Only USMB could have 6 Swalwell threads and zero on the $6B payment to Iran

Navy destroyers are not the best minesweepers.

Guess what Dear Leader did when he took office last year.

He decommissioned all four of the US Navy's minesweepers in the region.

Just when you think Trump is a fuckup in every way possible, he finds whole new failures to achieve.

There really has been no one more incompetent in the White House in the history of the United States.

Delusional. Weren't you a Biden supporter?

 

[g5000]

Iran isn't going to open the Strait. Iran isn't going to open anything except for a can of Whoop Ass.

You really don't understand what is happening, do you.

 

[BS Filter]

You really don't understand what is happening, do you.

I understand perfectly what's going on. Go ahead and straighten me out if you believe I'm confused.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Iran has admitted they lost track of where all the mines are. They were placed by small boats and they did not chart them well.

That is probably why the US Navy has had to step in, so that in the eventuality of Iran reopening the strait, it will be cleared.

But the strait is still closed to anyone who won't pay Iran the toll fee.

I don't think you thought that through.

If they don't know where the mines are, how can they "reopen" the strait? How could they let ships through if any of them "pay the toll fee" if they don't even know where the mines are?

 

[Mac-7]

You seem really ready to just shrug this off

And yet you and your buddies STILL go one about Obama unfreezing far less money when we WEREN’T at war with them.

And then there the matter of Trump easing oil sanctions on Iran… NOW!

Are ya kidding?

With the price of oil what it is?

How much is THAT bring in for them?

I know for sure obama funded the mullahs

But so far its just a rumor that trump is considering the same mistake

And anyway didnt bomb the white house when obama was president and I’m going to do so with trump either

So what are you expecting from me?

 

[Winston]

Look it up Cheterfield breath. They held the original money. Then brainchild Obiden decided to figure the interest to ensure they weren't cheated. BoardSwine always wrong. I lived it carrot nose.


Yes, the $1.7 billion cash payment to Iran in 2016 included approximately $1.3 billion in interest on a decades-old debt, in addition to $400 million in principal

You are so ignorant. Obama didn't calculate the interest. I mean have you ever heard of the Algier's Accords of 1981?

 

[leftwinger]

Bottom line: They paid the interest. Of course he didnt figure payment, not capable.

org Point was he paid it. Not his money what does he care?

You just spin and try to trap. Not worthy twisting posts and spinning. I'm out.

 

[Stann]

The US is giving $6B to Iran? Where is the right wing outrage that was so miffed about a $1.6B payment the international courts ordered. This is a bribe to open the straits. We are now negotiating with terrorists. This hasnt been confirmed yet. But how can we tell with Trump changing his tune ever 5 minutes?

Exclusive: Iranian source says US has agreed to unfreeze Iranian funds

DUBAI, April 11 (Reuters) - A senior Iranian source said on Saturday the U.S. had agreed to release Iranian frozen assets held in Qatar and other foreign banks.

The senior Iranian ‌source welcomed the purported U.S. move as a sign of "seriousness" in reaching a deal with Washington in talks in Islamabad. The source said it was one of Iran's demands "in messages conveyed to the U.S. side" and that Tehran had received a U.S. agreement to release the assets.

Trump is giving Iran 6 billion of our money ?

There is no spin. Just facts. Yes, 400 million. It was Iran's money. I believe it was deposited in 1978. Carter froze Iran's assets in the US. From my understanding the 400 million was deposited with the New York Federal Reserve. As part of the hostage negotiations the Algier's Accords were signed, that included the unfreezing of those assets, elimination of all lawsuits against Iran in US courts, and a promise that the Shah, nor any members of his family, would receive anything.

There were years of litigation. Here is good, accurate, explanation.

The $400 million payment to Iran was American diplomacy at its finest | Stanford Law School

The latest victim in the presidential race’s assault on truth — to say nothing of nuance — came last week in the flurry of accusations surroundi

The $400 million itself was the balance in a “trust fund” account into which Iran, under the shah, had made advance payments on military contracts with the United States. In a claim before the tribunal, Iran had demanded return of these funds plus 35 years of accumulated interest. U.S. diplomats negotiated the interest amount down to $1.3 billion (much less than they feared the tribunal would award if the case proceeded to a final judgment) to generate a $1.7 billion total.

They owe Trillions from Downing Civilian aircraft, ships and murdering 250 US soldiers in a hotel. Obiden should have told them he's applying it to their tab. Terrorist to be paid? You can't be serious.

You do.realize you're talking about history. You can't undo history. That was a done deal and it was heralded as a triumph at the time.

 

[Hollie]

Only Trump could lose to a country that doesn't have a functioning Army or Navy.

Only the far left could imagine that the US lost to your hero mullocrats. How many of your hero mullocrats are still breathing?

Everyone praised it at the time and Iran kept their word and didn't do not enrich uranium until trump left the pact. It's like they knew him better than you guys do.

I remember 1979. We were a lot more cohesive nation then during times of peril. Whatever the Shaw was, the Ayatollah's are far worse. Whether this attack was justified or not we did it. To me, the Republican Party is on the clock. If they are demolished in November, then they did it to themselves. And it is difficult to forgive. This has nothing to do about you. You are extreme radicals. And you think destroying the middle-class nuclear family is a good thing. It is cheaper to keep a family together. And you made it easier to have one parent families. The costs of servicing this is in the stratosphere. And you think it is someone else's fault if there are not enough resources allocated for it. You caused it. And you also lowered the real production of what our citizens produce over the last half century or so as the taxes are massive. The younger generation cannot even afford to purchase homes now as we get poorer in real ways. The wealth is not even. And it is not just the rich. Much of the older generation from 1946 to 1964 with privileged employment are living the golden life. So, remove some of it from them in a graduated tax way. Get your slide rules and pencils out and figure the computations. And yeah, I do not trust Iran as this has been going on too long. Soe politicians would have explained the situation in a long drawn out backing of the nation if there were no questions.

I just lived and worked my whole life. I didn't create any of these problems. It wasn't a big problem until trump entered the picture. And if he settles this war the way he gave everything to the Taliban in Afghanistan , leaving the Afghan people who were our allies high and dry then we are in more trouble , not less. That's about as weak and foolish as it gets.
