    They cried when Obama let Iran have 1.7B.

    They just gave Iran 300B.

    Fucking clown show.🤡

      That $1.7B was a release of money that already belonged to Iran. The $300B is a straight up payout from US and other taxpayers. And we’re also giving them back $25B we withheld as part of the war effort.

      I’m guessing the Russian oil sanctions we lifted because of the closure of the strait are just going to fade away as if it was never that big of a deal to begin with.

      That said, when Americans start to complain about the 300B payout, I’m curious what is the next distraction that Trump will pull.
