American Credibility Erosion
President Obama accused President Trump of eroding American credibility by pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal. But his views on eroding credibility must have evolved.
American Credibility
In 2009 Obama wanted to reset relations with Russia. So he pulled out of Bush’s missile defense deal with Poland and the Czech Republic.
Three things to note: (1) the Bush missile defense deal was not an international agreement among multiple countries; but a one-on-one; one-on-two military agreement. The kind that countries change frequently. (2) It was not implemented yet. (3) Obama had a plan of what to replace it with.
These are not comparable situations. You are making a point. Fine. Your example falls in the realm of expected changes between administrations. To wit – compare the world’s reactions to Obama’s decision to that of Trump’s on the Iran agreement.
