Don't you ever get tired of being a jerk? Take a break.

Haha, consider me a mirror. I respond to people in the same manner they present themselves to me.

Bobbie, you can’t constantly throw haymakers here and not expect to eventually get slapped.

Sure did.

And it’s my money coming back to me. The R in TABOR is refund.

It’s actually “Rights” however we all are smart enough to know better.

So,
Mr. Paul on here for years has defended OBama’s policy of rapprochement with Iran.
Now Iran has directly attacked our chief ally in the Region, Israel, which is also being pressured by Biden to stand down.
What Clownage.
Just read this from the Free Press. Weakness from Democrats directly caused this iish.

I advocate for the reduction of nuclear weapons to make the world a safer place.
I would hope everyone would do the same.

We're not just discussing limits on a further increase of nuclear weapons; we seek, instead, to reduce their number. We seek the total elimination one day of nuclear weapons from the face of the Earth.

Except that Iran, never reduced. EVER. But enhanced during Obama and Biden’s feckless administrations. And now they are emboldened by the weakness.

Notice how Paul never addresses the article at all. The exact same strategy as this Administration. Defer and deflect.
Everyone notices Paul.

Oh. And the world is sooooooool much safer now!!!!

Of course they reduced their capability. Sent tons of enriched uranium to other countries under the JCPOA.
I don't expect you to know the facts, as the article you quoted left out so much of what really happened.

About 97 per cent of Iran's stockpile was eliminated under the JCPOA, leaving less than 300 kg of low-enriched uranium—this cannot produce a nuclear weapon.

You might want to read that assessment from 2017 from one of our allies. It's a good overview of the pros and cons of the JCPOA.
It notes that the last administration under Trump certified Iran's compliance twice, before backing out of the agreement.
