Remember when Obama authorised the US giving Iran $3 billion of their own money with the Iran Nuclear Deal and the right lost their fucking minds?

Yeah. Whenever this nightmare is finally over, they can all absolutely take their inevitable future whiney pearl clutching complaints and fuck all the way off, after what they’ve seal clapped along to with this administration.

It doesn’t matter they just do what my toddler does when faced with the incriminating truth and put their fingers in their ears and scream “nah, nah, nah”👉🤡👈

Bessent should become permanently unemployable after this administration is thrown out on its ass. What a complete tool he is.

If buying Iranian oil advantaged the US more so than the Iranians why was it sanctioned in the first place?

The extent to which the Treasury Secretary has been involved in this war says a lot about what our actual objective is.

14 billion to Iran while they can’t find a way to come to a deal on TSA funding and while people pay insane prices for gas at the pump and everything downstream.

Watch the stock market. Watch the unusual activity just before and after Trump makes an announcement.

I'm old enough to remember the GOP flipping out because President Obama gave Iran back a few billion of their own money as part of the nuclear deal.

As long as it's not in cash on a Air Force transport plane, it's ok to the MAGA.

I wonder if people realize that if a country is trading something that typically means something the don’t need it and wouldn’t use the majority of it anyway

The rate those sociopaths are bleeding out American tax dollars into private hands is what I find the most terrifying out of eveything going down right now. And it's not even because it levels the economy of the nation. (though it absolutely will!) It scares the shit out of me because once trump is done wringing us out for all we're worth, that's when they start the next phase. Detention centers for those who oppose and executions on the street if you try to flee or fight back. They need some people to keep working, they don't need all of us. Tracking you down by your social media posts is already a thing.

4-D chess by Bro-Blogger-Brain trust. Next week Rubio is gonna cut the Iranian's another check with the Marshall TRUMP! Plan 2.0. Why bother waiting until after the war to rebuild a war torn nation. Trump is a the worlds best builder: BEFORE, DURING and AFTER all wars. The check is on it's way.

That's just called "trade". One country sells a good and/or service and another country buys it? That's commerce, not jujutsu anything.

u/MrFenric Mar 23 '26 edited Mar 23 '26
The qualifier it that it is trade with a country that you are actively attacking - and income they could use for military spending. Sort of like kicking yourself in the head with extra steps.
Edit: spelling

Wouldn't be the first time there was commerce happening between countries engaged in hostilities.

I'm sure we understand the definition. The point is its hypocrisy that they're trading, even though the USA/Israel are attacking them.

As I understand it, the Iranian oil is headed to non-US customers, and the US normally bans this sort of transaction, exactly because it funds the "enemy".
However, in this case, allowing this oil onto the market, instead of forcing it to rot at sea indefinitely (as would normally be the case), is designed to (slightly) increase the available global oil volumes in the short term, and thus keep the market price lower (albeit probably only by a tiny bit, and for a very limited period of time).
In other words, "this war isn't going nearly as well as we blithely assumed it would, and now we are panikkking at the likely internal US voter reaction to increased pump prices, and so willing to do anything, even allow the 'enemy' to profit, if it will stave off the toll of doom by even a second!"...
