This was very well executed sir. For years I had to listen to the MAGA folks tell me that Obama had given billions to terrorists in Iran, can’t wait to hear the spin on this.


Don't forget, that funded October 7, too, because they could use the $1.7B to pay for normal government/public functions and divert public money to terrorism.

Trump didn't either he actually took the foot off Iran's throat for some bizarre reason(s). Iran controls the straight so no, we didn't "bomb them into last century". Some of you need to learn to math. 1.7 Billion is a pittance compared to the 'deal' Trump is trying to orchestrate.


Here’s some math
Trump did over $250BB worth of damage to Iran.
Iran is still $230BB in the hole.
Cmon man this isn’t that hard.

It's sad that we can't have an honest discussion on this board about this topic because it is one of the more interesting Flash Points.

Instead we get these ridiculous attempts to posture towards goal posts that are moving so fast you can't even see them.

How far in the hole will they be after Rubio's travel through the Gulf States lobbying for $300B in reconstruction funding?

I haven’t seen any reports of that. Seems like irrelevant, as you would say, since you you haven’t supplied evidence

So is Trump buying Iran weapons or not?

Well, he’s not buying them, but he’s allowing Iran to buy them, because the money IS fungible.

It's the irrationality of in/out group dynamics, amplified by extreme polarity.

You can't start the real conversation because the group who is now being exposed as a hypocrite has to try to re-frame it to protect their in-group, which makes a deep, rational conversational impossible b/c the facts underlying the conversation can't be agreed upon.

That we are going to facilitate a repayment to 'fix'.

Get this through your pea sized partisan brain: it was bad when Obama released the 1.7 Billion and its bad now that Trump is doing the same only on a higher level of the scale. We shouldn't be giving or helping Iran with anything, In fact, we never should have gotten into this mess in the first place. Iran is Israel and the Middle East's problem not ours.

I fail to see how bombing the shite out of the Ayatollah and it's Muslim counterparts as a losing situation.

Sorry we didn't send our sons and daughters to die in that wasteland so you can feel like winning?

You're conflating being unsourced with relevance.

It's highly relevant.

Thank you for your honesty at least.

And the global hegemony of the last 75 years can be tranced in part to rebuilding countries we just a short while ago were bombing this shite out of. This isn’t a new theory.

Which examples of this had the fanatical regime remain in place as part of the rebuilding?

Not Germany or Japan, for example.

We tried to change regimes in Iraq and Afghanistan....we just failed after 10-20 years.

I don't believe the IRGC but I don't believe anything Trump says anymore. This is what happens when you lie constantly about shite.

Anyways 2.5 more years of this orange buffoon and we can move on with JDV.

The TD Poli board… where Bloomberg is fake news and some incel in a basement posting as “libsgonewild” on X is 100% legit.


Sorry you don't like breaking news. Go back to your legacy media sites while we learn the truth here. I bet you never even knew about the great Brazilian military coup of 2022 dod you progstain? Thankfully, we had @pepedentromeucu to tell us what was really happening.
