The Anti-Diplomacy And Anti-Deal Making Party: The GOP Used Bullying And Assassination To Start A War With Iran

A quick outline of how the GOP administration has used bullying and assassination to start a war with a country we had a nuclear deal with just two short years ago showing that the GOP are a party and media group that literally wages war on diplomacy.

Obama had an internationally agreed upon agreement with Iran curbing nuclear powerThe GOP literally had to fight democracy, diplomacy and America's National Security to get to the point where they removed a deal and put in place no deal with constant bullying of Iran in an attempt to get it to react.

Donald Trump could soon dismantle the agreement designed to curb the Iranian nuclear program. Our catheter cowboy will do his best to keep that from happening.





Instead of diplomacy, the GOP uses bullying and intimidation;

Another example: Here Pompeo blames Iran on Obama despite the fact that Obama had an internationally agreed upon agreement with Iran curbing nuclear powerThe GOP literally had to fight democracy, diplomacy and America's National Security to get to the point where they removed a deal and put in place no deal with constant bullying of Iran in an attempt to get it to react. 

Media Matters: Secretary Pompeo joins Fox & Friends to hype Iran as a threat to America and blame it on Obama Pompeo: The Obama administration gave Iran "the ability to put the terror team in place that we're seeing today, the very terror threat that we're facing"


BRAIN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): So Mr. Secretary, we understand that it's going to be an intense day today. Word is out that the Pentagon is asking for 5,000 troops to go into the region, it's revolving around the threat that you know about coming from Iran. What could you tell us here today? 
MIKE POMPEO (SECRETARY OF STATE): So, the threat is real. It's been credible. Without getting into specifics, you can be sure that President Trump will ensure that we have all the resources necessary to respond in the event that the Islamic Republic of Iran should decide to attack Americans or American interests or some of our great soldiers, sailors, airmen, or Marines that are serving in that region, or the diplomats serving in Iraq or elsewhere. The exact force posture the president is looking at every day. We're evaluating the risks, making sure that we have it right. This is an important mission. We have 40 years of terror coming out of the Islamic Republic of Iran and President Trump is determined to change the course of that regime. 
STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): There are stories that in the country of Iran, the sanctions have taken such a toll and the people are desperate. I mean, there's a lot going on, there's a lot of unrest in the country. So ultimately, the sanctions are working, the question is what do they do next.
POMPEO: Yeah. The sanctions have certainly had their intended effect. They have put constraints on the leadership in Iran's ability to foment terror. There are Hezbollah soldiers who are no longer being paid, or being paid a fraction of what they were being paid before. Their ability to expand their terror network around has been reduced. The previous administration took a different path. They underwrote that government, giving them hundreds of billions of dollars and the ability to put the terror team in place that we're seeing today, the very terror threat that we're facing. President Trump's taken a very different course of action. We are determined to stop not only their nuclear program and from them ever getting a nuclear weapon, but to prevent them from building up their missile program and conducting terror campaigns. 
AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): So the sanctions are working and they are retaliating as a result? 
POMPEO: Yeah. I think that's true. It's a little more complicated than that in the sense of -- you have to remember the history, they killed 600 American soldiers long before our pressure.
EARHARDT: Just the ones that are unclassified that we know about. 
POMPEO: That's right. Just before the pressure campaign, they blew up an embassy. There is a long history of Iranian terror that long predates our sanctions efforts. So, this isn't just about our sanctions. This is about the nature of this theocratic regime, these kleptocrats in Tehran. We're determined to push back against them.

Maddow: Rice: Risks likely outweigh benefits of killing Qassem Soleimani - Susan Rice, former U.S. national security advisor, talks with Rachel Maddow about whether the U.S. is likely safer and more secure with Qassem Soleimani dead or to have left him alive and dealt with him another way.



Asymmetry of Iranian attacks makes defense difficult to plan for - Susan Rice, former U.S. national security advisor, talks with Rachel Maddow about whether the U.S is already at war in Iran and whether the Trump administration is doing enough to raise defenses against a threatened retaliatory attack.


US servicemembers abroad at increased risk after Trump Iran attack - Rachel Maddow notes that there are thousands of American servicemembers within reach of the influence of Iran whose lives are at increased risk after Donald Trump's provocative killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.

Iran's past suggests range of potential threats to US interests - Rachel Maddow looks at how Iran has expressed aggression toward the U.S. and U.S. interests in the past as a way of framing what Americans might expect in terms of the new threat provoked by Donald Trump, not the least of which is extensive cyber capabilities.


Repercussions of Soleimani killing grow as retaliation threat looms - As the U.S. prepares to deal with the fallout in the wake of Soleimani's death, Ambassador Wendy Sherman and Former Deputy National Security Advisor to George W Bush Juan Zarate join Andrea Mitchell to discuss where things go from here. Amb. Sherman also pushes back on Secretary Mike Pompeo blaming the Obama administration for the situation in Iran, with Sherman arguing that Obama successfully pursued a diplomatic approach to Iran through negotiating the nuclear deal.
