Today the President has won the public commitment from enough U.S. Senators to uphold the agreement with Iran. This means the agreement will pass into U.S. law. He may even have enough Senators to block any Congressional resolution in opposition to the agreement and/or Congressmen to uphold a veto, if necessary.
Now that it is clear that the agreement will go into effect, what is your take on the future? As a matter of reality, not as a matter of wishful thinking.
This is has got to be one of the birth pangs of mashiach.
You’re wrong about one thing – the agreement won’t pass into law. The president can make agreements, and they are not considered laws. His agreements must comply with the laws of the US. That’s why Congress can stop the deal – they can pass a law which makes the deal illegal. Obama will veto such a bill. Obama has enough support to stop the override of a veto. Whoever is the next president can choose to back out from the deal if they want.
Iran will develop a bomb and we all will learn to live with it. IVe been saying this since March 2003 whn the US invaded IRaq
ubiquitin, I’m totally with you! There is an afterlife!
IT might work out, it might blow up in Obama’s face (he’ll be retired but hsi supporters will reap the benefits and pay the price). Remember that anything that requires a change in law won’t be happening so sanctions that are controlled by statutes aren’t affected unless Obama can get a majority in Congress rather than enough votes to override a veto banning the agreement.
As it is the agreement only stays in effect until Jan. 21, 2017.
And if it results in Iran helping to crush Islamic State, it will help the Democrats. If it leads to a war between Iran and America’s allies in the region, it will make the Democrats look like fools. Right now Islamic State is more to be worried about than Iran.
Joe, Congress made it clear that the agreement wouldn’t be binding on a future president – didn’t the Republicans send a letter to Iran stating that to be the case? So everyone is fully aware that another president can back out, and a Republican president probably would.
As for your toothpaste comment, that’s not necessarily true. The US is involved in a huge amount of the business Iran does, whether directly or indirectly. Transactions between Iran and other countries can have problems if banks with branches in the US are involved – the US can freeze the funds. Some other countries will also go along with the US.
As far as Iran becoming an existential threat to Israel, there’s little to fear. Israel will bomb them without any care to what the US or anyone thinks long before Iran comes close to getting a bomb. This is not like Gaza or Lebanon this genocide. So lets calm down and hope the mossad are informed enough when to make these decisions.
Mazel tov on the agreement . Zionism shouldn’t always be dictating American foreign policy decisions
Are you crazy? Israel is a country full of people. Real, living, breathing people.
the iranians can be counted on to say or do something so outrageous that all involved will be compelled to dissolve the deal.
the iranians are making it abundantly clear they they are not bound by any deals they may have signed.
you think its wishful thinking the iranians wont say or do something stupid?
So far, no one has said that Iran will get a bomb and destroy Israel. Why was there so much condemnation of Congressmen – particularly Jewish ones – who support the deal with Iran, if no one expects the destruction of Israel?
Nfgo3 because now Israel is forced to stop it. Israel will bomb Iran without support from any other country in the world. Whether or not Iran has a nuclear bomb at that point Israel risks her survival by attacking Iran but there won’t be a choice anymore other than to rely on an open miracle.
Israel already said they will attack if need be. Bibi said “we are not bound by this deal and we will defend ourselves”. The choice was to stop it through diplomacy or to let it get to the point that Israel bombs Iran. When that happens everyone will be mad at Israel and our tiny little country will be alone.
All I can say is I’m very happy that i have a safe room in my apartment and that it comes with an air neutralizer.
Nfgo3, just because nobody wants to speak out the unspeakable, doesn’t mean it’s not what people are afraid of.
Joseph
Israel won’t have a choice to not attack because Iran has already declared numerous times that they will destroy Israel. The choice is either to wait it out and hope for an open miracle when Iran does use the bomb that they will create or the other choice is to prevent them from getting the bomb (which would also be miraculous tbh).
Iran is no more and no less commited to destroying isran based on this deal. Their goal to destroy Israel is totally unrelated to the outcome of the deal. However, because of the deal, they will now have the means to create a bomb. They are not more interested in destroying Israel because of this deal, however, before they financially and realistically could not do so. Now, however they can.
