I hadn’t seen this before. It’s probably the best and most direct explanation of why the Iran nuclear deal was awful that I have seen. Highly recommend everyone takes a few minutes to watch.
Highlights:

- Those most affected (Israel and Arab States) opposed the deal.

- The deal allows Iran to simply "walk-in to the nuclear club" after delay period.

- Iran could still legally advance their program during that delay period.

- Iran kept ballistic missile program.
- Sanction relief, even more than handing over a hundred+ billion in frozen assets, fueled Iran's war machine throughout the Middle East.

- Restoring sanctions turns a tailwind for Iran's efforts into a headwind.

The fact that a major Presidential candidate can use someone like Shaun King as a surrogate and promote them in this way without any consequences or scrutiny is insane.
Keep in mind, king has been called out for essentially being a conman by quite a few prominent figures on the left. This isn't just someone who is controversial on the right.

And that's not even getting into his consistent bigotry, conspiracy theories, and dishonesty.
Seriously, how are we this far into the primary and Bernie hasn't faced any scrutiny outside of conservative media for his collection of insane, bigoted, and deplorable surrogates?

Hasn't once been asked to defend association with people like Sarsour or King.

1) This makes it clear the attack came from her camp and with her consent.

2) I like the call for unity at the end immediately after she accused one of her main opponents of dismissing the possibility a female could win the election.
Warren has made a real habit of preaching unity as a shield while launching the most vicious, and often dishonest, attacks against her opponents. She did it to Biden, Pete B. etc.

Will be interesting to see how Sanders responds tomorrow given his camp already called it a lie.
Hi @fshakir, any response now?

Turned out that your view of what Warren would say was wrong. Are you still saying it is a lie, thereby accusing Warren of lying now?

Articles like this make me think the press is being fed by sources making stuff up. So many reasons this is clearly wrong.

1) They cite an anonymous former Pentagon official, anon former WH officials, and anon former admin officials on WH thinking now. How would they know?
2) I'm skeptical that Trump would ask for such an option, but that just doesn't happen. If POTUS asks for a specific option, they don't just ignore the request.

3) I know for a fact that previous Presidents have been presented the option so suddenly Trump wouldn't be?
4) They spend most of the article comparing apples and oranges. It's true that Trump has lost some key advisers, but plenty of Iran experts still at the Pentagon. The situation has changed a lot more than the people presenting possible options.

 Following today's decision by France, Germany & the UK to trigger the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) dispute mechanism, it is important to take a look back at #Iran's numerous JCPOA violations.
2)
 If any party to the deal believes Iran has violated the agreement, they can trigger a dispute resolution process that could, within as few as 65 days, end at the UN Security Council with a so-called snapback of UN sanctions on Iran.

 As the EU (and Obama loyalists) scramble to save the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), let’s talk about how Tehran’s history of violating the deal, and appeasers looking the other way.

2)
 The deal states limitations on all enrichment-related activities.
Para A Sec 7
“During the 15-year period & as Iran gradually moves to meet int’l qualification standards for nuclear fuel produced in Iran, it will keep its uranium stock under 300 kgs.”
europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/122460…
3)
 This demonstrates that Iran’s announcement that it had surpassed the 300-kilogram cap is in direct violation of the JCPOA.

“Iran's threat to exceed the limits on its stockpile of enriched-uranium reveals a fatal flaw in the 2015 nuclear deal that bolsters the need for a fundamental renegotiation of the agreement.”Said leaders of United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI). #iran
“The Iran nuclear deal was fatally flawed form the start.” Said Ambassador Mark Wallace “It left Iran with industrial scale nuclear industry that allowed them to enrich and weaponize at their time of choosing. “Iran’s actions reveal that fatal flaw. #iran
“The ease with which Iran can restart and ramp up its nuclear program should alarm the world. The international community cannot allow Iran to engage in nuclear blackmail without any consequences” Senator Joe Lieberman
