Please consider taking this viral: "Trump May Already Be Violating the Iran Deal," by Peter Beinart (Wikipedia link), The Atlantic, April 29, 2018
The deal’s opponents keep saying Tehran has failed to live up to its commitments to the U.S. But what if it’s the other way around? Iran has not been breaking the deal, it seems that Trump has been violating the deal by making it difficult for Iran to “reintegrate into the global economy.” Please see the clauses that were supposed to benefit Iran outlined in the third paragraph of the article.
It seems highly likely that T will just keep on repeating his lies, as usual.
Highlighting the last paragraph:
".....The truth is that, at least in the post–Cold War era, the United States hasn’t always been very good about keeping the promises it makes in nuclear deals. It’s important Americans know that. It might be nice to think that the U.S., as a democracy, is more trustworthy than its authoritarian adversaries. But America’s government won’t hold itself to a higher standard unless its people do."Related: sent 12/26/2017 NYTimes: Drumpf's royal Saudi friends are causing more trouble in the middle east

P.S. Please consider taking this message viral. It is not going to help with the obedient people who hang on and believe T's every word, but it might help with people who have not been paying that much attention to what goes on. This is important. Saudi Arabia and Israel are trying to get us into a war, and T might be following along. Let those who can resist believing him resist believing him. Thank you! LS
