Investors.com – U.S. Gets Rolled
Obama and his cohorts are glowing about the wonderful deal made with Iran that will “stop” Iran from producing nuclear weapons. It is a Sucker’s Deal!
Diplomacy: Internationalists are cheering a new nuclear deal reached with Iran. But with Tehran getting enriched uranium in exchange for nothing, all it means is that it gets a bomb. This is not smart diplomacy.
The meeting was held in Vienna between Iran, Russia the United States and France and this past Wednesday agreement was reached to hand Iran all it needs to construct its nuclear weapons.
The draft, which awaits Tehran’s approval, is for Russia to purify 75% of Iran’s 1.4-ton stockpile of low-enriched uranium to a higher level, with France turning the new material into plates for use in an old U.S.-constructed medical research reactor.
Presumably, the plan would relieve Iran of enough potential bomb-making supplies to ensure it can’t make a nuclear weapon.
But the “deal” looks more like a sucker’s bargain: Iran gets high-grade enriched uranium with no obligation to halt its nuclear program, as well as technology and legitimacy.
Iran gets it all and gives nothing. Iran will give Russia low grade uranium and get high grade enriched uranium back. They will continue to enrich their stock piles of uranium. Uranium that they enriched against all United Nations sanctions and threats and international laws. Now all that is wiped out and this deal makes what Iran did “legal”. Other countries are now free to follow suit.
Iran hasn’t renounced enrichment. So while the West lulls itself into a false sense of security that Iran’s illegally enriched uranium is now in safer hands, Iran can go right on enriching more . And with recent news of more Iranian enrichment plants surfacing, the pile could grow.
The deal also gives Iran a technological edge it hadn’t previously had: The fact that Iran couldn’t purify uranium to the 5% level a medical reactor needs was a sign its nuclear program wasn’t as strong as Tehran claimed. Weapons require 20% purification, and Iran couldn’t reach 5%. But it’s much easier to reach 20% from 5% than to reach it from Iran’s current level. Once Russia extends its aid, Iran could be in better shape than ever to enrich uranium.
I would like to ask President Obama, “Can you say S-U-C-K-E-R?”
