Taliban more powerful than 4 years ago. Islamic extremism growing more rapidly nearly everywhere in the world. Hate for the west is growing.

Oh, but the UAE and Israel shook hands! Great work! Peace in the middle east!

In reality, why the deal was struck:
US plans sale of F-35 fighter jets to UAE in $23B arms deal
If only we had a nuclear agreement.

Um...assuming this is true (it's the NYT after all)-why is it an issue? Iran is an enemy of the US, a rogue power and a major state sponsor of terrorism. OUR president should be asking his experts what methods are available to destroy their enriched uranium stockpile and weapons development program. That's his JOB. He needs to at least know what the military is capable of before formulating a response. Guess what? Hillary, Barry and Joe would, if they are remotely competent, have asked the same question.

So much drama from the peanut gallery.

Maybe they would not be growing if we had never bombed and invaded them for the last 40 years.

It might be time to hide the nuclear football, or replace it with a fake one.

Let's hope he doesn't kill us all in the next two months.

Every single point you made in this post is wrong.

If Biden restarts the JCPOA, that will destabilize the region.

I drank a lot of coffee today so I will give a full response..


My first statement: Trump is asking because he knows Iran built up their power under his watch.

Proof to support the statement:
Iran's nuclear breakout ability is more dangerous than ever

Iran’s Enriched Uranium Stockpile Is 12 Times Nuclear Accord’s Cap, U.N. Agency Says

Satellite imagery captures construction underway at Iranian nuclear site

Second Statement: It's comical how stupid the Trump "list of achievements" is when one of them is "brought peace to the middle east".
President Donald J. Trump Brokers a Historic Peace Agreement- Whitehouse.gov

Trump has no problem padding himself on the back. I find great irony in this considering less than 7 days later it was announced the UAE had agreed to buy billions in weapons. Some 'peace'.

Statement 3: Iran more powerful than 4 years ago

This is no secret. There naval, nuclear, and SPACE capabilities have expanded greatly.

Statement 4: Al-Qaeda more powerful than 4 years ago
Al-Qaeda is stronger today than it was on 9/11

Statement 5: Taliban more powerful than 4 years ago and extremism growing
Islamic State's expanding terror footprint, Taliban's growing ambitions make peace in Afghanistan elusive

Trump asked for options. So? Its not like he bombed them.


I bet we have military plans to take out Canada. its not like that means Canada is at all, or should be, worried about it. This is a big much ado about nothing. Now if Trump decided to actually strike that would be different. But its not.
