There already was a deal in place that would have stopped Iran from ever building a bomb and Trump tore ..

up that deal and now he is starting an unneeded war over Iran’s nuclear program?

We had a deal worked out to keep Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon and Donny tore up
that deal which allowed for 24/7 inspections any place in Iran by the International atomic energy
administration to make sure Iran wasn’t building a nuclear weapon. You can’t build a nuclear
weapon without bomb grade nuclear materials and the treaty that President Obama, Secretary of
State John Kerry, and Sec. of Energy/Chairmen of M.I.T. physics department Ernie Moniz got
done did just that.

There are two ways to get bomb grade nuclear material: # 1 is by enriching Uranium 235 until it is
95% pure by the use of centrifuges which the treaty stopped Iran from having or making plutonium in
breeder reactors which Iran did not have and the agreement made it impossible for Iran to have such
reactors and you can’t build or have such devices without leaving evidence of having such a programs.
Radiation leaves fingerprints even if you remove the source of that radiation.

Every country in the world should now treat the United States and Donald Trumps as pariahs and
threats to the World’s peace. They should shut down all trade, recall their ambassadors, and sell off all
“the paper” they are currently holding of the United States debt aka T-bills and bonds to force Trump
to stop his madness. Trump and Miller’s madness is to the point that every American in the world
will now become a target and does this get us into the internal politics of Iran which has a big red
neon sign saying, “Stay the hell out of this mess.”

That crazy Mother Fucker is willing to kick off WW III because the Epstein Files* shows him to
be a child rapist and a member of an ongoing international criminal conspiracy that includes,
Vlad, Israel, Musk, Tiel, Les Wexner**, various other Middle Eastern Countries, and criminal organizations.

* Other sources show these FACTS too.

** Columbus Ohio’s very own.

This was always going to happen. Trump's and Netanyahu's bloodlust demanded it.

black mail, torture, kidnapping, bank fraud, prostitution, election rigging, money laundering,

5. Iran was violating the deal, it was a meaningless piece of paper

This is an unfortunate fact.

They ignored the 3.67% enrichment limit

They exceeded stockpile limits

They used advanced centrifuges that were prohibited.

They expanded enrichment to additional facilities, which was prohibited.

They obstructed IAEA oversight.

There was no diplomatic solution to this one. Any deal with them would be covertly broken while they worked forward with their nuclear program.

IMO, we should have done this weeks ago, when the protests were at their peak, and saved lives. Fuck Trump for being slow, lazy, and idiotic. His inaction has the blood of tens of thousands of good Iranians on his hands.

7. Had the CIA not overturned the democratically elected government of Iran in 1953, we might not be at this point today.

They were protecting the profits of the US and British oil giants of the day. The people of Iran have suffered ever since, through the US-installed Shah's brutal persecutions to the brutal repression and persecution of the ayatollahs. The illegal actions of government have consequences that can last for decades. I fear that we will suffer many consequences well into the future from Trump's depredations on other countries.

8. But the black dude accomplishment must be undone
Sat Feb 28, 2026, 07:11 AM

One of the primary goals of mango Mussolini and his handlers was to undo everything that Obama had accomplished.

They needed to erase everything that 'uppity black man's stood for.

Nearly Universal health care. Destroy it.
Iran deal. Destroy it
Pandemic response team. Destroy it
Protecting dreamers. Destroy it.
Protections against the greed and incompetence of banks and vulture capitalists. Destroy it.
Improved academic standards and actual accountability. Destroy it.

Like the klan tried to erase black wall street in Tulsa and similar places in Kansas City, they still want to erase the black president and his accomplishments from history
