sanctions either, so what is left? Ok, so they can't import Swiss chocolate but they can live with that. What was killing Iran were financial sanctions which will affect Europe whether they tear up the plan or not. The US still has a huge influence on what happens in the world, whether others come along or not.

I firmly believe that once our military is back to normal capacity, not only in man power, but strategically sound to defend this country, Trump will do a "Harry Truman" on Iran.

It may take a few years to get to that point, But I believe it will happen.
I also don't believe the rest of the world will allow them selves to get involved.

Once again, we need to show the rest of the world we are a force to be reckoned with, and will back down to no one.
I believe it's called respect through power.

Bob.
We spend more on defense than the next 10 nations combined including Russia and China, what exactly is normal capacity.


If you believe that military force is a winning philosophy you're living in the 1940's, it hasn't worked out very well the last 15 years.

You want an inexperienced president to go to war with Iran?

Trump may lack experience, but the generals he is enlisting for his administration have enough experience to accomplish any military endeavor, whenever, and where ever needed.

Bob.

REALLY?

Why didn't they do it in Iraq then...where they bungled one mission after another?

They will get their planes from one of the other countries, France or Germany will be glad for the business.
