The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I've explained for 10 years why Obama's deal was ass. That this board chooses to pretend it wasn't and is driving a narrative that Iran is a superpower

I read your posts, although I admit I might miss a few here and there, and I also have to admit to not memorizing them (shame on me) so I’ll ask again, could you summarize for me why the Obama deal was such a fail, given that we have now bombed the shit out of Iran, killed their leadership, destroyed their Navy, and seem to have arrived at an even worse deal?

You don’t have to do paragraphs and paragraphs, heaven knows, but 9 or fewer sentences would be nice, given that you used 9 sentences to tell us that you weren’t going to tell us because you already told us.

So quick summary: which parts (or all) of the earlier agreements were “ass” and how could they have been better, given that they weren’t, they aren’t in Version 2.0, and seem even more remote in any possible Version 3.0?

Thanks.

The truth is that pallets of cash 0 that Obama and the predecessor of this board denied were ever flown to Iran

Point of order. Obama never denied this. He denied that they were “ransom”, but said on several occasions that the transfer had taken place.

and that Iranians cheated on the nuke deal the entire time

Do you have any proof of this? I ask because the international inspection teams which included experts from the US did not find such cheating, nor has an conclusive proof ever been offered by anyone, including and particularly those on the Right who allege this.

Thanks. Again.
