OK, it’s happened, Iran says it can quickly build an atomic bomb if it wants, and thank you oh, so much ex-President Barack Obama for facilitating this achievement with a progressively inane deal throwing sanctions out the window while autocratically skipping a constitutionally required treaty process.
Thank you, too, President Joe Biden, for trying to make us overly dependent on Iranian oil as we stifle the development of our own resources in part by telling climate-changing oil companies they have no future because here come windmills and solar panels. An obvious problem is that renewables aren’t ready yet and will never do the job of fossil fuels by themselves unless we go agrarian in an impoverished, post-industrial future.
Of course, Iranian oil produces as much CO2 as American oil and, if Biden had been successful in getting Iran to produce more oil for U.S. benefit, CO2 from Iran would still be making things hotter while we might have had to say goodbye to Israel. Biden also visited that ally in his miswrought Middle East adventure and listened as the Israeli prime minister, Yair Lapid, tried to explain to him how a deal strengthening Iran could accelerate Iran's dream of Israelis disappearing from their earthly presence once and for all.
