I punched the question into Grok, and essentially explained how it wasn’t true at all. He pulled up a USA Today article that explained how Trump gave them $300 billion and made a point to talk about how Trump mocked Obama for giving them money.

I honestly have not been paying close attention to this conflict and its aftermath. But just know the lib and his media sources are full of shite

It doesn’t matter what you tell him or show him. He’ll never believe it.

You’ll have better success at convincing your car of the truth than your Lib relative. Confirmation Bias and Cognitive Dissonance are very real. Make your case once and let it go.

Some people can view a sunset and tear up, while others standing be used the will wonder wtf. Perception is Reality. God lets us turn His Universe into ours.

“Above all, to thine own self be true”. Delusion stalks us like a predator. It’s all coming out in the wash.

“ "You're wrong" (Quote).

Honestly, B, given that we live in a pseudo-Democratic government, we are responsible as a civic duty to bear witness to what we believe to be true. Such that people can vote with an educated choice. And for Christians as well. That is a requirement for both worldly and spiritual prosperity. IMHO.

And I need to proofread my post before hitting submit. Big thumbs little keyboard and a phone with a ‘mind’ of its own.

Tell him we haven’t given it to them yet but Iran will eventually be getting money that we are absolutely facilitating to happen.

Private investment from its neighbors that is subject to conditions.

You can keep telling yourself that if you want. That doesn’t include the money we are releasing to them that has been held. Imagine thinking Iran is actually going to adhere to any conditions

Tell him you’d love to agree with him but then you’d both be wrong

Your punch should have been to your relative for being so dumb.

You can't tell these sheep anything, they are glued to MSNDC and CNN all day getting their talking points.

Ask relative to define what a woman is?

It won't matter what you tell a lib. I wouldn't bother with it. You can give them a cookie or something.

Nothing. You avoid this demon like the plague and keep others close to you away from them as well. Thank them for letting you know what they are and keep them out of your circle. They destroy everything in their paths, family relationships included.

So 2 wrongs make a right? I get that the current $300 billion is supposed come from an international coalition, but the fact remains, that money gift is in the MOU that Trump signed. The IRGC will gladly take it and rebuild…their defenses.
