Sanctions based on punitive measures aren't viewed favorably, especially when made for diplomacy.

Nobody is talking about for punitive reasons. (You libs and your straw men). The goal is to drive them to compliance and make them beg for relief. Not to half-ass sanctions then beg them for something to show for your legacy.

If we can take out Iran that easily then they better stay in their own lane.

Except now we can't because we are in a deal with them and they can use that to weasel, play shell games and stall. As, I explained, even if they follow it to a T, they get ICBMs, heavy water reactor technology and thousands of centrifuges. All the pieces to quickly put together a weapon program that will be a direct threat to us.

I thought sanctions were easy to impose?

Again with the straw men. If you want to argue with the made up objections in your own head, why are you bothering me. I said we need to expend diplomatic capital. Serious diplomatic capital. Call in all favors, beg, bribe, or intimidate to get the world on board. If we are trying to avert a Trillion dollar war, then act like it. Not the half measures of an appeaser like Obama. But this deal makes it even more difficult to get the half-assed Obama sanctions turned back on.

At least now the Green Party and Moderates have a incentive to try to keep their own under control.

The mullahs run everything. It's totalitarian. All choice is an illusion. They put all the names on the ballots.

And if they bomb us they have to do it with 6K first-generation centrifuges

And Pakistan only needed half that to built their bomb.

That makes this deal better than status quo even if you have the assumption it gets broken in the near future. As they are much further from the bomb.

Nope, they are not. They are just the same position, but will have a decade of international top cover to work on ICBMs and Plutonium.
