Macron’s $15 Billion Offer to Iran: More Than Meets The Eye?
Center for Security Policy ^ | 10 Sept 19 | Christopher Holton

Posted on 09/10/2019 8:13:52 AM PDT by LSUfan

French President Emmanuel Macron has floated the concept of essentially giving Iran $15 billion to comply with the infamous multilateral nuclear deal that the Ayatollahs have already violated.

Some observers see Macron’s proposal as a statesman-like proposal to preserve peace and avoid war. Others believe that the Macron is making an effort to rehabilitate his own image domestically in France, since that nation has been beleaguered with riots and unrest virtually since the day Macron entered office.

A third possibility exists: greed.

Well, it certainly will fit with the “theory” about him.

I’m not convinced BUT he IS from Europe, so.........

Just need him to talk about “peace and security”. Probably already has.

A fourth possibility - cowardice from a French Marxist twit.

The French Left always like to surrender. As the nun once said, “Old habits die hard”.

There’s probably some little game to the deal, where the $15 billion could only be spent by the Mullahs on French products.

Thanks LSUfan. Everyone is aware that he is a greedy scumbag, so now he isn't trying to hide it.

Won’t do a bit of good!

Iran’s “leaders” are bat-shit crazy Moslem Terrorists! They have NO respect for “other than Moslems,” and are intent on Jihad!

They will keep pushing the envelope until the West finally figures out that bombing the Ayatollahs back to the stone age is the only solution to the problem!

Don’t know what the “trigger” event will be, but if they keep pissing off their neighbors (cf Israel, Saudi Arabia, et al), the balloon is gonna pop, and it will not be pretty!
