Walker outs himself as unfit for presidential role. While lacking the courage to commit to running for president, this hyper destructive Walker trumpets his commitment to take the Iran nuclear deal to a no-deal. Hey, Walker yes, you are, in your Christian evangelistic 'unpatriotic' electioneering zeal, catering to the most base fears and instincts of your supporters. And, you are trumpeting your cynical distrust of all the Iranian nuclear deal negotiators. I knew you distrusted your United States. I didn't know you Scott Walker also distrusted the negotiators of China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and Germany so much, as well. You are clearly unfit for the role of President.
Stephanie, Greg Sargent's article is a beauty .. lol .. thanks heaps for it .. this bit, on some possible consequences of Walker's excruciatingly irresponsible commitment, is outed here in appreciation of it all ..
--- In this scenario, of course, the European countries would still see continuing the deal as the best way to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran. But that wouldn’t matter — Walker would pull the U.S. out of the deal, anyway. I asked Peter Juul, a Mideast analyst for the Center for American Progress, to explain what the consequences of that might be. He told me:
" “The big questions would be, How would Europeans and Iranians react? It’s hard to believe that the Iranians would stick to their end of the deal. That would leave Iran open to take their nuclear program as far as they want.
“The Europeans would probably try to keep their portion of the deal in place and try to salvage it. This would place the burden of having blown up the deal on us. This would be particularly ironic, considering that a major Republican and conservative talking point is that the Obama administration is breaking faith with our allies. We would be alienating and breaking faith with our European allies right out of the gate. You’d be irreparably damaging our transatlantic relationships for however long Scott Walker were in office.
“Putin is not going to leave power anytime soon, unless he keels over. For all the talk about the Russian threat, it would be odd to throw our European allies under the bus on Iran at the same time they are facing down a Russia that is not particularly friendly.
“There would be a lot of ripple effects around wherever the U.S. and Europe have security cooperation. This is a reckless, irresponsible, shoot first, don’t-ask-questions-ever approach. It’s just not a viable strategy if your goal is to keep Iran from getting a nuclear bomb.”"
This all gets at the complexity of the politics of Iran nukes. The pledge to undo any Obama nuclear deal with Iran is already emerging as a key litmus test for the 2016 GOP contenders. But they are essentially framing the question as a narrow one: Will I stick it to Obama and undo his capitulation to Iran on Day One? You’re damn right I will! But in the real world, a deal would involve not just Obama, but our major European allies, and undoing it could unleash all sorts of international complications. .. your link .. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/04/02/scott-walker-ill-blow-up-any-iran-deal-no-matter-what-our-european-allies-think/
Walker and his cohorts remind me of Richard Perle and his clique.
