He is not ignoring the strategic and moral absurdity that monies delivered to Iran under the deal abet Tehran's imperialism, especially its savage campaign in Syria, which has now claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. Stunningly, Trump is not doing what democracies almost always do: Punt problems down the road, where they inevitably become far worse.
