John do you not read?  Did you not see the comment “It isn’t about POTUS or any other US politician…”

 

Everything is not about any particular politician John.  You are suffering from the classic TDS.

Didn’t sound like much of a deal to me.  Iran must stop all refining of uranium, for no theocratic regime must be allowed, particularly ones which have made no secret of wishing to destroy Israel.

Remarks?  How about actions.  To nuke Los Angeles and San Diego would require a ship from Iran.  The ship would need to pass thru the Strait of Hormuz.

One would think instead he would blockage the Strait of Hormuz, even at great political cost.  Wouldn’t one think that?  John, might you conclude that he should be preventing San Diego and Los Angeles from being nuked by actually taking actions to prevent that outcome.

 

One might conclude that this is the most rational thing to do: blockade the strait.  Result: the Iranian currency collapses (check) the resources needed to continue refining uranium dry up (check) the population becomes restless, the regime collapses, a new Iranian government arises which exports oil, lets the Iranian people worship or not as they please, prosperity returns to Iran and they stop the insane creation of nuclear weapons, for the world doesn’t trust Iran with refined uranium.  Do you?
