WAWARSING – The Iran deal is not just a deal between the US and Iran. It is a seven-nation agreement (plus the European Union). The US is only one of the nations who have agreed to abide by the deal. The others are Iran, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Seven nations painstakingly negotiated this agreement and if one of those nations backs out of it there should be a penalty — don’t you think?

Usually in life if you commit to do something and then don’t do it there are consequences. This so-called president doesn’t exhibit an understanding of consequences or accountability. If he backs out of this deal the others in the deal should put sanctions on the US and Trump will be to blame. Maybe then he will begin to learn what accountability is and maybe so will his followers. One can only hope.
