Biden’s Gas Crisis

[CountValentine]

Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism, why would we want to help them finance it?

Some believe nukes are a bigger threat.

To bring peace in our time

Seems like a side consequence has been the Russians having a change of heart on the Iran deal. They don't want Iranian oil back on free global markets while the the Russians are subject to sanctions.

[yuneeq]

I think banning Russian oil is counterproductive. They'll make more money selling less oil thanks to higher prices.

Fewer customers for Russian oil = less demand and lower prices, lower income for Russia. That's also what happened with Iranian oil IINM.

Exactly. So why would you lift sanctions for being huge human rights abusers and sponsors/actors of terror, and also allow them to have nuclear weapons? That's exactly what the deal is designed to do. It doesn't even pretend otherwise on paper.

You seemed confused. The nuclear deal prevents them for getting nukes under the deal. I know you are against the deal but no need for pretzels.

The US doesn't buy enough Russian oil to make a big difference. I would think the amount this increases the price, more than makes up for their possibly slight drop in volume. If everyone banned Russian oil you would be correct, but much of Europe has no alternative.

The only reason people are against is because they believe it makes it easier not harder for them to get nukes. Blather about pretzels while ignoring their arguments is more of an indication of ignorance than anything else.

Ignorance and self interest are why they are against the deal. Please explain what part of the deal makes it easier to get nukes.

When they present no argument and only emotions then yes we have pretzels.

[CountValentine]

We need to increase production sort-term. The long-term solution is not to be dependent on oil. Unfortunately, renewable energy is taboo to one side.

The fact remains they increased uranium enrichment once the agreement was voided. That brings them closer to a nuke.

What in the agreement makes it easier to get a nuke as some have claimed?

I do this for my day job and despite how the Dems present it you couldn't be further from the truth. You just presented the R position here. The Ds are pushing renewable with complete disregard to whether it is ready yet in every jurisdiction where they are able.

Wow. Why do you prefer to play blind? This is not a game. This is about mass murderers getting weapons of mass destruction.

More money, no real restrictions, legitimaticy, removed sanctions=more terror and paving a path to nuclear weapons.

Iran has made clear their intent. They are being ignored.

Even this tabloid got it right. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10578541/RUSSIA-manipulating-Biden-accepting-weak-new-Iran-nuclear-deal-VICTORIA-COATES.html

Truly sickening.

What about under the agreement? Either way how do we know what they did?

I don't know enough about the north gritty of it so my actual opinions here will be limited.

[CountValentine]

Your emotions are clouding your judgement. Every report I seen says the breakout time for Iran to get a nuke is less since the last admin nuked the deal.

Those supporting it feel that there are real restrictions so you will need to explain why they are inadequate.

I am not pushing any position but my own. We need to invest heavily in renewable energy.

[avromie7]

Maybe, but sanctioning their ambitions because it's on a slightly longer timescale means we are giving up our right to use other methods to stop it.

[avromie7]

We already do. Governments and utilities already pay for most of the cost of renewable energy. The reason it's not happening quicker is because it's impossible.

Your position is very in line with the Rs and is the only one that makes sense.
