2019-06-19 at 4:46 PM UTC in Can someone explain why we pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal?It's very unlikely Iran even wants nuclear weapons; Khamenei has explicitly decreed (through fatwa) that nuclear weapons are haraam and contravene the laws laid out in the Qu'ran

the real tl;dr is :
OIL.
the US is capable of supplying 1/4 of the world's oily needs and if iran was let loose to pour as much oil into the market, it will nudge US into supplying only 1/5 or the worlds demand.
thats … lots and lots of billions.
While I agree with the sentiment, those projections are absurd. Fracking is a ponzi scheme and wells are drying up around twice as fast as investor prospectus had projected. US oil output is not stable or sustainable. Gas (LPG) yes, oil no way -

Apparently the majority of Americans supported withdrawal from the deal, at least in Gallup polling. How were our interests supposed to be hurt by lifting sanctions and preventing an Iranian nuclear program? Was the argument that there was still a secret nuclear program or what?
Essentially the goal of the JCPOA was for it to be the first step in normalising relations; Iran would scale down its nuclear research and prove that it wasn't building weapons to the satisfaction of the IAEA and in return the sanctions and embargoes that have been in place over decades would be reduced.
It was never meant to be a complete disarmament treaty or anything like that; it was meant to grant temporary concessions from both sides as a starting point for long-term negotiations. Trump and much of the US government seem to either not understand or not want to understand that and have rejected it as ineffective essentially because it does not force Iran to irreparably dismantle its (civilian) nuclear program. It's the same story with North Korea; talks have fallen apart (again) because the US is not interested in concessions made by both sides, they expect the other side to completely disarm and simply trust the US will keep to the terms afterwards.
The primary issue Trump seems to have with the JCPOA is the 'sunset clauses' which essentially allow Iran to return to pre-agreement enrichment levels after the JCPOA concludes, ie. it does not force Iran to permanently cripple its nuclear infrastructure. -

2019-06-19 at 8:28 AM UTC in The Retarded Thread: Malice Metro EditionI wonder
if I were to write a short story about covert Russian interest political groups steering the US into wars for Russia's benefit in the exact same way israel does, would I get positive reviews in MSM sources like WaPo/NYT?
