Trump's Second Term

When you quoted Planigale, you omitted the sentence I am highlighting below:

What Planigale wrote is true. Iran did agree to limit its enrichment of uranium, and to allow verification by IAEA.

But that was years ago. After Trump unilaterally terminated that agreement, mostly because it had been negotiated by a Democratic president, Iran was free to enrich uranium far beyond 4%, and has done so. Trump is now using bunker-busting bombs to try to undo the disastrously failed foreign policy of his first term.
The graph here illustrates this nicely.
Iran dropped its uranium stocks dramatically having agreed to limit them. They kept them down for a year after the US cancelled the agreement whilst Iran pursued negotiations, Iran even tried to go to court to try to get the US to stick to the agreement but the US threatened to sanction the court if it found in favour of Iran. Subsequently there were many years with a slowly rising stockpile for action to have been taken. It was clearly a failure of Biden to return to effective negotiations with Iran.
 
What? I seem to have missed the bit where Hegseth explains "Because of the petty stupidity of the previous Trump administration in smashing up the Obama-era nuclear deal with Iran, we've now had to resort to these desperate measures. Sure hope those centrifuges weren't buried deeper than we guessed".
 
As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.

Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.
Right-wing version of DEI! No hint of competence considered.

So long as he isn't another Russian pretending to be Maltese there's probably a chance he won't ◊◊◊◊ everything up. Not deliberately anyway.

Sad to say, this is exactly what people like Steve Bannon and crew have advocated for. Make the experience of illegal immigration so horrendous, people will think twice before trying it. Unless, I guess, they're people seeking employment on farms, in meat packing plants or the hospitality industry. Then they get the red carpet treatment.

If you add this to your CV, the job is in the bag.

To be fair to the Trump Administration, it was the Republican Party at large that smashed it up, not just the Trump Administration. For example, when nearly all the Republican Senators declared that they would destroy the deal in an open letter in 2015, that does spread the blame around more accurately than just focusing on Trump. It's strangely like the Republican Party *wants* more nuclear proliferation, so they can manipulate and scare those who have a poor grasp of cause and effect into supporting them.
