    "France, in particular, stands to lose significant business dealings with Iran as a result of the reinstated sanctions.

    Losing deals to provide 100 new Airbus airliners, and

    opening a $5bn oil exploration project

    with Iran means real world economic consequences for a close ally of the United States."

    Russian companies to reap benefits after US withdrawal from Iran nuclear agreement

    Moscow remains less exposed to the economic consequences of US sanctions than Europe and its companies could even benefit from the move.

    “The deal and the lifting of sanctions in 2015 marked the return of European business to Iran. But it’s unlikely they can keep doing business today, giving room to Russia,”

    “Russia can now go ahead at full speed,”

    Russia and Iran once had difficult relations, but have seen ties improve since the end of the Cold War.

    While Tehran was shunned by the international community in the 1990s, Moscow agreed to resume the construction of the Bushehr Iranian nuclear plant that Germany had abandoned.

    Russia and Iran sought to strengthen their business ties long before the 2015 agreement, despite international sanctions in place.

    “European companies are more exposed to the US market, they must comply not to get into trouble. The Russians are less (exposed) and have less to lose,”

    Russian companies continued to work in Iran “without any fuss” even when the sanctions were in place.

    “They are used to working within legal and economic constraints. The US has systematically forced Iran to turn more towards Russia and China.”

    On a visit to Tehran on Thursday, Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said the two countries intended to continue “all round economic cooperation.”

    “We are not scared of sanctions,”

    “Russia wants to sell steel, transport infrastructure and other manufactured goods to Iran. The less compe ion from the US and the EU, the better,”

    Russia had a “real role to play” in Iran’s energy and electricity sectors.

    Another positive sign for the Russian economy is the rise in oil prices, which rose to their highest level since 2014 after the US withdrawal from the Iran deal.

    For the Russian state, whose finances remain highly dependent on natural resources, this is a significant source of income

    The US just willingly gave up its best chance to influence Iranian politics and society, while strengthening the hand of the hardliners and bringing us closer to war -- but maybe that was the whole point.

    Doesn't this undercut DJT's bid to rein in North Korea? Reneging on this deal undermines US credibility..

    the world has concluded that Trash is LIAR / deal breaker / back stabber / tweeter freak in all directions, has lost all credibility already.

    For every Pres power he can find, he's gonna use it, gratuitously, to over somebody somewhere, esp if it means ing over Obama.

    That's none of our business.

    Care to expound on this vague sweeping statement?

    -- but maybe that was the whole point.
    It wasn't. Trump obviously wants peace through negotiation, not war.

    Removing sanctions is mainly paid for by ordinary Iranians, undermines the secular government that negotiated with us, and reinforces the hardliners' insistence that the US can't be trusted in negotiations.

    Iran was in compliance with the deal; this result gives them an incentive to restart enrichment.

    what were the vital US interests threatened under the P5+1 framework and what vital US interests are served by walking away from it and reimposing sanctions?

    After the Iran deal: A foreign policy built on arrogance, ignorance and sheer desperation

    American foreign policy has long trended toward dark places. Under this administration, that has accelerated



    “This moment will be seen by historians as a key marker in U.S. decline as a world power,” the former British diplomat wrote the day after the White House announcement.

    after the Senate hearings Wednesday on Gina Haspel’s nomination as director of the CIA: “I think this might lead to some careful re-evaluation as to how one continues to think of the dear old US of A.”

    The complacency of American life begins to assume a pitiful triviality — providing one is sentient, has a conscience and is not paid to think in conformity with orthodoxy. America has long headed for trouble, of course. Last week it took a very steep step further down into it. It is getting too dark to see a way out of this.

    America grows ever more indifferent to alliances other than those dependent on a common adversary. Friendships with other nations seem no longer to matter, or even whether America is admired or respected.

    All signs indicate we now enter that

    late-imperial phase when power alone, raw power, is all we have to show the world.

    In love, politics, diplomacy, war and much else, a lot of destruction is wreaked when the desperate are defending themselves at a late stage in their time.

    Brace yourselves.

    The worst is yet to come.
    It is not just the spectacle of a gaggle of cops yanking a 79-year-old with a dislocated shoulder into handcuffs.

    It is that Uncle Ray was all alone.

    Where is everybody?

    The cops kept shouting at McGovern, “Stop resisting! Stop resisting!”

    What a line. Most of us got that done a long time ago.

    As Trash and his mafiya reduce America's "soft power" and influence, guess who gains? yep, Trash's BFF Pootin, just as Pootin has requested of the compromised traitor Trash.

    Saudi Arabia's untouchable Wahhabi sect is a huge exporter, financer of terrorism, but Trash has sold and will sell $10Bs more arms to SA.

    Trash violates the Iran agreement, but does nothing about any Iranian support for terrorism. Will Trash embargo Iranian oil exports?

    Just shows how tight these Globalists are and how widespread their influence was/is. When Hollywood turned against Trump that was the clincher.

    Sorry, all the quotes say what European countries could do, not should.

    IOW, more fake news from Chris.

    Damn shame tbh. If your party is openly game planning against your own country then it's time to admit they don't give a about you.
