This is not news at all, he was always going to do it. It just took a deadline and two new foreign policy-based hires. This might be Drumpf's most catastrophic decision yet. It's infuriating to me. There was no reason to do this other than to spite Obama and to placate Bolton and Pompeo. I take back what I said about Drumpf no longer having his expectation as the instigator of a nuclear war. That war may not be with North Korea but it could still happen due to a short-sided decision. It might even become the problem of the next administration. Leave it to Drumpf to light a bag of feces on fire, ring the doorbell, and run away for the rest of the world to deal with.
I don't want to hear about how uninspiring a candidate like Clinton is ever again. Her campaign based on preserving and building on Obama's policies and legacy may not have been the most exciting but there is no conceivable way that her decisions would be as disastrous as Drumpf's. She was the warmonger? She was corrupt? To hell with that! Political campaigns are a means to an end so that candidate could act upon those campaign promises. A promise to maintain the Iran Deal should have been recognized as an important step to keeping relative peace in the world. relative peace should have been enough to make people turn out and use some rational thought. Everything about Obama's legacy is being dismantled and affecting the country for the worse. Thanks to apathy, spite, complacency, and being easily manipulated; millions of Americans are as complicit as Drumpf is in endangering our country and, by extension, the world.
As long as people like Drumpf are getting elected, we don't deserve to choose our own politicians. Our flaws are getting in the way of progress. We don't deserve to live in peace. We deserve to be punished for our own decisions. In fact we are being punished because of those same decisions.
Am I having another one of my over-dramatic moments? I don't think I am because the gravity of this decision to withdraw is going to be lost on too many simpletons in this country. As long as things don't immediately or directly affect most people they won't care. They will look the other way as Drumpf and the GOP continue to be incompetent, corrupt, and cynical. Am I being condescending? I don't care anymore if I am. I'm seen that way already since I'm a liberal Democrat from New Jersey. Policy doesn't matter anymore. Facts don't matter anymore. Nothing matters unless it serves the purpose of spiteful tribalism and being rubbed in the face of SJW, coastal elitist, neoliberal, *insert other buzzword here*, cucks like myself.
I almost feel bad for writing stuff like this but I just can't help but succumb to despair when I hear news like this. I'm sorry.
