What a strange, strange dance they're doing.

[struth]

Why is Trump considering releasing funds? I don’t see a regime change.

I have no idea of the ends and outs of the talks they are having. Do you? Why shouldn't he consider it?

Just wondering why Obama releasing funds is bad, but Trump doing it is OK. Sounds fishy.

As mentioned, the issue I had with Obama was he gave them money that wasn't their money....moreover, he did it for hostages. I am happy we got hostages released, but it set a message that the US will pay for hostages

Does that answer your question?

He unfroze their money. Get your facts straight.

 

[struth]

He may have, but I am referring specifically to the cash that belonged to the Imperial State of Iran, that no longer exist.

 

[berg80]

You’re lying. Obama released frozen Iranian funds.

I'm not so sure he's lying. Quite a lot of false statements made by trumples comes for them being misinformed by right wing media and not having the intellectual curiosity to find out if what they have been told is true. Once these false beliefs are adopted in to their accepted world view they are virtually impossible to root out.

 

[pknopp]

Um, we're one of the warmongers...

Absolutely. We are the chief war monger.

 

[pknopp]

Why aren't you pointing to the warmongers in Iran?... why just the west?....

What Iran does is none of my business. Iran isn't doing squat to us if we were minding our own business.

 

[konradv]

So what? Sounds like MAGA double talk.

But he’s doing a two-step by claiming it was Iranian imperial funds, as if that makes a difference.

what do you mean so what? You asked what the issue was, my issue was Obama giving them cash that was not their cash

It's not the same as unfreezing funds in their bank account.

President Donald Trump officially informed Congress that the war in Iran is "terminated," arguing that an ongoing ceasefire successfully paused hostilities and reset a 60-day legal clock under the 1973 War Powers Resolution. However, this declaration largely serves to bypass Congressional authorization, as the actual conflict remains unresolved.

What an unfortunate time to have the orange buffoon in a position to take down the global economy. Like Shrub did during the financial crisis.

This little tit tat with Iran is nothing compared to what's coming with the data centers that he's pushing. Thats what needs to be stopped.

That’s like saying Confederate funds were unfrozen. Take it to the History forum.

It's standard practice for trumples to do the cockroach dance after their misinformation has been exposed. They scurry around, looking for dark places to hide from the facts.

huh? the Confederacy wasn't a country....the Imperial State of Iran was.

 

[berg80]

He's not going to stop them. Their buildout is the primary driver of the economy.

Think of it this way. During Shrub's presidency the housing boom was the #1 driver of the economy. He not only didn't stop it, he fanned the flames by promoting home ownership while encouraging mortgage companies to come up creative financing so folks with low credit scores could still get a mortgage.

Fact Sheet: America's Ownership Society: Expanding Opportunities

Data centers are Dontard's golden goose. He's not going to do anything consequential to slow them down.

 

[Nostra]

I'd love to see a virus set loose that only takes out the war mongers.

A virus does not have critical thinking skills, like you.

 

[jacksonlamb]

I knocked Obama for giving them cash that wasn't there cash

Prove that. You can't.

 

[struth]

Prove that. You can't.

This is what the Obama admin said: Cash Transfer to Iran

Lisa Grosh, a legal advisor for the Department of State, testified before Congress that the $1.7 billion wascomprised of $400 million that Iran had placed in a U.S. Foreign Military Sales trust fund and $1.3 billion ininterest


The 400 million was from the Imperial State of Iran, for jets they were purchasing prior to 1979

That money was theirs that we had confiscated.

We gave them none of our own.
