If you believe that the mutually assured destruction, the balance of power, would have held all of that together...

then I'm compelled by that argument that, you know, we should have left it alone.

But the truth of the matter is that I worked against these people.

And I know how to mull this thing to the extent that anybody sitting on this side of the divide can know.

And I don't trust them.

And their messianic mission, their single mindedness to get this nuclear device when their economy sucks, their people are in open revolt.

We know 30 to 40,000 of them have been killed.

Then I say to myself, if you're going to accuse our president of war crimes, you better have an alternative to what we do about the fact that you're going to have a nation with nukes that can reach us at some point relatively soon and has a messiah complex and practically has death to America written on their currency.

So from where I sit, those are the stakes.

And we should understand them before we start throwing things around like impeach and try our president for war crimes, because frankly, I find that disgusting.

And just to close the loop, if I can, real quick, you know, I don't want to hear that the alternative was the JCPOA, because you still hear that, right?

When you consider the fact that as part of the negotiations here, we were just told that they had enough nukes for building –

at least 10, 11 devices.

But furthermore, they're not supposed to have the missile that they just fired 2,000 miles.

So you're telling me that the inspection regime was working because you don't develop that overnight.

That's been a program that's been going on.

So this idea, that would be their alternative.

Oh, you had a deal, you tore it up.

I was at the Council on Foreign Relations when John Kerry got off the plane.

It's the first place he went to explain that deal.
