    How could it be hidden from the American people when it's been public for half a year?

    Also, UN report good now.

    Pootin dictates to compromised Trash to say " Europe" and Europe retorts " Trash"

    Europe Is Set to Needle Trump With Iran Trade Promotion Plan

    Three European powers are set to make good on

    a plan to help companies trade with Iran,

    defying President Donald Trump with a bid to bypass U.S. sanctions.


    The en y, which could be presented as early as Monday, is key to the

    European Union’s effort to save a 2015 nuclear accord with Iran

    after Trump withdrew the U.S.

    Whatever the economic impact, the push by

    the U.K., France and Germany is another sign of European exasperation with the president.

    A draft of an EU statement seen by Bloomberg welcomes the three-nation initiative as providing “a positive impact on trade and economic relations with Iran, but most importantly on the lives of Iranian people.”

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...-defying-trump

    And Pootin laughs his ass off at the success of his strategy to divide Europe and USA.

    And Pootin will laugh harder if Trash retaliates agains GB, D, F.

    Sold to an ally,lost to an enemy

    The US shipped weapons and secrets to the Saudis and Emiratis. Now, some are in the hands of fighters linked to al Qaeda and Iran.

    Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners have transferred American-made weapons to al Qaeda-linked fighters, hardline Salafi militias, and other factions

    waging war in Yemen, in violation of their agreements with the United States,

    The weapons have also made their way

    into the hands of Iranian-backed rebels

    battling the coalition for control of the country,

    exposing some of America's sensitive military technology to Tehran

    and potentially endangering the lives of US troops in other conflict zones.

    Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, its main partner in the war, have used the US-manufactured weapons as a form of currency to buy the loyalties of militias or tribes, bolster chosen armed actors, and influence the complex political landscape,

    By handing off this military equipment to third parties,

    the Saudi-led coalition is breaking the terms of its arms sales with the US,

    according to the Department of Defense. After CNN presented its findings, a US defense official confirmed there was an ongoing investigation into the issue.

    https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/...-lost-us-arms/

    Yet more countries playing stupid, ignorant, naive Trash's America for fools

    This is what all y'all Trash fellators voted for, right?

    But no worries, fils pourri geopolitical guru Jared Kushner has full control of the situation

    who could have guessed Iraq would have bridled at Trump's public suggestion that the US would make itself welcome in Iraq to "keep an eye on Iran"?

    President Trump’s unexpected announcement that he wanted American troops in Iraq to stay there to “watch Iran” achieved a previously unattainable goal on Monday: unity in the Iraqi political establishment.

    The problem for Mr. Trump was that the unity was a collective rejection of his proposal, and added momentum to proposed legislation that could hamper American troops’ ability to operate in Iraq. The measure, which is now being drafted, would limit American troop movements and activities in Iraq.

    Trash spewing from the toxic, diseased vacuum between his ears, not even consulting with his sycophantic staff.

    Maybe he talked to airhead Jared, and his ditzy bimbeau Ivanka

    WTF is Ivanka doing there?

    Also, it might have helped if Pence said "Please clap."

    Iran is still abiding by the P5+1 deal.

    The US, by cancelling sanctions waivers, is trying to get Iran and its partners to abandon the deal -- which would be a pretext for US war.

    This has been a case of the administration wanting to have its cake and eat it, since it takes for granted that Iran is complying with the agreement and tacitly acknowledges that the agreement is worth having. Iran hawks in the Senate, including Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, and Marco Rubio, have been leading the charge to cancel these waivers because they object to Iran’s nuclear program itself no matter what it is being used for. They don’t distinguish between legitimate civilian nuclear projects and illicit military ones, and they deliberately try to confuse them to mislead the public about what Iran is doing.


    The hawkish extremists have always wanted Iran’s nuclear program to be abolished, and if they can’t have that they want to create a pretext for conflict that allows for military action against Iran. Canceling these waivers would be the next step on the path to forcing Iran to abandon the nuclear deal and provide them with that pretext.
    Revoking the waivers certainly makes no sense for U.S. interests, as any credible arms control expert would tell you:


    Kelsey Davenport, the director of nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association, argued it would be a “dangerous and irresponsible decision not to renew the waivers.”



    “Failing to renew the waivers would be a huge own goal for the United States. It’s in US national security interests to ensure that Iranian nuclear facilities cannot be quickly reconverted for nuclear weapons purposes,” Davenport said. “If the United States stops the remaining states party to the agreement from fulfilling those projects, it puts them in violation for the deal which just gives Iran future justification for abandoning the agreement.”

    Bloomberg also reported on this earlier this month:


    “It’s insane from a nonproliferation perspective,” said Jarrett Blanc, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a former State Department coordinator for Iran nuclear implementation. “Deciding to throw that away because you need the next drumbeat of antagonism toward Iran is nuts.”

    Trump world is owned in no small part by Kushners debts to various Sheikhs.

    If you think Trump is going to "pull out of the middle east" you are even dumber than I thought you were two minutes ago.

    I have railed for years against various "false flag" conspiracy theories. Most false flags... aren't.

    Bolton and other long time ethically challenged chickenhawks getting charge of Iran policy from a lazy, disinterested and distracted president makes the picture as to what happned a lot less clear.

    The fact that a Japanese ship was hit at the same time the Japanese minister is negotiating... smells like a group trying to pin something on the Iranians.

    Also plausible is that this really was an Iranian operation, meant to underscore what they COULD do, if they so chose, a prod to get the US back to the table.
