U.S. and Iran to begin indirect talks on limiting nuclear program

[RetiredUSN]

Pakistan is, by virtually every metric, more corrupt, unstable, violent, aggressive, and more incompetently run than Iran.

Yet I'm supposed to piss myself in fear that Iran has a nuclear program. Right.

Pakistan is fighting against Islamic extremists while Iran sponsors Islamic extremists.

Who was hiding Bin Laden again???

 

[JacksinPA]

Well trump said he would have a better deal done in less than a day.

Is that in the same pocket as his healthcare plan???

Conservatives hate it when things actually get done...

Don't forget Trump's multiple 'Infrastructure Weeks' that produced absolutely nothing.

First, I agree Pakistan is one civil war away from chaos

But, we have a Religious Supreme leader that really calls the shots in Iran

And in Pakistan the shots are called by either the military, the ISI, the tribal leaders, and on occasion the Prime Minister.

lmao are you serious?

Pakistan is one of the biggest state sponsors of terrorism in the world. Ask India how Pakistan funds terrorists if you really don't know.

India isn't totally innocent either.

The Islamist extremists within the ranks of Pakistan's government are the problem.

The entire Iranian government is a terrorist organization.

lol

Every group that holds power in Pakistan funds terrorism on some level or another. And unlike Iran of recent memory, Pakistan has historically been governed by pretty incompetent leadership.

Good. Trump's idiotic withdrawal from the agreement was easily one of his biggest **** ups in a long list of **** ups.

The ironic part is that in spite of the worst foreign policy in US history, the deplorables hold it up as one of his greatest accomplishments.

Rod Serling himself could not have conceived of something so surreal.

Which one's?

School me.

Take your pick. The Pakistani military regularly coups its leadership and arrests and executes dissidents, the ISI literally funded attacks against the Indian government, and we couldn't even tell the Pakistani government about Bin Laden because we knew they would tell him.

Oh, and Pakistan's tribal leaders (including the Pakistani Taliban, different from the Afghan one), regularly carries out killings and bombings in Pakistan. By every metric, Pakistan more unstable and violent than Iran.

The ones really calling the shots in Iran nowadays is the Revolutionary Guard.

The ISI was one of the main sponsors of al-Qaida. Great people.

The Iranians are going to do what they want to do no matter who is the US President. Right now they are playing Biden like a fiddle. Just like they did Trump. When Iran is ready to announce they have nukes they will, US be damned. And Iran will do so on their terms at their time.

They are a year away from the nuke, just like last year, just like ten years ago, just like twenty years ago, just like thrity years ago.

Idiotic trust in a bunch of Mullah's playing around with nuclear fission & praying for the return of 12th Imam is today's liberal logic.

And yet every report from the IAEA inspectorate confirmed that until Trump idiotically withdrew from the agreement, Iran was in full compliance with her obligations under the treaty. Then the moron Trump decided that giving Iran the green light was a clever thing to do. Treaties work both ways; if America doesn't want to play why should we expect Iran to?

Pakistan is governed by Islamic extremist sympathisers!

The government banned a right-wing religious group, then gave in to its demands. Which way does it go now?

Requiring notice of inspection is not "in accordance" except for the freaking idiots who think so.;

You don't know what you're talking about. What do you think the Iranians are doing; hiding naughty stuff behind curtains, hoping it gets missed? These are huge facilities we're talking about and there's nothing you can hide. Furthermore IAEA inspectors aren't stupid.

Uh seriously? Pakistan is the single greatest proliferator of nuclear weapons technologies. How do you think North Korea got their nuclear bomb? Dennis Rodman?! I suppose you're one of those folks who thought Pakistan was completely unaware of Bin Laden's presence in a large compound within their own borders, eh?
