The military is not happy so many people are smoking weed.
@Sh0t Can you source me to why you believe they just unfroze the money? I might have been lied to.
no go for basic.
No idea on draft or how far it could escalate
Maybe I don’t research this enough
trump might get removed before then
So a draft would have to make some compromises, as they tend to do
Nah, the senate won’t remove him. I can guarantee that
it's basic to the story
so yes you were certainly lied to
Of course geopolitical rivals like Russia or China could use this as an opportunity to push their own agendas like in Eastern Europe or the South China Sea while the U.S. is busy with another conflict in the MiddleEast. Should we be worried?
```The $1.8 (actually $1.7 billion) was a debt owed to Iran, which bought military equipment from the U.S. that it never received because relations ruptured when the shah was overthrown in 1979.
```
2 seconds to find this out
so please stop
@League Of Spectroradiers Oh they're well away with that. Russia helps china circulate some of their tarriff'd goods, Putin's licking his chops at Syrian oilfields, and a pipeline through there to Europe.
(that russia controls)
and can turn off
that was the key to putin's plans
yea he's the russian kissinger
they came to 'power' same way basically
somebody read their stuff and thought they had the right idea
rockefeller in kissinger's case
putin rise more complicated but same idea
@Sh0t US assets were first frozen by U.S. president Jimmy Carter in 1979, after revolutionaries overthrew the U.S.-allied Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi's administration and took American hostages. After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, the United States ended its economic and diplomatic ties with Iran, banned Iranian oil imports and froze approximately 11 billion 1980-US dollars of its assets.
Many of the assets were then unfrozen in 1981 after the Algiers Accords were signed and the hostage crisis ended.
This doesn’t prove your point, it strengthens mine.
```When Iran signed the multinational deal to restrain its nuclear development in return for being freed from sanctions, it regained access to its own assets, which had been frozen abroad. There was no $150 billion gift from the U.S. treasury or other countries. Iran was allowed to get its money back.```
With all these new issues arising do you think Trump is ready to confront them? Can these issues be used against Trump during the election for how he reacts?
I dont think Trump cares, he is just going to do as much to hurt our position in the world as he can then defect to russia probably
Okay, thanks. This is what I wanted. Before I take this as fact, I need to fact check the fact checker, but I may believe you about this whole ordeal.
you said you were 'lied to' , why didn't you fact check it then
I said that I **may** have been lied to. I always say this when present with a contrary view that has some evidence.
On the topic of elections, do you think Trump will win another term in office, if not who do you think will surpass him during this election period.
With war in the mix, i dunno, it's a hail mary play that oftne works on Americans
The dems are going to try and push a corporate type as hard as they can, but Bernie is still doing well
Who do you support?
I'm not a dem so I have no dog in the primary, I didn't and wont be voting for Trump
of the Dems, I trust Bernie the most as somebody with integrity, which is more important than any policy squibbles
(as the missiles fall, let us remember Iraq wants US troops out)
