streamofthesky posted... There's been articles about negotiating the $6 billion since at least August, which means behind closed doors Iran's had months to plan on it.
The Biden admin says the money can only be used for food/medical stuff, but how is that being monitored/verified? And even if Iran were being honest about how the money is used, like the reporter said, money is fungible. Lets them shift more money to supplying Hamas.
Iran is a terrorist state and heavily sanctioned for good reason. So yes, it's "their money" in the same sense as when a bank like UBS has billions in penalties levied against it for financing drug cartels, it's technically "their money".
Biden deserves it. He fucked up royally here. I don't agree with the false claims that it was US taxpayer money, and think those lies will just open up Republicans to looking like clowns (as always). But you're fucking naive at best (pretending to be, at worst) if you think releasing $6 billion to Iran wasn't a colossal fuck up.
You know, on the subject of Biden foreign policy fuck ups...what's the legendary arms dealer known as "The Lord of War" been up to since Biden released him from prison?
You're purposely missing the point of the Iran Deal, what it would do, and what kinds of outcomes it would have.
