Once upon a time in 2015,than Sen Rubio, predicts present crisis, News

Featured Replies

Once upon a time in 2015, Sen.Marco Rubio stood on the Senate floor and warned exactly where Obama’s Iran deal would lead. He asked for his words to be recorded for history. Today, looking at the "Nazi regime" in Iran that Sen. Graham talks about… almost everything he said came true.

1.Sanctions relief, cash funded terrorism and proxies, not the Iranian people.

2.Massive buildup of ballistic missiles and anti access weapons.

3.The nuclear deal failed to stop the path to a nuclear weapon.

4.The regime became harder to confront ,more “immune” like North Korea.

5.The radical clerical regime prioritized ideology and aggression over its people.

The story is about a Sen. Rubio speech to the Senate

Likely AI - how could Little Marco Rubio see over the lectern to give an actual speech?

Now ask yourself why?

Rubio must have known some woefully insecure moron, a guy who has Obama living rent free in his otherwise empty brain, would come along and quash the extremely successful JCPOA, an agreement which took Iran 100% out of the nuke game.

Then Iran, feeling betrayed, would restart their U235 enrichment program.

That is exactly what happened.

If Trump had done what was intended by the JCPOA, he could have used it as a stepping stone for further negotiations on things like support for Shi'a terror (Trump is 100% okay with ongoing Saudi support for Sunni terror, as Saudi allows him to do deals in Saudi).

So here we are today. Thousands of dead people, wanton destruction, oil prices up 50-60% from two months ago, US weapons piles way down, inflation on the rise, US position in the world among former allies greatly diminished...all because of Trump's woeful insecurity. Dead kids in schools, dead kids in Lebanon, the Gulf residents feeling angst...and the absolute best Trump might get out of this is a return to the status quo ante of the JCPOA....albeit with his name on it, not Obama's.

All the deaths, all the destruction, all the wasted money, all the inflation, all the angst, all the loss of international friendships...solely a result of a thin skinned crybaby demented child.

Oh...but Iran earned more money in the last two months from selling oil at much higher prices than their own money Obama returned to them as part of the JCPOA.

Please don't pretend Trump cared about the protest deaths of innocent Iranians, as Trump threatened genocide in one of his Tweets, which would include tens of millions of innocent Iranians.

Operation Epstein Fury of Epic Fail---whatever it's called---is the worst US mistake since Bush invaded Iraq, and may well end up worse.

Yet even now, some on the left still defend the old Obama deal, blame Trump for walking away, or push for more diplomacy with the very regime Graham calls religious Nazis.

They downplay the proxy wars, the missile barrages, the enrichment to near weapons grade levels, and the domestic executions.

Why the protection? Me thinks its the far lefts way of supporting the oppressed ,the anarchist formular toward a united international far left , a dilutional perspective that would damage the USA .

Rubio put his warning on the record. History already proved him right.

Once upon a time, the international left cheered when Obama gave major concessions to Iran in the 2015 JCPOA sanctions relief, kept enrichment infrastructure, sunset clauses, and no real restrictions on missiles or proxies.

Rubio warned on the Senate floor it would fund terrorism, build up Iran’s missile arsenal, and leave the regime on a path to nuclear weapons while becoming harder to confront. He asked for his words to be recorded for history.

Fast forward: Iran got the cash, strengthen the IRGC and its Axis of Resistance (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis), expanded ballistic missiles, enriched uranium to near weapons grade, and launched proxy wars and direct attacks.

Sen. Lindsey Graham now openly calls them the "religious Nazis" , fanatics seeking a master religion and regional dominance, just like Hitler sought a master race.

The same farleft crowd that pushed the deal (and still defends it) spent years downplaying the regime’s ideology and aggression.

Meanwhile, Obama era policies from the Iran deal to open border signals, heavy regulation, identity politics, and perceived weakness abroad created a massive backlash at home.That backlash helped turn Donald Trump into a populist contender in 2016.

Millions of voters (including some former Obama voters) rejected the establishment direction and wanted America First strength again.

Today in 2026, with the U.S. and Israel forced into major operations against Iran, the pattern is clear: giving in to the regime’s demands didn’t moderate it , it emboldened the very crisis we’re dealing with now.

History didn’t side with the deal’s defenders. It sided with Rubio’s warning and Graham’s description.
