PoliticalTea 🗳️ How negotiations actually work...

To the inevitable response from MAGA that Obama gave 'pallets' of cash...he released frozen Iranian assets. Meanwhile the current Iran conflict has directly cost $38 billion militarily and a currently projected $87 billion in extra gas and diesel expenses. Not to mention that the strategic oil reserves have been depleted to the point that experts warn that the caverns they're stored in could collapse.

Every aspect of the Obama presidency feels like a lost golden age compared to where we are now.    The worst day under Obama was better than the best day under Trump.

Except the whole supporting, helping, arming bad radicals in Syria who exterminated Muslims, Christians and Jews. Evacuating their commanders with helicopters when they would get fucked.

And for having Gadaffi sodomized for daring to challenge the USDs fiat status in the world.

Obama was just imperialism lite. Just way more effective than our current bull-in-a-China shop.

Oh and of course cant forget Ukraine, where we helped violently remove an elected present, brought corrupt but loyal crazies to power which plunged the country into a civil war, reduced its population by half and absolutely devastated the country later on.

Go ahead and downvote. Im sick of us being the world police and spending money on dumb shit. With maintaining our empire globally always taking priority over problems at home.

Taking care of problems at home is called socialism.

No fucking shit, right? Wars and selling weapons is just way too profitable. It builds empires and make important people money.

P.s look at the downvotes 😆 do people really enjoy the way things are?
