James appears for his bi-monthly appearance on Financial Survival to discuss the latest in news, geopolitics and economics. This week he breaks down the US’ withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and its potential ramifications, including what it means for nuclear negotiations with North Korea.

Over here in Europe the leaders feel like Trump has just pissed on their backs. James is right in that there is no discussion about the criticisms of the deal. This could be an example of 'America First', or a few contend that Trump has ulterior motives aimed at rooting out his enemies. As James says, can it really be the case that there are no members of the ruling elite that see this dollar collapse coming and want to position themselves for the after negotiations. I think this could well be one of the major factors in the obvious split between the establishment and the Trump camp. I believe Trump has worked behind the scenes with China to bring about a Chinese desire for peace - whilst letting Trump take all the credit. Everyone wins. Therefore I am willing to entertain the notion that there are things going on behind the scenes we are not privvy too. Trump's nationalist outlook is clearly opposing the globalists, the danger of nationalism is that it can, like a poison, lead to conflict. This is especially true in a world where a depression is being held at bay only by massive money printing. Funnily enough if all the super powers didn't have nuclear weapons they would probably be at war by now. Peace x
It will be big problem over all ww3
I wish the negotiations become successful!
The nuclear agreement was very restrictive but not restrictive enough for Trump or Bibi. Apparently Israel and USA want full access to Iranian military locations. If Iran is foolish enough to accept something like that it would take only one further step for complete destruction of Iran. It is tragic, but it seems that North Korea seems to have the model for state sovereignty in the new age and going further. If you want a sovereign country, build a nuclear arsenal.
Has anyone been able to verify that Iran actually signed the deal? was there ever a deal?
There must have been one, if the USA is withdrawing from it; if the other signatories are hustling around trying to avoid this elephant from entering the international glass store and dragging them along. What i think Americans may be asking in a few months (if things get ugly) is: was there ever an election? how did this guy get into the white house?
I don't know about you, guys, but i don't think radical nationalism or isolationism is going to do any good to the USA. History says otherwise.
I clicked around on the official documents and I couldn't find any, where is it? "There must be one" does not suffice.
So far things have been going great, looks like little rocketman is coming to the table, weren't Trump's words supposed to start WW3 then as well?
What evidence is there of either "radical nationalism" or "isolationism" in actual Trump policies?
Trump is nationalistic as opposed to being a globalist who wants to destroy the USA but what are you calling radical?
Shouldn't everyone who leads a nation be a nationalist to some degree?
You are right in regards to North Korea (although we should wait some more to conclude that Trump broke rocketman). I personally always thought that idiot was just bluffing (it was just a matter of confronting him head-on). However, Trumps discourse is clumsy, impulsive and always leading towards untimely conservatism, antiforeignism (if you allow me the word).
True, any leader should gather strength and support from their fellow countrymen and women, usually appealing to some kind of common ground, but in a country such as the USA, with such complex history of immigration, discourses like Trump's only alienate and separate (both internally and internationally).
I can understand the fear to foreigners, especially with these bunch of crazy ass fundamentalists, but over generalizations only lead to injustice and excess, the same things America has criticized from dictatorships around the world.
Balance, i guess, is the key word. America has the man power, the technology and the history of heroic deeds that have contributed to the good of humanity; it also has the history of screw-ups from which it should learn to avoid future embarrassments that will only fuel more financial crisis or, worse, terrorism.
Except in that case it seems to be leading to peace in America's longest running war, there is an unprecedented meeting with Trump and Kim scheduled, something no president has achieved in decades. After that meeting Trump should get the Nobel peace prize. How is that " untimely conservatism, antiforeignism"?
Trump is pro immigration. He only opposes criminal illegal aliens. Something that is good for Americans and ultimately the illegal aliens themselves, anyone who supports illegal immigration supports exploitation.
Then why do you keep making these unfounded overgeneralizations?
Trump is doing everything he can to extract us from those long running conflicts. Peace in Korea, removing our military support for Europe, ending the conflicts in the Middle East are all on the horizon for the first time ever.
It's 3D chess, Trump is just bluffing, but he does it so well that you can't say for sure if he is or not right?
That's how Trump operates, he plays the role of the crazy idiot, then he makes a threat and you have to take it seriously, because he is a crazy idiot he just might do it right?
Have you ever read his book?
I haven´t read his book. Can't afford it from my part of the world.
I don't think i made any unfounded overgeneralizations.
There are crazy fundamentalists messing up around the world (not all of them Muslims, by the way). I am not the one saying, for instance, that illegal immigrants are criminals or do not have skills. Many decent, skilled people have been forced to cross borders illegally, not only USA borders. In any case, i guess time will judge the extent of Trump's achievements as a statesman.
you called Trump an isolationist, he is anything but. Who said only Muslims were messing up? What other fundamentalists are blowing themselves up on the regular?
Illegal aliens are criminals by definition, I am sure I didn't say whether they had skills or not.
We have many options for legal immigration into the US, there are even ways for illegals to become legal citizens so why are you defending criminals and exploitation?
Here is a link to a download of the paper http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-7178/CBP-7178.pdf but if you want to see the signature I thing you will have to write to the secretary of State office for an copy.
So no signature there either? I've read everything the US State Department has and no signatures there either. Seems like this was never actually an agreement. It should be published, I shouldn't have to send away for a copy.
One belt one road, so we have to play along with this play. Shouldn't we be in solar and other energy sources to become independent. At what point do we call bull shit on all this crap. It's real hard to stay positive while listening to what is really happening...
This is all to satisfy the NWO agendas . 🇺🇸🇨🇭🇬🇧🏴🇸🇦🇮🇱🇪🇺🇫🇷 These life taking FUCKERS .
