UN Court says Treaty Makes US Sanctions Illegal – Trump Admin. Dumps Treaty

The big news that doesn’t have the words Kavanaugh or Ford in it, is a declaration by the United Nations International Court of Justice. It claims that planned U.S. Sanctions on the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism are illegal and that they must ease them. Why? A 1955 Treaty with Iran.

The Trump administration’s response. We’re terminating the treaty.

Take that, globalist ninnies.

“We’re disappointed that the court failed to recognize that it has no jurisdiction to issue any order relating to these sanctions measures with the United States, which is doing its work on Iran to protect its own essential security interests,” Pompeo said during a news conference at the State Department.

I’m certain the initial huzzah’s from the media, and the left (which includes a Yuge chunk of the world) are falling flat as this news triggers America haters across the globe.

My response? Don’t care.

Iran is responsible for the deaths of countless human lives and is lead by a Theocracy that is content to burn the entire world to free it of infidels if it must.

Besides, it’s our money. We have our own problems. That doesn’t mean disengaging from the world, but as Mr. Trump said in his recent UN Speech, we’re done helping anyone is not our ally.

Iran wants to destroy us. I think that qualifies as an enemy.
