When Barack Obama was preparing his fight for a second term as U.S. president in 2012, his administration was preoccupied with two big foreign policy crises.

The first was the potential unravelling of the euro zone, which his team worried could cause an economic shock and cost him the White House. The second was the possibility that Israel would launch a military strike against Iran over its nuclear program and trigger a regional conflict with politically damaging consequences for Obama.

That was the main problem with Obama. His main concern was his re-election. Not the American people.

U.S. plan for Iran is unclear

The objectives are clear enough - keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. How to go about it is complicated. We don't want to destroy the country. Good thing we have a president who is a stable genius and can play 4D chess.

Serrano: "The objectives are clear enough - keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon."

And from having missiles and from having any weapon with which to resist US dictatorship. Iraq did not have a nuclear weapon and look what the US did. All nations need nuclear weapons while the US continues its dictatorship and global domination.

The US has no legal right or authority to dictate what arms any nation can have. It is because of US dictatorship and bullying that nations are developing nuclear weapons. And with the US establishing a Space Force, another arms race will start.

And yet you support Trump, who is doing exactly what you just criticized Obama for supposedly doing.

Trump doesn't have a plan. Obviously.
