Why would anyone who rails against Putin want him to be able to sell his oil despite sanctions? Why would anyone who thinks China is an economic rival think that allowing them to buy oil from bad actors at lower prices is a good thing?

Oddly enough isn’t that what Trump has been supporting?

By starting this war, the Trump administration has created a supply shock that has forced the United States to provide temporary sanctions relief to Iran, the country it is fighting against, as well as a belligerent Russia. Despite the administration’s attempt to downplay the benefits the two countries will receive, sanctions relief will likely result in increased revenue for Iran and could result in Russia receiving $3.3 to $5 billion in additional oil revenue in March.

Regarding nuclear weapons, Iran was under control until Trump I abandoned the treaty.
