Would not be surprised if that was really the case. It would be a typical Donal Trump Success(tm).

More foreign infrastructure development than USAID did per year, globally. So, I guess we can laugh at the idiots in DOGE for a new reason.

This can't be right.

While I don't doubt it to be true, I'd really love a better source than "trust me bro" on Twitter.

It's been a messy process, but that 300B number is something that's been floating around.

Whether or not it pans out remains to be seen.

Trump reneges on his 'allies' I can't imagine Iran would see a penny. Then again they gave Argentina billions for nothing so who knows.

It's really dishonest to describe the un-freezing of funds and sanctions relief as "giving" Iran money.

It's no wonder that the Obama and Trump deals would be similar, since it's the same countries, with the same leverage, and all the same goals.

We shouldn't adopt the language of people who believe diplomacy is worthless. Instead we should be pointing out that the bombs and missiles didn't seem to help much.

It also kept the Epstein files distracted for a bit.
And if I were an old, obese, orange painted, narcissistic, child rapist who was trying to cover up the decades of raping kiddies then I'd say spending 300 bill of other people's money was a steal.

Maybe those MIA soldiers realized it's all for show and dipped to live authentically.

There's been inside rumors that the Pentagon, in traditional fashion, has been listing KIAs as MIA to reduce reported deaths.
