R, jake the architect of the Iran Nuclear Deal, and incredibly overqualified Public Servant who has dedicated his life to Public Service here the Iran Nuclear Deal, classic application of factand soft power, of over fiction, and hope over fear. Jake, my only advice to you is that you take Harry Trumans Campaign Advice and remember, as harry truman said, carry the battle to them, dont let them bring it to you.
