Actually I am very consistent on how I apply the power of a sovereign nation.
I believe that a nation is sovereign over the people and businesses that are within its borders.
I believe that a nation is not sovereign over what other nations can do. In fact I believe that if a nation insists on permanently limiting the sovereignty of another nation then there will be constant conflict and eventually wars.
The only way we were able to get this deal was with a coalition of other sovereign countries on our side. But not all of those other countries are 100% friendly with the United States and/or Israel. They do not want Iran to get a nuclear weapon, but they also don't want that potentially lucrative economic market to be shut off forever. So we could not just insist on endless compliance.
And who are we to scoff at who deals with Iran when we hang from the Saudis' nutsack?
