“There has been no change in the behavior of Iran since 1979 when they took our hostages, 1983 when they bombed the marine boats in Beirut. Currently Iran holds 4 Americans hostages,” he said in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon.  “Doing these negotiations, we have seen a 20 percent increase in their uranium enrichment, so, there’s no ‘good faith’ in this deal. What we have, replaying itself, is a 1930’s Chamberlin-Hitler moment, and you know how well that worked out.”
...
West also criticized the administration for not taking a firm enough approach to dealing with Putin. The White House needs to make it clear that it will not be put off by their aggression, according to West.
“If he had a positive strategy against Russia, Russia would not be in the Ukraine. Russia would not have taken Crimea. The Baltic States would not be concerned. We keep hearing reports of Russian aircraft that are buzzing our naval vessels in international seas. That’s not the sign of someone who believes that you have a resolute will. That’s the sign of someone who believes that they can intimidate you,” West said. “Bullies are always going to pick on weaklings, and that’s what he sees.”
...
He argued that IS (also known as ISIS or ISIL) is the product of a lack of American presence in the region following the fall of al Qaeda, and that the United States must assume responsibility for this outcome and continue to assume responsibility throughout the current fight.
“You created this entity called ISIS, which is the reconstitution of al Qaeda in Iraq, which had been defeated, so now you need to take the actions necessary to degrade, defeat and destroy them,” he said. “There is a complete obfuscation of any responsibility. We had generals that were recommending a residual force of 10-12, maybe 13,000, and the president refused to take that advice and that council, so basically, this administration made a campaign promise decision, instead of a valid national security strategy decision, and now they are trying to eschew any type of responsibility for the consequences that everyone knew would occur.”
