Just like with everything else, his Art of the Deal leaves us with less than what we had before.

      • Americans will be bankrupted by the Iran Deal

      • Iranians are stupid if they think the Americans will pay what they agree

      Somehow these are two bad things that we’re supposed to juggle in our heads simulateously.

      Where is the American liberal out saying “Holy fuck, we were wrong to attack and Iran deserves far more than the pittance Trump is offering”? Where is the American liberal saying “The Federal government should not continue to be allowed to welch on it’s debts to the people it has wronged. We must hold future administrations to the task of reparations we’ve agreed to today”?

      Instead, it’s just a litany of “Trump Bad! Trump Bad!” as though the rest of the federal system wasn’t rubber stamping this Holocaust from day one.

    So the IRGC and the Islamic Republic are still in place, and not only that, America is paying them to stay in place. Properly worst of both worlds lol.

      Unfortunately they won’t care about the $300 billion at all, because it’ll never appear on Fox News or their safe spaces on social media. At most they’ve already signaled it will be completely lied about as an “investment fund” that will imply some value in return without promising, follow-up or accountability.

      For reparations NOW. That’s IF we stop bombing them NOW. THIS price will only go UP.

    Vice President JD Vance all but confirmed a detail being floated as part of the tentative U.S.-Iran peace deal: Iranian access to $300 billion in reconstruction funds.

    “That’s the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf coast coalition, so long as they honor their end of the obligation,” Vance said.

    And Mexico the Gulf coast will pay for it!

    Been saying since the start: Iran is in on all this.

    Edit: Okay, clearly many of you have not thought this through:

    • IRGC Coup – The IRGC has LONG been wanting to make a move over the Ayatollah. Now the new Ayatollah is a sockpuppet and the IRGC has completely taken over by way of coup.

    • Quelled Civil Unrest – Prior to this conflict, civil unrest in Iran was heavily mounting. Thousands upon thousands out on the street. Now Iranian dissidents hopeful for being rescued were baited out of their homes, only to be slaughtered the first time Trump left them hanging, and the second time Israel and USA suddenly became the new threat and rallied the masses around while also indicating nobody was actually coming to save them from the tyranny within.

    • New Cashflow – Not only has this massively benefitted Russia with lifted oil sanctions, the IRGC got a massive injection into their own economy, both with the new toll system but also the literal cited fucking article above.

    I stand by what I said Iran was in on it.

      Everything is a conspiracy when you’re dumb as rocks.

      The Iranians closed one of the most important trade routes for several months and then bombed US bases, destroyed aircraft, and deployed drones while holding position. They used a strategic advantage and decades of preparation to cow down a world empire.

      In a month we will be feeling this conflict even worse because of the delay in oil production - we’ve been drawing from established strategic supplies that we spent years filling and rotating - and having to buy in a world that’s producing less.
