300 Billion for nothing other than paying the Military industrial complex.
Man who would have thought that the most incompetent and unqualified demented rapist to ever hold the office would be played like a fucking fiddle.
he is the only idiot out of all the surviving US presidents to agree to Netanyahu’s idea of bombing Iran
Don't forget, this war was very likely initiated by Netanyahu. All they managed to do was make Iran stronger, what a bunch of fucking morons.
Netanyahu is not a moron, making Iran weaker wasn't his goal. Forever war was, to have a foil to play for domestic political purposes.
Not to mention Gaza and the West Bank has been out of the news cycle. The colonists have been doing some heinous shit since the war happened.
No, that wasn't the only outcome. Iran got richer and the world got to see that the military might of the USA is much less mighty than they want the world to know.
Unfortunately no, that's not their sole achievement.
Israel has occupied territories in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Irak. And will likely annex some areas excusing it with ,,national security interests". In reality the greater aim seem to be ,,greater israel" which covers the whole are promised to them in some obscure book.
They managed to ramp up military/weapons spending in the US and Europe, and massively boosted the price of oil. The idea that Trump lost is naive in my opinion, this was a big cash grab just like Venezuela was and certain people will have profited massively from it.
Is Iran stronger? How so?
Besides the other replies, Iran has achieved a huge PR coup by revealing that the US is a paper tiger. The popularity of the US among western countries has never been lower because Trump’s Blunder pooched the global economy. Former allies are walking away from economic and military cooperation with the US.
Additionally, the US has to pay Iran 300B in war reparations as part of their surrender. The iranian regime will probably divert those funds to entrench their power.
The moderate voices in its government were purged or killed, the popular protests against the hard-line Islamists have been crushed and sidelined, there's a (tiny, but unprecedented) wedge driven between the U.S. and Israeli leaders, Israel has lost popular support in much of the West, and its ability to put a chokehold on the world economy via the Strait of Hormuz has been demonstrated without any tangible contest.
Iran learned they can topple any US government with restrictions on oil. Who needs nukes when you have thirsty brahs in Silverados.
They're politically stronger now.
they proved they could stand up to the US and win. US proved, again, that bombing countries accomplishes nothing.
America has lost its war with reality! The morons are winning with stupidity.
America has also somehow lost its war with the confederacy and the nazis.
However, it is winning its wars against health and a habitable planet.
No we didn't! Didn't you hear we're going to pay them to put things the way they used to be before the war? And then we are going to negotiate how much each ship should pay to get thru? It's going to be so cheap! Like 800% cheaper! Or 530% or 50% or 1200%! It will be very much more inexpensive than it was before! And then we'll negotiate how much to pay them to not continue making nuklier materials too fast but faster than before. But it will be slow. They can't have a niklier ex-ploding thing because we'll buy it from them! We'll be making 🤑 money! Money! Money! Just gotta pay them first and then we gotta sell product. Everyone will be selling nuklier! Your kid, their kid, and the neighbors, everyone. We'll make money! This kid says to me. He says. Crying. He says. Sir, can I buy nuklier? No! You'll get niklier! Crying. The kid. I says. No! You'll get niklier! In a week or two! Two at most. Maybe even in just a few minutes. Who knows, we'll see. You know what I mean? I don't.
I wonder if his base has figured any of this out yet.
Someone needs to explain this to them: they were told to be endlessly enraged about 1.7 billion and something something Obama (known for Presidenting while being black, which is a crime in itself of course).
First they probably need to be told that 300 is greater than 1.7, and that 1.7 goes into 300 many many times over. Just over 176 times.
That is not a better "deal" than what we had under Obama.
Obama unfroze around 100 billion in his deal
The war isn't over, not by a long shot. Memorandums of understanding on negotiating terms notwithstanding.
Israel will blow it up, and the US and Israel have such maximaist demands Iran will never agree to them. Israel also doesn't care about those demands so much as want continued war and to turn lebanon into gaza for domestic political reasons. I wouldn't expect any new Israeli government to be much better either.
This should be higher. There's no reason for Israel to stop annexing Lebanon and bulldozing Gaza.
