It's local to the US and it's prejudice and propaganda, so...?
- shadowgovt 7y agoI think I'd need a citation on why "prejudice and propaganda" applies here. The US doesn't turn to sanctions flippantly (it's not in the US's economic interests, in general, to take a trading partner off the table).
- slavik81 7y agoI probably wouldn't use language quite that strong, but the view from outside the US is definitely quite different. The US withdrawl from the Iran nuclear agreement was more a result of changes in the US than of changes in Iran. Barack Obama brokered the deal and he stated his clear opposition to Donald Trump's decision to end it. (https://facebook.com/barackobama/posts/10155854913976749 https://facebook.com/barackobama/posts/10155854913976749) The European Union was also a party to the Iran nuclear deal, and they thought so poorly of the resumption of US sanctions on Iran that they passed a law making it illegal for European companies to comply.
