Correcting your posts is like a second job, shew. I'm not sure where you went to school but 56% > 50% therefore my article says that a majority of Americans supported the Iran deal, got it? The Iran nuclear deal has kept Iran from building a nuclear bomb which demonstrates the success of the existing deal so I have no idea where you get the notion that it didn't work. moving on.

As for U.S. natural gas exports, you're just making stuff up again. Guess why we didn't export any LNG until late in BO's tenure (Feb. 2016 which was before Trump was elected). They had to build the export terminal(s) first (Cheneire), shew. FYI, WV has a legislature while the U.S. has Congress. BO slow played nothing, he advanced the industry and the first LNG shipment(s) were made during his tenure.

I stated that I found multiple polls that showed the opposite. So cherry picking a poll to prove a point is disingenuous. Saying that Iran never built a nuclear weapon is proof that the deal works even thought they did not have the technology or resources available prior to the agreement is interesting.

I will concede that the 1st shipment of LNG was shipped prior to Obama leaving office, but reality is he slowed it down as much as he could. He could not keep the energy lobbyist at bay in this instance. He did not support it and used tactics to slow it down. He was forced into it as opposed to leading the way. For him to try and take credit for anything pro fossil fuel related would really piss a lot of his supporters off.

If you believe that then good for you.

Obviously the deal that Trump pulled us out of is better than letting Iran do anything they want (Trump's plan). Fortunately for the time being the Iran nuclear deal is still in place thanks to the other countries that signed onto it though Iran is stating that they will no longer adhere to important aspects of the deal going forward.
I was told on this board the rest of the world would stay in it and still force Iran to comply, we’d just be missing out on the financial aspects. Guess you guys were wrong, as usual, on ME politics.
