December 29–31, 2017—In stark contrast to Obama before him, as well as the UN and European leaders concurrently, President Trump and his administration did not hesitate to show his full support for Iranian citizens protesting the Iranian governmental regime.

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

A viable and effective arms agreement takes years of legwork, low level contacts, getting your hands dirty, and sweating the details.
Presidents from Obama, to Reagan, to Jimmy Carter made enormous investments in time, resources, and capital to achieve working agreements.
The international nuclear agreement with Iraq resulted from years of hard work, had broad international support, and was working.
Did Trump, and his boot licking sycophants really think this Orange Hog was just going to parachute in there, achieve lasting results, and win a Nobel Prize to boot? How incompetent and naïve are Trump and his boot lickers? This shit is not like selling frozen steaks! I pray these naïve and clueless boot lickers do not have any jobs with substantial responsibility.

LOL
you are hilarious. The reason they gave it to him was for what he was GOING to do. They even said it. Google it.
https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_pri...009/press.html
Then Obama went on to bomb wedding parties with drones. Hooray. Nobel peace, muthafuckas!
The Peace Prize has been pretty much of a joke since they gave it to Arafat in ‘94.
And Obama lol, well, he got his Peace Prize then proceeded to get his warmonger on. Obama warmongered in Libya for no sane reason; yet, he wouldn’t warmonger on ISIS until they took over in Iraq. He should be forced to give his Peace Prize back.
The Nobel committee is a leftist bunch that shouldn’t be taken seriously by any thinking person.
That said, I think it would be funny if the Nobel committee was FORCED [with FORCED, being the operative word] to give the Peace Prize to Donald Trump, of all people.
If he pulls off NK, he deserves one. Might even bring an air of much needed legitimacy back to it.

Difficult to disagree with that."The Peace Prize has been pretty much of a joke since they gave it to Arafat in ‘94.
And Obama lol" DO #126
That's exquisitely easy to disprove *."well, he got his Peace Prize then proceeded to get his warmonger on. Obama warmongered in Libya for no sane reason" DO #126
The U.S. played no significant role I know of in fomenting the rebellion in Libya. What Obama did was to offer tactical air support, not infantry boots on the ground.
- piffle -" for no sane reason" DO #126
What was the Bush administration's casus belli against Saddam / Iraq?
A falsehood cannot POSSIBLY be a certitude. Bush LIED !! Bush lied us into War. And as a result of those lies Bush killed off more innocent Americans in the 8 years of his administration than bin Laden killed, in those same 8 years."Time is not on our side. I will not wait on events while dangers gather. I will not stand by as peril draws closer and closer. The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons." U.S. President Bush (the younger) in his State of the Union speech Jan. 29, 2002
"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt, that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised."
U.S. President Bush (the younger) televised address to the U.S. March 17th, 2003
In vivid contrast Quadaffy was tied to the Lockerbie airliner bombing.
And FYI, there's no statute of limitations on mass murder. Holding a mass-murderer like Quadaffy to account for killing off an airliner full of passengers & crew is not: " for no sane reason" DO #126
I don't recall Obama warmongering* at all."yet, he wouldn’t warmonger on ISIS until they took over in Iraq." DO #126
What Obama said was, we're not going to put American boots on the ground to defeat these guys. If you Middle Easterners care, then YOU put the boots on the ground. Then we'll support you.
As an honorably discharged U.S. military veteran I deeply appreciate President Obama's parsimony with U.S. blood. Obama was vastly better than the guy he succeeded.
And you call Obama the warmonger?!

and it was ALL bullshit "intelligence" from Sid Blumenthal and CNN cellphones (NTC video from Bengazi)!
Hillary was chomping at the bit. Sid was egging her on. a UN "no fly"became full regime change because of her
insistence. Defense Sec Gates said she was the deciding voice on the NSC council.

Why do I have to explain your own words to you?"You equate warmongering with boots on the ground." DO #129
You posted:
You're accusing President Obama of having been a warmonger. It's simply false." Obama lol, well, he got his Peace Prize then proceeded to get his warmonger on.

You asserted Obama didn't engage ISIL until they took over in Iraq. That never happened. ISIL took over significant territory in multiple nation States.
But Obama's position was clear. The U.S. will help. But the boots on the ground won't be filled with U.S. feet.
That's nice."The people of Libya who had their country torn apart and taken over by terrorists and slave traders, because of Obama, would disagree." DO
But it doesn't change the fact that Quadaffy was a fugitive from international justice, a mass murderer.
I'm not any more pleased about the chaos in present day Libya than you are. But my personal discontent with that does not, can not delegtimize international justice.
In any case your double-standard is stunning. You whine about Obama for one of the most successful U.S. military operations in all history. Obama affected regime change in Libya without a single U.S. battle death that I recall. What I recall is one U.S. aircraft shot down. The rebels overthrowing Quadaffy got hold of the U.S. pilot that ejected safely. And those rebels treated the pilot like a celebrity, a hero.

you blithering idiot.
Qadafi was a member in international good standing and was due a UN humanitarian award.
He was not a "fugitive", and paid reparations for Lockerbie.
Reagan gave him his come to Jesus moment when he bombed his courtyard while he was sleeping outside in a tent
He gave up his nukes willingly in return for protection from US regime change and US aid.
Virtually your entire post is a revisionist lie.
*ugh* we bombed and used Tomahawks as did NATO and were in no real danger of Libya SAMsYou whine about Obama for one of the most successful U.S. military operations in all history. Obama affected regime change in Libya without a single U.S. battle death that I recall. What I recall is one U.S. aircraft shot down.
We droned his convoy, and he was torn up and shot by a rebel mob.
As a result of our regime change/assassination Libya is a hellhole to this day.
Power outages..no water supplies.. last year they were drilling Tripoli sidewalks to get water when the pumping station went down with no electricity for a prolonged period. Kidnappings ( the prime minister 2x) ISIS...
So stuff that revisionism,and take ownership that Obama created a failed terrorist state.
He does. Obama calls it his greatest failure ( then he blames Cameron) -but no matter he does acknowledge.
Hillary to this day will not call Libya a botched operation
Operation "Inherent Resolve" my ass.
