Well that worked.

Iran has pulled out of key commitments under the 2015 international nuclear deal, a year after it was abandoned by the US.

President Hassan Rouhani said he would keep enriched uranium stocks in the country rather than sell them abroad.

He also threatened to resume production of higher enriched uranium in 60 days.

The accord was aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions in return for sanctions relief, but Iran-US tensions have risen since Washington quit.

Iran's economy has since been hit by renewed US sanctions.

The announcement comes after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made an unscheduled visit to Iraq, and a US aircraft carrier was deployed to the Gulf region.

US officials have reported threats to US forces and their allies from Iran, but have given few details about the exact nature of the threat.

The exact nature of the threat is the Russian military build up in Venezuela, while president lickspittle dutifully sends American aircraft carriers to the other side of the globe.

@izzythepush,
Maybe we'll finally get to see the US Air Force inflict some justice on Iran. It's long overdue.

Yeah, we've lost count of the number of times Iran has bombed the US of A.

No, Builder, I'm not going to prepare an "outline" at your request. And he ain't "my president". I'll just say that his administration has manifestly ignored the consequences of unrestricted economic expansion and the increased extracting and burning of fossil fuels. And Trump himself has totally abnegated the USA's leadership role in addressing global environmental decline and leading efforts to combat further degradation.

@Builder,
I haven't lost count. And I'm eager for the US Air Force to even the score.

No, that's impossible. We've never seen this sort of thing before. The conservative movement sits next to god.

Trump campaign distances itself from David Bossie over alleged scam
Trump’s longtime friend was accused of using his political group to scam elderly Republican voters for his own financial gain.

The Trump campaign is distancing itself from one of its highest-profile supporters, David Bossie, two days after the president’s longtime friend was accused of using his political group to scam elderly Republican voters for his own financial gain.

“President Trump’s campaign condemns any organization that deceptively uses the President’s name, likeness, trademarks, or branding and confuses voters,” the campaign said in a statement on Tuesday.

“We encourage the appropriate authorities to investigate all alleged scam groups for potential illegal activities,” it added.

The statement did not mention Bossie by name but appeared to be a clear rebuke of his group, the President Coalition, which added $18.5 million to its coffers from 2017 to 2018 after promising donors it was “dedicated to identifying and supporting conservative candidates running for office at the state and local levels of government.” Fundraising materials produced by the group often featured images of the White House and of Bossie and Trump together.

Not every conservative bigwig is running a scam that lines his/her pockets. For example, take the leadership of the NRA. Good guys all.

@hightor,
I was having dinner with four other Vancouver Island folks last night and this news came up for discussion. Each was reasonably well informed with the report. We need Fox up here in Canada, obviously.

So far as we know, over the last 24 hours, no school children have had their brains and guts and eyeballs and jawbones splattered across their schoolroom walls and floors.

Way to go, America!

Wow.

Please don't disrespect school children in this manner. A child died. Others were wounded. Show some compassion.

@blatham,
This happened about sixteen and a half hours ago.

Quote:
A teenager has been killed and seven others injured after two pupils allegedly opened fire in a US school.

The attack at the STEM School Highlands Ranch, near Denver, Colorado, took place on Tuesday, police said. Both attackers have now been arrested.

Highlands Ranch is just 8km (5 miles) from Columbine High School - the site of one of the US's worst school shootings 20 years ago.

This is believed to be the 115th mass shooting in the US in 2019.


https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48196487<br /> <br />This is the 128th day of this year. 115 means there's more than one every two days.

Or assuming no doubles it leaves only 13 days this year with no mass shootings.

@neptuneblue,
Instead of worrying about disrespect maybe you Americans should stop butchering your children.

You know, like normal countries.

Sometimes being snarky has an opposite effect.

Right. I guess it was that recent. The hours I keep tend to screw up my sense of time.

Unfuckingbelievable. Healthy nation, America.
