According to Reuters, President Trump has already made the decision to disrupt, for want of a better word, the nuclear deal with Iran.

On the one hand, I can understand that he spent a lot of his campaign for presidency complaining about it. On the other, I can only think, what on earth is he doing?

The Iran nuclear agreement was a success in terms of the world coming together and agreeing, together with implementing, a solution to what was perceived as big problem. It showed that nations with different points of view could work together for a solid agreement that should stand the test of time.

That could now, it seems, all go to waste. With North Korea being a current problem for the world in terms of what could happen in it's open development of nuclear arms, failure of the Iran deal, or even just the US trying to destroy it, will affect the possibility of any deal being struck with North Korea. Why would North Korea even try for a deal if it can simply be deemed invalid at a later date?

I still remember way back, when a deal WAS struck with North Korea. North Korea made a spectacle of destroying one of its development plants or cooling towers only for the US to renege on the deal - it seemed that the US had already got something, but it then wanted more. Unfortunately, today's media tends to forget such things.
