And by "manipulating" they mean telling Trump that Obama created it. Not exactly a difficult task...

All the GWB and Trump terms can be viewed together as a discontinuous but connected neocon project.

Every news article on the attack on Iran. Should remind the American people we had a signed deal on the table.

Ukraine is the only audio recording we know of. He didn’t only shake down Zelensky.

it’s the same playbook they use for any helpful government program—say it’s useless and doesn’t work, then get into office and make sure it doesn’t work the way it should/could

I’m hearing a lot of reference to “neocons” again all of a sudden. But who is that here? How do some hidden becomes differ from the constant statements of fascination with throwing bombs, and targeting Iran that Trump has always stated? The weird evangelical fascination with Israel’s wars?

Obama took pains to explain, several times, that: 1) he thoroughly consulted with military and nuclear experts 2) The conclusion was that there were no good options to deal with Iran and its nuclear program. 3) Of all the bad options, the nuclear deal was the least bad. Now we have chosen the worst.

Security by intervention isn't sustainable via bombardment alone, and insufficient against a national bomb program. Just awful outcomes ahead, forced once again by the natsec hawks who never face down the consequences of supremist thinking
