Where are all the maga trolls who incorrectly stated over and over that Obama "gave" Iran their money? It was what, 6% of that amount? I know it was Iran's money, like 4.7 billion, but the misinformation... Will hear crickets about this

Israel is gonna fuck this into nothing by Wednesday. It will all be canceled and we'll be back to threatening strikes before market close Friday. New peace deal by Monday at 759AM.

But none of the money lost in this war was his. America is poorer for it, not Trump. Thanks to his shares in war industry companies, he might have actually made a profit.
rolliefingers
Wow Vance's standing lessons have really paid off! Perfectly unexpressive and motionless. Really excellent progress.
lackinglife
I'm guessing he couldn't get them to sign a nda. Considering he started the fight just to get his teeth knocked in on the world stage, he basically bent himself over the barrel for negotiations.
TheJuiceLoosener
Good. Smartest thing I've ever seen him do. We got fucking lucky.

Yeah, the brodozer crowd lost there shit about Obama paying them, when it was just releasing their own funds out of sanctions. Here, he's actively paying them with our money.

Explain that to him :) The deal is going to be so bad vs the old Obama one.

obama's deal was only ever going to give them back their own damn money... this is much fucking worse and to get here he first destroyed the world economy
supercalifragilisticexpialidociousl
Have no fear, it’s not his own money. They are just looting the Treasury of our tax money. Social programs? Rent assistance? Lower any costs? Nope! We’re paying to bribe Iran!

It’s a fancy cesse fire. The non negotiable’s of each party are incompatible. Until someone says “yes, you can have enriched uranium” or “fine, we will no longer have enriched uranium” this is just a period of repair and rearm.
delpharseven
Apparently Iran has agreed to abide by the NPT. Their nuclear weapons program was ruinously expensive, and they just learned that they can close the Strait of Hormuz. The possibility was always there, but no one was sure if it could really be done. It can be done, for a tiny fraction of the cost of nuclear weapons, and it has strategic and tactical flexibility that using nuclear weapons do not.
stayme
Thanks fat Dony
martineb72
That isn't even the worst part. Israel won't abide by any cease fire.

Cost of the war estimated at $50 Billion. Economic damage between $600 billion - $1 trillion. Payments to Iran $300 Billion. So...who won?
stayme
Gotta wonder where those war cost numbers came from, not like these ass clowns ever tell the truth
peosratta
Russia and Israel.

Israel is costing the US a lot of fucking money to be "friends"
SalmySwims

ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
How much can we trust the $50 billion figure? Has it been vetted?
Randomice
The government says 29 billion. Independent sources say it is considerably higher. Until we can get trustworthy accountants in there we won't know.

Israel, the military industrial complex, and the Trump crime family.
ThePlotSickens
This war hasn't really been a glossy brochure for the military industrial complex it's shown that it's over priced mediocrity
dohcohv
US oil companies, the group that Trump promised to make billions. Price has gone up 50% while they have had zero cost increases.
[deleted]

dohcohv
I meant oil prices which went from 60 to 90/brl for something like West Texas intermediate, most oil companies don't own the gas stations. Refiners buy oil on the market, so if prices double, their costs double, same with gas stations. The ones making bank are the ones who own the wells.
CheesecakePi
Nobody. Which was what basically everyone was able to predict from day 1. This idiotic war was a lose-lose prospect for everyone.
stayme
Except for the stock manipulations those guys won biggly
Sorrontis
no one. so many dead. so much infrastructure is fuck. US military capability diminished. stupid
Mechwarrior719
Even better. Trump probably gave China the confidence they need to invade Taiwan…
Or at least to start putting the screws to them
Sorrontis
yeah, not excited about that. My inlaws are taiwanese
Googlyeye
And dont forget increased oil prices which directly helps russia to fund its invasion.
TChallaVanDam
Especially after we lifted sanctions on Russian oil. And Iranian oil for that matter.
BiggRanger
So this little trumpian adventure cost us $350+ billion (payment to Iran and our probably way underestimated military costs), wrecked global economies, and killed countless people in Iran, American soldiers, and many people in other non involved countries. In the end we have a worse deal than Obama put together.
OnyxTurret
Don't forget how much was spent attacking Iran too.
ChopOnBrother2021
And they have 30x the money now and we’re paying for that money instead of just giving them access to their own money like under Obama.
kayakninjas
That's an entirely unfair mischaracterization. We did all that and we don't have a worse deal then the Obama one: we don't actually have a nuclear deal at all yet.
Awaras
It also made Trump and his family a whole lot richer, so there's that. And now Trump's name is on the peace deal instead of Obama, which is always a plus in his book...
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Don't forget creating famines in the global South due 3 (maybe 4) months of no fertilizer traveling through the strait. At this point it's probably too late for fertilizer to make a difference, so crop production is just gonna be scaled down. So many people are going to die because they couldn't grow enough food during the growing season.
IDontKnowWhatToDoAnymoreAndImTired
And, of course, not only do we NOT prevent any future nuclear development, we've pretty much just guaranteed and funded it. We're not going to literally be paying for Iran to develop nukes so that the US can never threaten them again.
If this is a negotiated settlement, I'd hate to see what losing looks like.
awkungen42
No, Trump is passing a 350 billion dollar bill to us so he could make $200 million on the betting site he used to scam people out of their money. He'd give us a billion dollar bill if he himself could make any amount of money.

rollotherottie
and trumpsters will say its the greatest deal.
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
Hold your horses on the criticism.
We're still waiting for Israel - the driver behind this whole mess - to agree to cease aggressions. It's entirely plausible things will continue to get worse and messier before it stabilizes in a terrible deal like this.
TheFastpaws
Israel has already said no because they are bigger pieces of shit.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Little Satan, but Great Shit.
IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
LOL, of COURSE they have. I didn't even know that when I posted the comment, I just made an educated assumption based on having a longer memory than a goldfish.
JackingMeHoff
Vance stated the $300 billion would be funded by a Gulf coast coalition, a coalition of Gulf states/countries (such as countries in the Persian Gulf region). Considering how much Vance lies this hasn't been verified nor has it been verified Trump isn't giving away our money too.
R100GSPD
Probably going to be paid by giving $500 billion to the gulf states so that they can pay $300 billion to Iran.
cabalin
Hmmm, Sounds like “Mexico will pay for the wall” doesn’t it?
BiggRanger
I have MAGA family talking about this now, unfortunately there's not much regret on thir side yet. But I've been telling them that $300B is $1000 that every American man, woman, and child will have to pay to Iran. 300 million people, $1000 each, is $300 billion.
kraeftig
Its more like $1,125 because theres only around 267m adults. Children would not be paying this amount.
khora
The statement said $300B by US and its allies.
AnalFistingPornstarLegendWolverine
The US ain't gonna have any allies if it's gonna cost them billions to be our friend.
tidepool
The Saudi’s and other oil rich countries don’t care as long as the aggression stops, especially since they buy all of their military weapons and tech from us. They throw money away like it’s water.
MeowWoof
I'm wondering how much of the $350B will end up in Trump's pocket from no bid contracts and sweetheart deals.
valen00
It's going to iran and they have him over an (oil) barrel. I don't think they will be making that heavy a use of American contractors tbh. I'm sure there's more than a little bribe money going back to trump personally, but I suspect the vast majority of that cash will be just straight up leaving and not coming back even via outrageous contracts.
BiggRanger
Hopefully Trumps pockets are securely locked away in a casket 6 feet under ground.
bakerguy1337
Still have the rest of his family.
BeachsideBarghest
Hopefully (but unlikely), they are all rounded up and eventually thrown in prison. I ain't holding my breath though.
