IN all the uproar over Trump patriotically slurping up Trump’s Obama today, there was a very interesting part of the press conference that is being ignored.
Here’s what Putin said about the Iran Deal:
We also mentioned our concern about the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA. Well, the US — our US counterparts are aware of our posture. Let me remind you that thanks to the Iranian nuclear deal, Iran became most controlled country in the world.
It submitted to the control of IAEA. It effectively ensures the exclusively peaceful nature of Iranian nuclear program and strengthens the non-proliferation regime.
Very interesting.
IN fact, Obama PRAISED PUTIN for helping him on the Iran Deal in 2015:
Mr Obama praised Vladimir Putin for his role in the agreement and said there could now be an “opening” for further detente in the worst crisis in American-Russian relations since the Cold War.
And…
Russia worked hard to achieve a nuclear deal and Vladimir Putin praised the agreement achieved on Tuesday, saying that the “world heaved a sigh of relief” and promising that “Russia will do everything” to implement it.
“The political will demonstrated by these six states and Iran in the course of these negotiations is a guarantee of the successful implementation of the plan of action designed for the long term,” he said in a statement.
The deal meets several Russian foreign policy goals, including ending the isolation of Iran, Russia’s key Middle Eastern ally, paving the way for Russia to develop Iran’s civilian nuclear programme, and potentially reopening a historically lucrative market for Russian arms.
Some Russian analysts fret that the return of Iranian crude to the global oil market will suppress prices, and that in the long term the deal will allow Tehran to seek new partners outside its close but often fractious alliance with Moscow.
Soooo if the media thinks Putin is the devil incarnate (he’s pretty close) then why do they believe the Iran Deal is so wonderful? If Putin loves it so much, then surely it can’t be a good thing right?
Or maybe the media are a bunch of biased dumbasses.
