All there is to say about that is: Fuck the US.

DS. Nothing united about that "thing" anymore. Magastan, if you will.

  1. Iran isn't trading for that $300b. That's restitution for bombing the hell out of the people and country.
  2. Vance is trying to foist that repayment onto "Gulf states" so America can skate.

I'm out of the loop, is the US paying Iran war reparations now? 🤣 Fart of the deal

[–] Steve@startrek.website 17 points 2 months ago

That is one of the terms of America’s surrender, yes.

Well them and the Gulf States, but assuming the deal holds yes.

Hahaha that really sucks to be a middle eastern ally of the yanks.

Honestly, countries need to consider that country as an enemy at this point. Shit like this, actively trying to undermine European democracy are not the actions of a friend.

The USA has got to be the single dumbest nation on this planet. Like it isn't even remotely close.

The US is the world's largest pyramid scheme.

I can't help but keep thinking it started with a request for a letter of apology. Every deal after that has just been better.

Good for Iran. Someone's gotta stand up to the bully.

[–] adarza@piefed.ca 3 points 2 months ago

i dunno.. the vikings trade for herschel walker still has to rank way tf up there.

Hate to be a buzzkill but I believe lifting oil sanctions on Iran will mean cheaper oil prices once supply catches up to demand. But that’s assuming no OPEC fuckery

Edit: don’t understand the downvotes as I am being genuine, if I’m wrong please do inform me.

As we all know, the US hates it when Oil is valuable.

No? You get lower gas prices for the 300 billion (and the rest of the deal). The war brought the higher gas prices.
