Once an agreement is reached, a U.S.-Iran confrontation becomes more likely, more quickly.
…But hawks who believe that airstrikes are the only possible option for stopping an Iranian nuke should welcome a deal perhaps more than anyone. This is because the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is tailor-made to set Washington on a collision course with Tehran. The plan leaves the Islamic Republic as a threshold nuclear-weapons state and in the short-term insulates the mullahs’ regional behavior from serious American reproach. To imagine such a deal working is to imagine the Islamic Republic without its revolutionary faith. So Mr. Obama’s deal-making is in effect establishing the necessary conditions for military action after January 2017, when a new president takes office. READ MORE
I do not think this is a prudent plan. Obama is paring down our military capabilities too. Iran will be stronger, Russia will be stronger, China will be stronger and the next president will not be prepared to do what is necessary, what will happen is a war which we aren’t assured to prevail at. The other assumption is that Clinton doesn’t win, if Clinton wins, there is no assurance that she will see her duty to prevent Iran getting or increasing their hegemony. Clinton’s priority is money and fleecing the United States, if allowing Iran to become more and that coincides with her accrural of funds, there will be no way that she responds to any threat. This kicking the problem down the road and expecting any democrat to do anything like starting a war in order to prevent the calamity facing us with a nuclear Iran is delusional, on the same level as the President’s view of ISIS (however, I do not think this president is delusional concerning ISIS, I think this is a conscious decision to weaken us, yet another way.).
