I’m not sure of the details, but I would be shocked if The Trumpster got out-negotiated on ANY deal, including this one.

Was it a whole week back that king retard and the free bleeders were crying about the cost of the war?

No, it was still going on today.

I dont think Trump knows shite about "The Art of the Deal". I think it was just a challenge for him, and so far, he lost. I hope he changes his mind in the next 60 days.

Blow them up, pay for the repairs, blow up repairs, then pay for new repairs and…. Blow those up too?

What’s the point? What are we even trying to accomplish?

I can’t imagine any of these countries willingly paying any of this reparation. Iran is supposed to be on their knees!

questions-
What is the incentive for anyone to pay the reparations?
Who will do the rebuilding in Iran?
Who will oversea any negotiations for this money?
Who controls this reparation money?
Who determines what gets paid for reparations?
What happens if Iran doesnt follow through? (More money?)


And I want to see how much Israel is paying of this $300bil

Irans reason for wanted a nuclear weapon is to obliterate Israel. They’re the center of all of this.

We have already paid enough in lives, weapons and economic impact.

Still struggling to understand why any money is being paid to Iran!

how about providing a one word description of the motivation behind all the Obama, Biden, Clinton initiatives during the past two decades.

During which time Iran supported terrorist groups all across the Middle East, increased their lockdown on their citizenry, and became a week away from developing a nuclear weapon.

Because when you aren’t retarded, you can clearly see that becoming business partners unites the region.

The incentive is there for Iran to become normal. If they don’t, we blow them up again.

It’s pretty easy to understand. Don’t know why the tards on this board insist on spewing the MSM talking points


I hear ya man! It's frustrating. I see the questions being asked about this topic day after day and the explanations given.
Some are bots and some are simply idiots.

How is that relevant to the discussion about this specific deal?

Why are you unable to discuss this on its own merits? Why the knee-jerk whataboutism?

You describe people asking a legitimate question that you refuse to answer as “tards”.

Here’s your chance: why was Obama giving these terrorists 1.7B in cash “very bad very bad”, while Trump handing over 300B brilliant? I ask, because the only thing I see that we get is a promise by terrorists not to keep enriching material to build a bomb, when we know terrorists will just try to buy enriched material going forward

There is some team-based psychology going around.

First, there is a lot of liberal-esque optimism thinking this is the time that Iran finally changes, despite the 50+ years of data to show this radical regime will never change. This is the whole " becoming business partners unites the region" hopium. Theoretically possible? Yes. Likely? No. The irony is this exact same type of hopium (that Iran was changed) was behind Obama's deal, and it caused melts and rejection by the very same people promoting it today.

This leads to the second factor, which is the belief that the US broke Iran via our war, which is silly, given the totality (and looking at how favorable the deal is for Iran).

Other than the irrational (until proven otherwise) hope that the fanatical Islamist regime has done a 180, the other issue within the "we'll bomb them again" sphere is that this $300B will be loaned/invested by countries who have shown they are completely impotent in dealing with Iran militarily even AFTER the US took out much of it with initial bombings. They have no valid mechanism to enforce an agreement against Iran if Iran breaks the deal, and the major risk is the money they give will be spent by Iran if this comes to pass. EXTREMELY favorable situation for Iran.

LOTS of liberal-esque hope going on
