This Op Ed will explain why Obama is allowing Iran’s Shiite regime to develop nuclear weapons, and what has prompted Obama to undercut and destabilize the security interests of the United States’ traditional Sunni allies in the Middle East, that 12 US Presidents, from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to President George W Bush supported for the last 65 years.  Obama has been extending negotiation deadlines, after deadlines, after deadlines, after deadline, so nuclear weapons talks, that have been underway for more than 2 years, won’t be terminated (every time Iran misses a deadline, Obama just advances the deadline by another 3 months).  By ensuring Iran that there will be no inspections of Iran’s military’s weapons development, Obama has all but ensured that Iran will develop nuclear warheads, if they haven’t already accomplished that feat with the help of North Korea. 

In order to truly understand Obama’s approach to Iran’s nuclear weapons development program, you shouldn’t give credibility to what Obama says in these negotiations, you must understand how the negotiations came about, and you should ignore Obama’s publically stated goals because they keep changing to keep Iran engaged.  These negotiations came about in December 2011, when then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton authorized her close aide, Jack Sullivan, to begin quiet back channel negotiations between the US and Iran in Oman and she continued setting up the nuclear weapons negotiation until she left in January 2013.  When Clinton was developing the basis and goals for nuclear weapons negotiation with Obama, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said if Iran is permitted to obtain nuclear weapons, it will have a very negative effect on the Middle East and the world.

The American voters have learned that they can no longer trust what Obama says, they are recalling all the untruthful promises and lies that have been emanating from the Obama administration for the last 6 years.  Those untruthful promises and lies have been promoted by the left of center liberal media establishment, while they tried to cover up and disguise Obama’s true intent on many sensitive issues, subsequently many of those repeated lies were proven false.  Americans must look at what Obama has “actually done”, not what he says while he has been trying to “CHANGE” the Republic from a Free Enterprise System to a Marxist/Socialist System.  Learned historians have repeatedly informed the world in their publications, that for over 120 years, Marxism/Socialism has never worked anywhere it has ever been tried.  

Some of the “CHANGES” that Obama has put in place over the last 6 years have been: the steady hollowing out of the US Armed Forces, installing the politically correct “Social Experiment On Diversity” that has degraded the “Combat Effectiveness” of the US military, continuing the rampant out of control spending driving the national debt beyond $22 trillion before it can be reversed, the removal of Cuba from the list world terrorist threats while they are still continuing to destabilize the world with their terrorist activities by supplying arms to North Korea, FARC terrorists, Bath Separatists, & drug cartels, his steady dismantling of the US Immigration System which is allowing Radical Islamic Terrorists to enter the US under the radar scope, unilaterally disarming the United States’ nuclear weapons arsenal that had contributed to the prevention a nuclear conflicts for 75 years, and so much more that can’t possibly be included in this Op Ed.

With regard to Iran:

• The Obama Administration has essentially ceded Yemen to the Houthi Radical Islamic Terrorists, Iran’s Shiite proxy allies, nearly risking another destructive Benghazi in its haste to evacuate American personnel from the US Embassy, while forcing US Marines, for the first time in its 239 year honorable history, to render their personal weapons incapable of firing, before they were permitted to board aircraft to leave Yemen.

• The Obama administration is employing the US Air Force to provide air support for Shiite Militia and the Iranian Quid’s Force, in order to bail out Iran from a humiliating defeat in Tikrit by ISIL, even though the Iranian-backed Shiite Militia are perpetrating the same type of ethnic cleansing  of Assyrian Christians that ISIL has been doing its genocide.

• The Obama administration is turning a blind eye to Iran’s massive buildup of troops near Israel’s Golan Heights border, and Iran’s arming Hezbollah with guided warheads.

• For the first time in 36 years, the Obama administration expunged any mention of Iran (the world’s primary state sponsor of terrorism) and Hezbollah (Iran’s assassination agent) from being designated as sponsors of worldwide terrorism, from the US State Department’s annual assessment of world-wide terrorist threats.  Then in order to get Iran to come to the nuclear weapons negotiations table, Obama prematurely lifted economic sanctions imposed on Iran because of its suppression of student demonstration November 2011 and because of its cheating on nuclear weapons development.  The funds created by the release of sanctions on Iran is funding Iran’s worldwide terrorist activities, and is funding the development of nuclear warheads.

In addition Obama, bribed Iran by giving them $11.9 billion in cash payments thru the end of all nuclear weapons negotiations.  The Obama administration has been releasing progress payments of $490 million thru the period of the negotiations, those payments over the last 3 years have been funding Iran’s & Hezbollah’s terrorism, military aggression in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen, and their nuclear warhead development; it could never have happened without the financial support from Obama to make it happen---yet instead of using the power of the purse to cut off the funding of Iran’s aggression, terrorism, and nuclear weapons development, the inept Republican leadership of the House funded Iran.

• The Obama administration has gone out of its way, in order not to offend Iran, and is pandering to all of Iran’s sensibilities, despite the chants of “Death to America.” by the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in the midst of the nuclear weapons negotiations.  Only 2 hours after current negotiations in Lausanne recessed, the White House published terms of the agreement with Iran.  Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared that nothing was agreed to in Lausanne and accused the White House of “lying, being deceptive, and having devilish intentions”, and further stated the White House claims were ”incorrect and contrary to the substance of the negotiations.”   Iran’s disagreement with the US is on the timing of the lifting of sanctions, and Iran has firmly stated that it will not allow the UN’s inspection of its military weapons development (that is required to prevent Iran from cheating); the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) officials have repeatedly stated that Iran has been involved in cheating for the last 10 years

• At the same time Obama is cozying up to Iran, he has initiated a cold war with Israel, by leaking details of Israel’s nuclear program, and by threatening to leave Israel hanging in future UN votes; at the same time, in the midst of nuclear weapons negotiations, Obama has ignored Iran’s declaration that the destruction of Israel is ”non-negotiable.”  Chief Iranian negotiator Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters the agreement would allow Iran to keep operating its nuclear program with no inspection.  Zarif stated, .“We will continue enriching; we will continue research and development, and will not close any facilities.”  We have learned that Iran is being allowed to retain their heavily fortified Fordow underground enrichment facility, will be permitted to continue the development of their ICBMs (which will eventually be aimed at Israel, the US’ traditional Sunni allies in the Middle East, and the US), and is being allowed to continue its aggression and terrorism in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, and Bahrain, to take control of those countries (that would never have been possible without Obama’s tacit support, his lifting of sanctions to fund their aggression, and his payments of $11.9 billion in bribes to get Iran to negotiate).

• Obama openly opposed the new Egyptian government that came to power to stop the genocide of Christians in Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood Government and cut off all military aide to Egypt.  The new Egyptian pro-US government is led by a pro-American leader, President Abdul Fattah el-Sisi, who is fighting ISIL, Al Q’ieda, and other terrorist groups.  Besides attacking Radical Islamic Terrorist, Egypt is supporting of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and other friendly US Sunni allies in the Middle East. 

Taken as a whole, the above pro-Iranian actions by Obama goes well beyond credulous appeasement.  Obama has been outraging NATO allied governments and friendly Sunni Arab countries because of his backward treatment of Iran and Israel.  There is clearly a more sinister motivation in Obama’s actions.  Just as the Clinton Administration failed to put an inspection regime in place to prevent North Korea’s Kim Jong-Il alleged peaceful development of nuclear power, from developing nuclear warheads, Obama is also failing to put an inspection regime in place to prevent Iran’s alleged peaceful development of nuclear power from stealthily developing nuclear warheads.  America has seen this Clinton movie before, but Obama thinks the American people are stupid.

After the 2008 inauguration, Obama said “as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to act,”  and he spoke about a “world without nuclear weapons.” What Obama meant to say was a world without American nuclear weapons.  Thus after his inauguration, Obama began the unilaterally disarmament of the US Military’s nuclear weapons arsenal, while at the same time he decreased the US military budget by $50 billion.   During the last 6 years, Obama has often stated how much more peaceful the world would be with less nuclear weapons, while he has been unilaterally destroying a large portions of the US’s nuclear weapons arsenal.  Obama has never entered into international negotiations for the mutual reduction of nuclear weapons arsenals with Russia and China to match the United States’ unilateral nuclear weapons disarmament. 

The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientist,  Ploughshares Campaign Against WMD, and other anti-nuclear activists have never been opposed to Obama’s nuclear sellout to Iran, and Iran’s development of nuclear warheads—they are cheering Obama facilitating of Iran to become a nuclear weapons power.  The anti-nuclear activists, leftists students & professors, progressives, Marxist, and Communists have been supporting Obama’s plan to provide Iran with nuclear weapons.  They had previously demonstrated in the streets against America’s nuclear weapons, and demanding the US unilateral disarm their nuclear weapons; they weren’t ever against nuclear weapons---they were only against the US’ nuclear weapons and its Super Power status in the world.  Those radical leftists, Marxists,  and communists are right in step with Obama, and his stubborn headlong decision to make it possible for Iran to develop nuclear warheads

What Obama is really doing, as he is unilaterally reducing the United States nuclear weapons arsenal, and hollowing out the US Armed Forces, is signaling to the world’s leftist and communists that he agrees that the United States’ nuclear weapons are dangerous, and that Russia, China, and Iran’s nuclear weapons are not dangerous nuclear weapons, because those nuclear weapons will keep the United States in check, and Iran’s nuclear weapons will keep Israel nuclear weapons in check in the Middle East.  

Obama has indicated over the last 6 years that the United States should not be the only Super Power in the world, and anything that fundamentally contributes toward that end, fits in with Obama’s goal of insuring that the US should not be the only Super Power in the world, and supports his plan reduce the US’ capacity to influence world events.   

Obama’s hollowing out of the US Armed Forces is reducing the US Army’s manning level below the Army’s strength prior to WWII, and is reducing the size of US Navy to the size of the Navy prior to WWI and those actions over the last 6 years have fundamentally contributed to the weakening the US, is ensuring that the US will not be the only Super Power in the world, and Obama’s foreign policy of disengaging & leading from behind has reduced the US’ capacity to influence world events.  

By disengaging, Obama signaled Iran that the US will not interfere with its aggression as they took control of Libya, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen.  Obama’s inaction in the Middle East over the last 6 years has destabilized and undermined the security interest of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrein, Egypt, Jordan, Afghanistan, and the United Arab Republic. The US has effectively weakened the strength of its traditional US Sunni allies in the Middle East, thereby fundamentally contributing toward weakening the US, further contributing to ensure that the US will not be the only Super Power in the world, and reducing the US’ capacity to influence events in the Middle East and in the world. 

Because Obama led from behind these last 6 years, Iran was able to take control and consolidated crude oil reserves in Libya, and Iraq, to add to Iran’s reserves, while developing closer relations with Russia with its large crude oil reserves further strengthens its access to crude oil.  Iran’s is trying to eliminate Saudi Arabia crude oil production dominance, primarily because Saudi Arabia has always supported the United States’ foreign policy objectives by coordinating its crude oil production policy with the US national goals.  Iran’s intent is to try to make Saudi Arabia’s pro-US stance in support of its foreign policy in the Middle East much less relevant.  Alireza Zakani, a loyalist of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said “The Yemeni revolution will not be confined to Yemen alone.  It will extend following it success into Saudi territories. The Yemeni-Saudi vast border will help expedite its reach into the depth of Saudi land.”

By allowing and supporting Iran’s development of nuclear weapons and Intercontinental ballistic missiles, Obama is further fundamentally contributing toward weakening the US, is contributing toward the US not being the only Super Power in the World, and is supporting reducing the US’ capacity to influence word events.  

What truly motivates Obama to allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons, is Obama’s intent to fundamentally weaken the United States, prevent it from being the only Super Power in the world, and his intent to reduce the US’ capacity to influence world events.  Putting all the above preceding facts together, Obama’s historical immoral realignment of America’s foreign policy in the Middle East in favor of Iran, has provided Iran with the control of massive crude oil reserves in Iraq, Libya, and Iran, has contributed toward helping Iran minimizing Saudi Arabia crude oil production dominance in the Middle East, allowed Iran to develop ICBMs, for over 2 years has been extending sham nuclear weapons negotiations with Iran which has been allowing them to develop nuclear warheads, even before negotiations are concluded. Obama’s Middle East Nuclear Weapons Policy will further destabilize the Middle East that is already on fire, and will result in a nuclear weapons arms race in the Middle East, and may result in the breakout of the first nuclear conflict in the history of mankind.

“During the past 3 years, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), reporting on Iran’s nuclear weapons development, the IAEA indicated, at a minimum, they strongly suspect that Iran has already built nuclear warheads. It’s certainly known that Iran has long range ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles).”  Please click on the below listed link to understand why the IAEA believes Iran has been able to develop nuclear warheads over 3 years during which nuclear weapons negotiations initiated by Clinton, continued by Kerry, and controlled by Obama have continued.  It appears that Obama has always intended to permit Iran to develop nuclear weapons.  Their nuclear weapons will pose a great threat to the US’ Sunni allies in the Middle East, the NATO countries, Israel, and the United States.
