Cha said something about Obama speaking for past bullies, I said his hands are not clean and referenced the 2010 oil sanctions. I actually support lifting them but mostly because I'm not a fan of putting sanctions on a sovereign country in the first place. Especially when there is a hypocrisy involved. The only reason why I mentioned it was an example, I could probably find another example but it is subjective.
The issue was more recent in lifting the cap on exports, which countries allowed to import want to import more Iranian oil is a more recent issue. I actually favor Obama's change but the change in geopolitics was the reason for it rather than an agreement that disapproves putting sanctions on countries.
Any serious honest person wouldn't find a bit of irony in the claim "Big countries don't bully smaller countries".
