You trust Trump? You are not just naive you are conscientiously stupid. I think I would trust the UN to do the right thing before trusting Trump or the GOP to do the right thing.Oh....you trust the UN???Oh.......that was a transfer......NOT SPENDING. If the country is in debt where do you think those billions came from?????
*Look in the mirror* Hint Hint*
The 1.7 billion in question came from Iran as payment for services or military hardware that was never delivered. In any event, the transferred funds are not taxpayer's money and do not effect the national debt. But here is the kicker. UN member nations still control more than 100 billion of Iranian assets. Should they renege on the Obama deal they will never see any of it. And, the concessions Iran agreed to in the deal were
satisfactory to the UN members whose countries are in close proximity to Iran.
Permission from Congress was obviously not necessary in returning assets to a foreign entity. The funds were not US property. Obama operated within the purview of the UN whereas he legally, and deftly, sidestepped a hostile obstructionist RW Congress. Brilliant!Congress didn't authorize it. Period. It funded terrorism for years. Iran was able to buy some really expensive weapons with those billions that you and I paid for, and are currently paying interest on.
God hates a liar and thief (Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, Hillary & Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren, Dingy Harry Reid, The DNC, Debra Blabbermouth Schultz, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and the rest of the corrupt media)
So......just sayin....
You forgot the Liar In Chief: Donald J. Trump.
He and his populist constituents make lying a pernicious art form.
You sure are naive.
I worked with the UN back in 93 in Somalia under UNISOM. I wouldn't trust those idiots to do the right thing if YOUR life depended on it, much less mine. My guess is the $160 billion that Iran got from us was the UN funds. BTW, where do you think the UN got that money from? They sure as hell didn't get it from any Arab countries. It came from the US Treasury. The UN is located in NYC. We pay most of the rent to allow those bastards to vote against us on every issue.
Once again.....you must be a Dimocrap, because you never learn from history and you're too easily misled. Iranians broke into our embassy, took our people hostage, and have been killing our people since 1978. What makes you feel they deserve to be paid for killing thousands of our soldiers?
You worked with the UN back in1993? Hmmmm I guess back then they were idiots to have accepted the likes of you into their ranks. Hopefully, they have recovered from your presence by now.
Where did you get that 160 billion figure, snowflake? I've seen references to sums between 400 million and 1.9 billion in unfrozen assets but nothing close to160 billion. Total assets frozen by UN members might approach that figure but most of those funds are frozen for reasons not connected to the Iranian nuclear program. Iran won't be able to access that money.
You contend that Iran has been hostile to the USA since, presumably, the Shah was ousted. That might be true considering the Shah was little more than a tyrannical US patsy. That would certainly be a prime cause of disaffection towards the USA by those who forced his abdication.
But I am afraid you don't understand the
dynamics of the Iranian revolution. The takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran(1979) was not a government venture. Students did that. I am not sure a government existed at that point in time.
Consider too that Iranians have not forgotten how the CIA reinstalled the estranged Iranian monarch in1953 after that tyrant was forced to abdicate.
But the Iranian government has not yet been proven to have terrorist connections to a few Iranian radicals operating independently of the government. You can't pin any killings done by radicals on the government but I knew you would try.
