Originally posted by aldra Speaking of Iran, requesting Suleimani serve a diplomatic role and then assassinating him when he showed up is something that foreign governments are not going to forget any time soon.
There is a reason most other countries have foreign affairs handled long term as part of their civil services apparatus.
It's because it is impossible to behave with proper long term diplomatic manners when a new government full of retards come in swinging their dicks with zero respect for office and a 4 year agenda looking to become an 8 year one.
The US before showed that we COUKD still handle foreign relations with some cunning and intelligence anyway, but with the Trump administration proves exactly how abusable the same system is when you act in the worst possible faith n -

Those pictures you saw of kids in cages on the news were images from 2014. -

Best example is probably the JCPOA/Iran nuclear deal.
Unilaterally withdraws from an international agreement the previous administration fought for, applies sanctions to countries that still try to make it work, and expects Iran to still adhere to its conditions even though he's effectively stopped anyone else from reciprocating.
It's not just that one instance though, the pattern of breaking or withdrawing from long-held international agreements (ie. nonmilitarisation of space, European SRBM/ABM treaties etc) has demonstrated the US cannot be trusted to hold to any kind of agreement, and non-allied/vassal states like Russia and China have had to change their policies to take this into account.
That deal lead directly to nuclear weapons for Iran. If treaties are bad for the US should we just stay in them? -

Iran has no nuclear weapons, nor do they want them. Khamenei has explicitly said that they consider nuclear weapons to be 'haram', and on a more practical level they offer no significant benefit over nerve agents for a significantly greater political risk.
The IAEA has consistently found them in complete compliance. -

We then that settles it. If Khamenei said it must be true. Because he has never lied to the world before.

2020-07-31 at 2:40 PM UTCHe's the supreme religious authority of a quasi-theocratic state. He can't get away with saying things are forbidden according to Islam and then doing them anyway.
Do you have any actual evidence that they exist? israel's been claiming they're '1-5 years away from a bomb' since the 70s, never actually providing proof, just a lot of theatrics.
What do you think the benefit of them developing nuclear weapons would be?
Even without them they have the ability to destroy large swathes of israel and anything in the Persian Gulf, making them redundant in a tactical sense. Having them wouldn't stop israel and the gulf states' sabotage and low-level warfare.
In fact becoming nuclear-armed would only increase hostility against them and reduce their ability to control escalation in a real war. -

Doesn't know anything about the JCPOA^
Without the deal they do not need to be subject to IAEA inspections, have no limits on their nuclear activity and can begin their program pretty much immediately. It was pretty much the only lid on their nuclear program, in exchange for money that was already theirs.
The JCPOA was supposed to delay their development of nukes until at least 2030, which it was right on track for according to all international bodies that had the authority to check, with minor infringements if any. -
