During a segment on MSNBC’s The Last Word late Thursday, all three liberal panelists spouted off on the ability of the Soviet Union to follow treaties (in context of the Iran deal), comparing the Iran nuclear agreement to Richard Nixon’s China visit, and lamenting the “partisan...political climate” Republicans have caused the deal to be implemented under. 

Host Lawrence O’Donnell first teed up historian Allan Lichtman to provide “historical context for us and on the assumption that the deal works” to which Lichtman took the conversation in a strange direction by invoking the Soviet Union as a country that followed its treaties during the Cold War.
