Buying Uranium at a deep discount doesn't sound like a bad idea.

That’s a lot of money to rebuild their capabilities.

Was this Barak Hussein’s idea?

Can you elaborate on this please? Serious question.


Im not one of the oil baws but from what I have read. Iran cant get oil out and they cant get empty tankers in. They have about 10 days before all available storage will be full.

At that point they would have to shut down wells. With no pressure the oil seeps into the rock and is not recoverable, at least not in a monetarily feasible sense.

But not the whole well just 10% of the oil and it increases the longer the well is left idle.

How did you interpret unfreezing their own assets as us giving them money?

If the Jihadists get the money, hard no. If it goes to the people via rebuilding infrastructure then happily so.

Trump will make sure that money gets spent with American Businesses on infrastructure that benefits America.

Well Hillary and Obama did Uranium One.

Uranium has a market value. We can build missiles out of it and aim them at Iran.

Also I think we are unfreezing assets, so we are buying it with their own money.

But when Obama unfroze their assets 10+ years ago

First, you are mixing metaphors. Obama paid Iran pallets of cash and a $1.7Billion total to settle a dispute whereby Iran had paid the US $400M for weapons in 1979, but after the Iranian revolution, the US never provided the weapons.

There were a half-dozen ways around that issue, not the least of which is the owed counterparty no longer existed.

Instead, Obama decided to pay not just "the frozen asset" at $400M, but also an additional $1.3B in interest.



And never forget:

Obama said - "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction"

If you need an example of people not doing the smart thing until after damage is inflicted upon them, see Japan

"This is exactly what Obama and Biden did. So narrative changes."


what obama and biden did = enter into a bullshite agreement and "give them money".

what Trump did = destroy 40 years of military offensive and defensive capabilities of one of the most evil regimes of the last 100 years who were developing material specifically to use as a weapon (which they lied to Obama and the world about).

Negotiated the return of the weapons grade uranium with an ability to verify.

Release of funds pending return and verification.

But yeah, tomato, tomatoe........

You tell me, what do you think?

You think giving them billions in exchange for the uranium is better than just giving them billions?

Just trying to keep up here....

Probably because they wouldn't have agreed to it until we blew them the frick to pieces and pinned them in a corner like they are in now. That's how leverage works.


That's exactly why. They had to test Trump's resolve first and FAFO happened.

We are not giving them our money. It's Iranian funds that we had frozen. Cry more though.


But why?

If we’ve truly decimated them what’s the point?

This is Obama foreign policy.

new talking point email alert.....

Ignore all the logic being presented to the contrary. Just continue to repeat:

1) we are right back to where we started.
2) this is just what Obama did.

Turns out, there was no offer to release money to Iran for uranium.
