[QUOTE="The Cadet, post: 70130362, member: 261708"] What Oafman said. The tradeoff for removing the sanctions (which the whole rest of the world was going along with, mind you, so even if we kept our sanctions up, it would not have accomplished that much) was an immediate reduction and increase in oversight over Iran's nuclear plan. It's not entirely surprising that Trump would leave this out of his speech, given that it kind of undermines the premise of "Obama is helping Iran for no good reason", but for anyone curious on how to spot complete crap: ask one question. "Does this sound like the kind of thing that's just too stupid to be true?" Does Obama [I]sound[/I] like the kind of guy who'd just [I]give[/I] Iran a ton of money for no reason? Or would that be [I]incredibly[/I] stupid? Yeah, sure, if you believe he's a secret Muslim it might make sense, but that's [I]also[/I] incredibly stupid. There's usually a more reasonable explanation. People usually don't do things for no good reason. [/QUOTE]
