9. Consider many do not dispute him when he says that he made NK better

In fact the comparison is to the time when he was calling him rocketman and threatening bombing. THAT for many on the right became the "BEFORE" letting him claim things are better due to his interactions.

Not attacking Iran will not make the US look weaker than we looked before. We already are weaker as far as diplomacy is concerned. The US was with the entire P5 of the UN plus Germany when the nuclear agreement was made and earlier when sanctions were levied.

Under Obama, we led on setting up the coalition against ISIS and led in the economic sanctions action with Europe when Russia invaded Ukraine. We were with our natural allies on everything.

Other than SA and UAE, currently committing war crimes in Yemen per the UN, who would support us in engaging Iran?

I was apprehensive that Trump would go ahead and bomb Iran no_hypocrisy Jun 2019 #1
