>>Which question does "no downside" address? Not the one I asked.

Why would anyone want to be bound by an agreement (especially one harmful to themselves) for which there is no downside in getting out? We can try to make a new agreement if it could be beneficial to us.

But as far as I can see, no such agreement short of our total control of the other party's nuclear ambitions makes sense. And that just serves to aggravate them. It isn’t dogmatic or personal. It was just a stupid deal that offers zero advantage to us. It isn’t punishment for Obama. But where is the values in staying in it?
