Iran--Fear for the future

My first political priority is keeping out of international conflicts.

I have been pleased with the Obama administration in its actions to lessen conflict with Cuba. It has also soothed some of the negativity toward Iran.

Now we have Netanyahu coming to talk to Trump tomorrow. We know that he has vigorously opposed Obama's agenda for Iran. He also has hated any other attempts to less conflicts in the Middle East.

We know what his agenda with Trump will be. This is very frightening.

Putin wants return of the old Soviet empire. Now there is a deal for you only problem this is probably biting off more than Putin and Trump can chew. A second front in Asia with China makes that really difficult. This has been tried before and failed. This time around America is not the beacon of hope.
