CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW OF THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

PRESIDENT OBAMA COMPROMISES ON SENATE INITIATIVE

Is it just me?

Or, are there others, who like me do feel their stomachs fluttering and perhaps even quaking a bit, having heard simultaneous announcements that Russia and Iran have made an S-300 Missile System deal and that the White House has signed onto the Senate initiative regarding the Iran Nuclear Talks?  (It is a good thing that the Senate came together across Party Lines and that President Obama cooperated.)

"Serendipity doo-da... serendiptiy-ehhh.... I've got a feeling it's a wonderful day [in the Chinese sense of 'wonderful' -- analogous to the Chinese sense of 'interesting']...."  Come on... you know you want to sing that tune with me!

WHEN IRANISH AND RUSSISH EYES ARE SMILING:

QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ANNOUNCED SALE OF THE S-300 RUSSIAN MISSILE SYSTEM TO IRAN...

1) Will the S-300 Missile System provide Iran with an effective "iron dome" of protection against an attack of it's nuclear facilities, military facilities, and government facilities?

2) Will deployment of the S-300 Missile System be observable to American and Israeli and Other human and technological Intelligence systems?

3) If the S-300 Missile System is observable to non-Iranian Intelligence, then may the existence of this System reveal high priority Iranian targets (especially nuclear infrastructure targets)?

4) Will there be enough scope to the Iranian S-300 deployment, such that Iran may move S-300 missiles, where they may "protect" neighborhoods of internal opposition to Iran's theocracy (which then America or Israel or Others might then mistakenly target and destroy, harming the Iranian internal opposition and aiding the Iranian theocracy)?

5) Will there be sufficient scope to the Iranian S-300 deployment plan, that Iran may move S-300 missiles, where they may "protect" dummy targets, deceiving America or Israel or Others into believing in false locations of presumed priority targets?

6) Is the timing and the announcement of this Russian-Iranian missile deal a "stick-it-to-ya" moment that Putin and Rouhani are celebrating at the expense of Obama? Or is Obama a less obvious party to this deal? 

7) Did Putin and Rouhani both just save 15% on their car insurance by switching to GEICO?

8) Are Putin and Rouhani arrogantly confident that neither Obama nor Netanyahu nor Another will order an attack against Iranian priority targets? Are Putin and Rouhani arrogantly attempting to provoke attack? Are Putin and Rouhani offering a gambit that only an arrogant or ill-advised fool would accept? Are Putin and Rouhani bluffing? Is Obama indeed the naked emperor, and the whole world laughing at him? Or is America the naked empire, and the entire world poised to flay the U.S.?

Cuba is about to be removed from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, which gives rise to the question, "Is Obama about to make "good" on his promise to close down Guantanamo?" The logical next step for Obama may then be to completely abandon the American Naval Base at Guantanamo, even as Russia and China expand military and infrastructure activities in the Caribbean and in South America...
