Joe Biden: What Trump gets dangerously wrong about foreign policy

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump's erratic actions have brought us to the brink of conflict with Iran -- and another war in the Middle East is the last thing we need. I'm thankful no one -- either American or Iraqi -- was killed in the Iranian missile strike. Both Trump and Iran's leaders should take the opportunity to de-escalate and take active steps to avert further conflict.

But make no mistake, the seeds of this crisis were planted by Trump himself on May 8, 2018 -- the day he tore up the Iran nuclear deal against the advice of his own top national security advisers, turned his back on our closest European allies and decided it was more important to him to destroy progress made by the Obama-Biden administration than build on it to create a better and safer world.

The Iran deal verifiably cut off every one of Iran's pathways to a nuclear weapon. International inspectors repeatedly confirmed Iran's compliance, as did our intelligence agencies. One of the greatest threats to stability in the region and global security -- a nuclear-armed Iran -- was greatly reduced.

When the Iran deal was in force, we did not have the dangerous cycle of tit-for-tat provocation and response with Iran that we have watched unfold in the Middle East over the past year, and there was a united front of allies and partners to address Iran's destabilizing actions throughout the region. The deal was not only accomplishing the critical mission it was designed for -- it was creating an environment where diplomacy was possible.
