Charles Krauthammer: Worst since Munich

Charles Krauthammer: Worst since Munich

Charles Krauthammer says he believes President Barack Obama’s deal with Iran is “the worst deal since Munich.”

“This is a sham from beginning to end. It’s the worst deal since Munich,” Krauthammer said on Fox News Special Report on Monday. “It’s really hard to watch the President and the Secretary of State and not think how they cannot be embarrassed by this deal.”

The Munich Agreement of 1938 between Hitler and major European powers expanded Germany’s borders. Today, the failed negotiation is widely considered an act of appeasement.

Krauthammer expressed deep skepticism that Iran would act in good faith and said that the country would retain its capacity to enrich uranium. He also added that the decreased sanctions outlined by the administration would provide an influx of cash to alleviate shortages in the country and reduce inflation, reducing incentives for the Iranian regime to comply with international nonproliferation efforts.

“[I]t undermines the entire idea of nonproliferation, and it grants Iran a right it’s been lusting for for a decade. That’s why there was so much jubilation in Tehran over this,” Krauthammer said.
