    The craziest thing about this is that trump used to call obama a terrorist for making a deal with iran that involved $150 billion. He used that number a lot during his campaign for president.

    If you have a strong imagination you could picture an economic system with an interest group invested in perpetual war.

      Clear enemies are the least to fear. Be wary of those that, like foxes, pretend to be allies so you trust them and stop fighting.

        Not sure foxes are the best metaphor. They’re not particularly friendly in my experience.

        They never come say hello, they want to eat my chickens and always run away when I approach.

        Their pups sure are cute though!

    Edit: wrong… As far as I know this is Iran’s money that was frozen and the US is just going to allow them to access it

    It’s funny watching Americans find out that you might have to pay reparations when you lose a war. Surprised Pikachu.
