Tom Rogan on Trump’s Recertifying Iran Nuke Deal: Realism Demands Dealing with the Issue at the Moment

‘The focal point, again, has to be what drives American security interests into a positive direction?’

RUSH EXCERPT:
ROGAN: "Realism in foreign policy demands that you deal with an issue at the moment. Of course, he said a lot of things during the campaign. The focal point, again, has to be what drives American security interests into a positive direction? At this point, to pull out, as he suggests, the money is already there, the contracts are already there and we don’t yet have a strategy. The one thing the Trump Administration needs to do is to actually take the decisions that are necessary in terms of covert action, whether it be CIA or the military, and terms of pressuring Iran behind the scenes. If you just pull out at this moment, you are not going to affect the Iranian economy. You're going to isolate the United States with Europeans and that ballistic missile issue which won’t be addressed. If you take a more balanced approach, you can get the Europeans to agree to a tougher affect in terms of countering that ballistic missile."
