Cautious 1.75 cheers /// EDIT 2.9 cheers.
Since Polistra has always favored Persia, she feels obliged to cheer the new "treaty", but with serious reservations. It's not at all clear why USA STRONG bothered to make this "treaty", which runs counter to the Holy Will Of Our Lord And Prophet Binyamin Netanyahu.
Unlike nearly everything that comes from DC, this agreement doesn't instantly stink of total fraudulence. It could be real. Seems to fulfill Obama's expressed intentions, and it's also consistent with his reconnection to Cuba. Getting rid of useless old conflicts, probably gaining business for some favored corporation.
Main source of suspicion: The "constitution" died in 1803. Since then, Presidents have mainly made treaties without the alleged "constitutional" method that involves the Senate. On the rare occasions when a president runs a treaty through the Senate, he is running a bankshot. Satisfying his base with symbolism, satisfying his real bosses with reality. Good old passivation. "Not my fault! I tried, but those horrible OtherParty creatures destroyed my noble effort!"
I could be wrong, and I hope I'm wrong, but this is how things normally work.
EDIT later: Oops, I misunderstood. Obama is NOT running the deal through the Senate as a guaranteed-to-fail "treaty". It's a normal non-Senate "agreement", like every treaty that is intended to work. Congress is simply creating a non-binding opinion poll, which has been misdescribed by the Isramerican media as "Constitutionally required approval". So I'll raise the cheer count to nearly 3.
