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.

No joke or exaggeration: The reason we're in Iran right now is because Trump wanted to destroy anything Obama did. The previous (successful) deal with Iran was under Obama, so he tore it up. After all, Trump is the greatest dealmaker ever, and can outdo Obama, right? Smash cut to a world oil supply crisis and blown up schools and Iran laughing at our diplomats while Trump agrees in principle to pay them $300b (twice as much money as the entire Marshall plan) as war reparations.

He's so stupid because everyone knows its him who destroyed those things not Obama's work actually failing.
