Putin Criticizes Donald Trump for Leaving Iran Nuclear Deal

Source: Newsweek

Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Iran Nuclear deal in a speech Sunday.

Putin said the United State’s withdrawal could “destabilize the region” in the middle east according to the Associated Press and added Russia will continue to honor the deal.

Trump announced the U.S. would leave what he called the "horrible" Iran nuclear accord in May. The agreement, put into place in 2015 under President Barack Obama, lifted international economic sanctions against Iran in exchange for the country to limit its nuclear program. Trump called the deal "defective at its core."

Despite this, Putin also said Sunday he’s ready to meet with Trump, “as soon as the U.S. side is ready.”

every nation on earth sides with the deal, except Grump, Bibi, some nation in Central America and a handful of money grubbing sandbars in the Pacific.

he said, 'When you take out a [given] leader what is likely to happen' , [mentioning bad outcomes]

Of course, he may be just jerking trumps chain.

It is all kabuki. Putin made billions after Trump pulled out of the deal with Iran. Putin has Trump
dancing on a string and his statement is a classic misdirection play. Trump would not have pulled out
of the Iran deal if Putin had told him not to.

Or is this the excuse for a big meeting with Trump? Putin is so obsessed with the U.S.. Trump wants Russia back to make the G8; Putin wants a meeting.


Am I paranoid, or is there a pattern here?

If you are paranoid, you have company.

Putin has been playing Trump. I can't wait until Putin drops the video of Trump doing some weird sh*t in his hotel room...well maybe not...I shutter at a seeing him naked.
