Today:
Obama admin is stalling a congressional inquiry into its ongoing refusal to uphold a U.S. law that would sanction Russia for selling advanced missile systems to Iran,
The 90s
Despite a Secret Pact by Gore in ’95, Russian Arms Sales to Iran Go On
…In exchange for the Russian promises, the United States pledged not to seek penalties against Russia under a 1992 law that requires sanctions against countries that sell advanced weaponry to countries the State Department classifies as state sponsors of terrorism. Iran is on that list.
Dammit, I hated the 90s but at least at that time we had won the Cold War.
