.MaddowBlog: Mike Pompeo this week tried to defend former President Trump's abandonment of the Iran nuclear deal. It really didn't go well.
Second, Pompeo's pitch was so weak, it's hard not to wonder whether he thought it through. The way the former cabinet secretary boasted this week, he and Trump were specifically warned that exiting the JCPOA would create new national security threats for the West, at which point the Republican administration did it anyway. This is worth bragging about, why?
None of this escaped Pompeo's successor. Secretary of State Antony Blinken held an end-of-year news conference yesterday and, with regards to Iran's nuclear program,"[W]e are where we are because of what I consider to be one of the worst decisions made in American foreign policy in the last decade, and that was getting out of the Iran nuclear agreement, the JCPOA, an agreement that had put Iran's nuclear program in a box.
Unfortunately for everyone, cleaning up this specific mess is proving to be incredibly difficult. Late last week, the seventh round of talks between JCPOA participants ended in Vienna with no obvious signs of progress, and no scheduled eighth round.CNN yesterday,"At some point in the not-so-distant future, we will have to conclude that the JCPOA is no more, and we'd have to negotiate a wholly new different deal, and of course we'd go through a period of escalating crisis.
