President Obama On Iran Deal Opponents: “What's Your Alternative?”
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Speaking with NPR's Steve Inskeep, President Obama argued that the Iran nuclear deal "cuts off all pathways for Iran getting a nuclear weapon" and offers "an entire infrastructure that's built to keep track of what Iran's doing." About the likelihood that a Republican-controlled Congress will reject the deal, the president said that such a move reflects the opposition of "a near unanimous portion of Republican representatives" to "anything I do.” But he offered that once the agreement is implemented, that opposition will “probably be forgotten.”

All we are saying is give diplomacy a chance.
deedah ruhamah, And do you personally speak for this "God"? Is this "God" a Muslim or a Christian, an American or an Iranian, Democrat or Republican? I grew up in the tails-end of the Cold War, and I can remember as a kid thinking and believing that Russians wanted to kill me because they hated me. Now I'm older and I'm able to distinguish between people who are Russian and the government of Russia (former Soviet Union). I'm also making a distinction between the government of Iran and the citizens of Iran. Iran and America doesn't have to hate one another and be at war.
deedah ruhamah Oh god, please.
deedah ruhamah Once again: God is said to be on the side of war, rather than on the side of peace. Funny how often this happens...
deedah ruhamah And this is the problem in this world. Religious nutjobs like this and their counterparts in places like Iran etc. are hell bent on proving the imaginary man in the sky they've been indoctrinated into believing is the "one true God". These are the true enemies of peace. Can't think of any major conflicts in the world that aren't rooted in religion. Maybe North Korea but even their they believe their leader is god.
Shane Woodbury We have given it a chance, that's why the sanctions were put in place. They still hold Americans hostage but our ignorant president sent their prisoners home, those prisoners were held on both arms smuggling and drug smuggling.
History will judge this man very well. No middle east conquests like the previous administration or meddling in central America like the 80s, no south East Asian disastrous campaigns like the 60s and 70s, no scandal ridden administration either, a decent extremely capable man. We can all be very proud of him.
Sense no scandals? What rock did you crawl out of?
+Daniel Miller out of, or out from underneath of! I sit atop the rock, in a sunlit place where reasoned intelligent arguments are welcome. Enlighten us young man, what scandals do you refer to, and what are the facts to back your case up? Try to refrain from falling foul of tired political soundbites from political organisations posing as news media.
Sense I love how you idiots act like Libya and Syria never happened. Syria is in chaos because Obama armed Syrian rebels. Libya is in chaos because Obama conducted a no fly zone in there which ended up being regime change. No meddling? Ya, ignore the blood, im sure that will work in the long term.
Dumbo lost Anbar province, which our soldiers died for. It's like losing Normandy or watching the last chopper out of south Nam. He helped knock off Kadafy, did nothing to help Mubarak, lauded the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, did nothing for the Green Revolution in Iran, now he wants Assad gone, to be replaced by WHOM? So now we have a weak, emerging ISIS caliphate from Tunisia to Syria, ultimately to be dominated by a nuclear Iran, which is turning our gulf allies' HAIR WHITE, and now THEY want nukes, too. THANK YOO, PRESIDENT DUMDFUCK.
And scandals? Good God, it would take 10 mins of precious time to outline Dumbo's scandals, lies, and CRIMES. How about RUNNING GUNS to the most VICIOUS PEOPLE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE, with the PREMEDITATED purpose of being an ACCESSORY TO FIRST DEGREE MURDER, so as to blame the NRA and it's members for increased gun crime, AS PER U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT MEMOS?! How about THAT ONE scandal, MORON?
I am so worried for the US after Obama.
Habib Monfared Indeed
Habib Monfared Especially since he gave a nation that openly declares "death to America" the capacity to legally acquire nuclear weapons.
Leroy Hobbes wow ur stupidity amazes me
Habib Monfared Wow, your stubborn inability to recognize the fact that there are two sides to every argument amazes me.
If i were an innocent iranian getting drone strikes id be scared too
I'm a secular Iranian and I thank Obama for this deal ! the hardliners in Iran are very isolated these days
graviton9191 Very nice to hear from you. Hopefully our two countries will be at peace soon. I know its not likely but there is nothing wrong with hope.
The hardliners have been firmly in control since 1979 and now they are ecstatic that Dumbo is stupidly lifting the sanctions in exchange for magic beans! You Obama's Kids are so fucking dumb that it defies belief.
graviton9191 Here in the states, we have issues with hardliners too: the Republicans and other war hawks.
+Ekaterinya Vladinakova Please keep making the stupid argument that Republicans are equivalent to Iranian hardliners. How foolish.
David Lanham the main difference is their religious affiliation.
Substance (hmm) aside, this is uhhhh, pretty well shot. Especially for a radio interview. On UA-cam. I'm impressed.
It's time to change our foreign policy in the Middle East. I'm so glad Obama is my president; he's working to unite the world.
deedah ruhamah He's done a lot in the past few months. He's achieved a lot overall too.
***** yeah, as long as their are people who think like you.
James Benson you ment to desroy the world

"It's time to chance our foreign policy in the middle east." Spoken like a child. Change it to what? Do you know? Do you know ANYTHING about the middle east? Their relationship to Russia, Europe, the caspian oil producers. Do you know ANYTHING about pipelines, arms, weapons, sunni states? Or do you just wear the feed bag the globalist media feeds u out of? They TELL you obama's wonderful, they sell you a cartoon image of a "brilliant" man, and u eat it up? Stop being a tool.

Elie Hegbe I really hate to break this too you, sunshine. BUT president Obama doesn't need congress to get the Iran deal through. He can AND will do the deal without them. Besides, when was the last time congress blocked anything Obama really wanted? I'm going to let you in on a little secret............ Congress is irrelevant.
Diplomacy over saber rattling and warmongering, this is why we elected President Obama - twice. This is the reason he was given the Nobel Peace Prize, for the promise of this coming to pass. I'm proud of my President's achievements despite the fierce opposition from hardliners at every turn and from both within and outside our country.
great interview!
Who’s here after hearing about the cover up?
Love having an adult in office.
Rico Alexander An adult with brains
Yeah, I miss Reagan, myself.
David Lanham You mean the guy who sold arms to Iran for them to delay releasing the hostages? You have strange heroes.
+Rico Alexander God, it takes so much time to correct you liberal children: the "arms" were to free hostages in Lebanon, not delay anything in 1979 in Iran, Reagan wasn't even president, yet! Reagan sold them mostly crap, nobody is bragging about it, and it wasn't a foolish plan. And THAT is all you got?!
David Lanham Give me a break. If it had came out that Obama had sold arms to Iran, you would be screaming bloody murder and lynch him!
BS deal desperately searching for a legacy history will tell and judge you
That’s right
I don't understand this deal at all, All this country want is what every other country has, nukes to defend themselves, why isn't the deal for everyone to decommision nukes entirely.
This was relaxing
Giving money to Iran so they can build weapons faster. Relaxing or sleeping?
Professor Foxtrot exactly. Look at all these sheep in the comments. No idea what would happen in 2020
Obama is not on the side of the United States.
jwfan19 Really? How so?
jwfan19 Iran deal, illegal immigration, Syrian red lines, ISIS support, military humiliations, terrorist enablement, IRS scandal, apologies for the US...
This is easy! You're up.
jwfan19 It's great for bho and kerry who are not on the side of the US. No inspections, no restrictions, unspecified side deals, and they get billions of dollars to fund terrorism. You know it's true, but you're already smoked the weed.
jwfan19 Exactly what I would expect from a hopenchange bho brown noser. Now go away.
jwfan19 Hopenchange! Keep your doctor! I know nothing about Fast & Furious! Red line! Benghazi was a video!
Yeah, you're a bho choomer!
This may be one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Obama's critics like to frame him as an uninformed pushover, but in times like these he proves himself to be a tenacious world leader with the guts to take command. His unwavering confidence in our ability to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon has me convinced that this is the right decision. NPR really captures that resolved optimism that made him such an outstanding candidate in '07. Kudos to the crew who produced this.
Christopher Davis he hates americas foriegn policy he showed in his face. He a muslim who loves to help the animals against Isreal God is for Isreal

you got it wrong steve, congress does not represent the people
Oh sweetie...didn't you know? Congress is irrelevant.
TheLastAmericanJEDI Only the Republican side sweetie!!!
thikabouit so when was the last time congress blocked anything Obama really wanted? The fact is, the president can do whatever he wants. Congress has no power to stop him. Executive authority is the ultimate power to bypass Congress. The president can act without congressional approval. This makes all of Congress irrelevant.
With a 7% approval rating, I'd say congress is illegitimate.
+TheLastAmericanJEDI actually if he gets less then 34 votes he can be vetoed but thanks to 34 idiots today he got his deal
we are so lucky to have him as our president any body who say other wise is crazy!!!!

I have to "get a job" to be housed where i am but if I do that Iran secures control over the US. What can be done? Capital is critical to this matter. As is time.
Now I have a nuclear weapon. Ho ho ho.
Iran was months away from break out time?? Holy shit, that could've been WW3
Great show, awesome entertainment, it is so "cool", i am feeling like in a fairy tale. I love america
anyway you can give Obama 4 more years
Make a deal with a country that cannot be trusted? Horrible!
Don't stand in my way I can profit from this deal in the 100's of millions.
good speech obama, i think what people fail to understand God has a time for all things, and his will shall be done, things are not always black and white, but time is soon, that Gods time is to come in, remember it was man that sinned, so we should blame our self. and I do repent daily, God has it all under control, but woe unto those that wont repent, for Gods own received him not, that was and is the problem,. God bless.
Was there even one representative from congress who attended the P5 + 1 talks? I sure didn't see or heard of any. What right do they have in the say of this agreement if none of them attended P5+1 in the first place?
What you all just said is a DICTATORSHIP NOT A DEMOCRACY. CONGRESS IS SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE TO VETO AN AGREEMENT. NOT STAND SILENT. THATS NOT DEMOCRACY UNCONGRESSIONAL.

". . .that gives me the opportunity to constructively shape the debate. . ." . Steve Inskeep knows exactly what this means, and this video is a perfect example of how it works. Here are two people who (I am convinced) do not believe in absolutes, and see their job as "moving the needle" or "shaping the debate". But where, in a world without absolutes, ultimate meaning or eternal purpose, do they want the needle moved towards or the debate "shaped" to accomplish? As postmodern progressives they both expect a larger role in a centralized global government as necessary and inevitable. They both hold utopian ideals about what such a government would mean, and they both certainly know it would mean the end of the US Constitution. They both judge the United States against their utopian progressive ideals and find it wanting-even while they are the 0.00001%-recipients of unmeasurable benefits by being citizens of the USA. I don't doubt they both have the benefit of humanity in mind as their "greater good" which justifies the use of propaganda-the more accurate term for "shaping the debate". For Obama perhaps greater racial equality and women's rights, for Inskeep perhaps LGBTQ rights, for both state-funded and implemented solutions to climate change, poverty, globalization and other progressive ideals that they use to convince themselves they are the smartest and best people doing the most good and therefore should have the power to enforce their elitist worldview on others, especially the bible-believing, gun-toting republican rubes in flyover country. From the time this video was made to today the obvious failure of trying to appease the crazy rulers of Iran with pallets of cash, the fallout from the increased polarization of the political process and the weaponizing of government institutions by the Obama administration have all vindicated conservative approaches (limiting government and allowing a free marketplace to drive innovation and provide solutions to the world's most pressing problems) work demonstrably better than using carefully crafted deception to obtain and keep power that then gets allocated to progressive cronies who then use the power of the state to stifle and punish political opposition. NPR went from the verge of being the most well-connected news outlet on the planet with total access (and usefulness) to Hillary & co., increased funding, stature and prestige among the elite in Washington DC, to "boom!", being dismissed as "fake news" by Trump. NPR has not recovered from the shock of his election, the loss of their status. While claiming over and over and over and over ( a technique for embedding ideas in listeners instead of arguing with evidence and reason) to be objective and honest, NPR spins and creatively modifies the news, carefully selects what it covers, how it covers, how long it is covered, what it ignores, and generally flies in tight formation with the elite postmodern progressive leftists, often leading and crafting the "talking points" to help "shape the narrative" that other news outlets use, uhm, over and over and over and over. They make the most effort to be seen as inclusive on the intersectional scale while remaining extremely exclusive on political views and values. NPR - Masters of Leftist Propaganda who add insult to injury by using taxpayer funding to deconstruct the system from within.

Would you please next time ask this question from what ever president you speak to. How is that Iran is sanction for violation of human rights, mean while a Country such as Saudi arabia with it's ever barbaric human rights (or shall i say not existing human rights) can not only be running around freely but be our "Allies" ?

That bit about how the republicans are going to be against Obama no matter the merits of his work/policies is so fucking true. The resigned tone in his voice is so heartbreaking
Isn't a secret side deal the same as a quid pro quo no matter how you twist the words ?
I think on a global scale we really need to start talking about lowering wars which would then lower radiation leaks and would probably go good with the pope since he's worried with global climate ... Just a thought .
Always gud ur perfect in all aspect bravo
The lesson for any non-American country is that you should invest in building nuclear weapons and leaders like Obama will come to you with a great deal like this nuclear deal with Iran where Iran gets billions of dollars and more importantly gets to have significant power to influence inspections of their nuclear weapons activities in their favor.
Reasons why your thought is misinformed:
1. Iran’s economy was crippled through international sanctions. If another country would follow their lead, the would be economically devastated and isolated as well.
2. Iran isn’t getting billions, they were just having sanctions lifted.
3. I’m confident that you or I know nothing about the inspection process. Therefore, your critique is dumb.
Get off Fox News
Does anyone actually believe that Iran will stick to the deal?!?!?!?!
No
Why he look like that at america policy like he eas disgusted
Oobamba
With Republican majorities in both houses of the Congress, with a Republican majority on the Supreme Court, with more Republican governors than Democratic, with more state legislatures in Republican hands than Democratic hands, the political reality seems to support my view that this President is just not very persuasive on public policy issues. He is thoughtful and articulate, so I would surmise the lack of persuasiveness relates more to substance than form. He starts from premises, and he makes arguments, that just do not persuade a majority of the people he serves. His argument in favor of the Iran agreement seems to be particularly weak.
Houston Parks So what's your argument for an alternative to this deal?
Rico Alexander I would go back to the negotiating table, with my negotiating team including the chairmen and ranking members of the Senate and House Foreign Relations Committees, seeking an agreement negotiated much tougher and much more skeptically, and if achieved, I would submit the agreement to the Senate for treaty ratification. I would keep and make even tougher U. S. sanctions on Iran. In do these things, I would invite but not insist on the participation of our allies or the U. N. If Iran remained recalcitrant, I would quietly prepare, with Israel, air strikes to take out as much of Iran's nuclear capability as feasible, and I would repeatedly strike those facilities as they became observable through U. S. intelligence.
Houston Parks So your answer is war because no way in hell would all those nations return back to the negotiation table or even enter negotiations with just the leaders of a Congress run by a party intent on war. But thanks for your honesty in admitting that war is what you want. Glad you're not in charge and glad we have a president that will give diplomacy a chance before launching another war in the mid east.

Where do you see that? In a deal giving Iran a nuclear weapon to trick Obama agreeing with them so they can finally start a nuclear war?
Mr. President Obama is a-OK, he is smart and posed. Guns and war are a subject which should not be the basis on electing an intelligent leader. Is America a military country now, Social/Science statics says we are behind on our education on wave 5 specifying we should focus on education in Computer Science. With technology we lack focus leaving us behind the world market, competition is falling Americans. Employment opportunities, sufficiently, hospitality, preventive health and education. We are on wave 3 behind on innovation and better restructurings to compete and have a satisfying lifestyle.
keep iran s feet to the fire
Why does Obama remind me so much of Jamie Fox in the movie "Law Abiding Citizen" in the scene where he is explaining to the father why he made the deal with the murderer of his wife and child? Has anyone seen the movie and do you agree with me?
It's amazing to me every time he laughs during one of his interviews, I don't see anything funny about what he is discussing so what's with the smug attitude?
You are so naive speaking of Mullahs’ regime as if there is a democratic government in Iran. FYI, the US State Department has described Iranian regime as an “active state sponsor of terrorism, the protocol on dealing with terrorist is clear, “you don’t negotiate with terrorist”. Negotiation doesn’t prevent war with terrorists it just delays it since it is inherited in the building-block of terrorism characteristic not to comply with the international norm and standard of universal way of living, it would only be a matter of time to show its brutal nature. Wake up President.
Obama died on the cross for all of us!
The whole thing seems like a moot issue for me. Why would anyone care if Iran has a nuclear weapon anyway? The whole thing reeks of state sponsored racism. Why? Pakistan has one Russia has one China has one and America, arguably the most dangerous and aggressive country, has actually used on another country. I doubt Iranians would even stop trying to make one with ANY deal because they've invested tons of time in trying to make one. The whole "trying to make a deal with them to make them stop making a bomb" idea makes no sense logically if you really think about it. Just like America is doing it solely for the reason that Obama seems like he's keeping busy and so people will have something to talk about.
Unless you are Greek, you should be happy we resolved this diplomatically with the Persians. Good president.
The Greeks and Iranians haven't given a shit about each other's existance for over a thousand years now. Maybe the US government should learn from Greece and leave Iran alone, the future American generations will thank them for that.
Thanks God this guy is out of office! JCPOA did NOT benefit Iranians & today we see that Iranians are poorer than ever before & the regime is brutal than ever before. This regime MUST GO! No to fascism !
Trump leaving the JCPOA is largely viewed as one of the worst if not THE WORST foreign policy diplomatic blunder in world history. Trump’s maximum pressure campaign has been an total and utter FAILURE of epic proportions. The Iranian people HAVE an elected representative government.

Obama is the most corrupt president ever. True.
@@Jhon-ri7qh Actually, Barack Obama had the slowest rate of new spending of any president since President Dwight D Eisenhower. That is a fact! The reason the debt increased so much under Obama is because he inherited a then record $1.2 trillion federal budget deficit from George W Bush along with the Great Recession which was the worst recession since the Great Depression along with 2 unfunded wars, one of which was poorly mismanaged for almost a decade and the other should have never been waged in the first place. If you look at Trump’s spending, it is the worst record of all time. When Trump took office the debt was $19.9 trillion. Just four years later, it was $27.7 trillion!!!!! That is outrageous!!!
Barack Obama’s net worth is about $40 million. Former presidents can make crazy doe off of booking speaking engagements and signing book deals…jus sayin. Not to mention Obama has a Entertainment deal with Netflix. 😁

For sure. Future will proof this
Allahu akabar
We have 5000 nuclear weapons and we had far more until we scaled down our arsenal due to treaties. We used the bomb twice and none since 1945 - that was 73 years ago. Most violent country post WWII - how about China and their involvement in the Korean War? Or their involvement in the Viet Nam War? Or the Soviet Union and our friend Joey Stalin? They had something to do with the people killed in Korea and Viet Nam. What about Cambodia? They killed 6 million of their own citizens.
Make a treaty with a country like Iran with leaders you cannot trust? How niave. An action by someone inexperienced with lack of wisdom and poor judgement and in the 7th year of his 8 year term. And he would not give Israel the time of day.
Yes, he is cool (according to the young people), loves rubbing elbows with the celebrities and famous athletes and now that we have the first "black" president behind us though his mother was "white as milk" and his grandmother was a "typical white person", can everyone do me a favor? Elect a leader? We have not had a leader of any substance for years. Elect someone with substance and not someone with an ego that is par with a megalomaniac. Elect someone who loves this country and everyone who is entitled to be here that works hard.
