"Of all the threats to global security and peace, the most dangerous is the proliferation and potential use of nuclear weapons. That's why, seven years ago in Prague, I committed the United States to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and to seeking a world without them."Despite his op-ed in March of this year (quoted above) complaining about the perils of nations continuing to stockpile nuclear arms, Obama has made every effort to destabilize the political plain by empowering Iran to gain nuclear capability, and overlooking North Korea's established capacity. It is the blatant counter-productivity of pressing forward with the Iran Deal that has left Americans -- and anyone with a smattering of common sense -- in something of a quandary regarding the true intentions of White House policy. The administration denies this is another leg on Obama's unending apology tour, but the general purpose of the president's special side trip to Hiroshima is difficult to describe as anything less. White House spokesman Josh Earnest insisted there was another reason for the visit... "the president will emphasize Washington's responsibility to lead the world in an effort to eliminate them [nuclear arms]." The irony of the whole exercise stems from Obama's first receiving a Nobel Peace Prize for his intention to rid the world of nuclear arms and the following fact that the president has done virtually everything in his power to achieve the opposite. Case in point--the Iran Deal, which is generally accepted as being no "deal" at all but a major con job.
