Macron’s $15 Billion Offer to Iran: More Than Meets The Eye?

Center for Security Policy ^ | 10 Sept 19 | Christopher Holton

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.

[buckalfa]

It is all about the francs, and Macron’s ego.

[goodnesswins]

Whaasttt??? Reward them again for non compliance? These “leaders” are stoopid, or the graft is overwhelming

[FatherofFive]

A fool and somebody else’s money.

We already know Macron has mental problems...marrying who essentially is his mother. I guess that makes the French voters as dumb as heck for voting for this guy to be their president. Now he wants to give $150 BILLION to arch terrorists for whatever reason. I say he is obviously mental and flailing around for some kind of Odungo-like “legacy”. Oh sure, he’ll have a legacy—as some kind of weakling weirdo, putting the entire work at risk with that kind of infusion of funds to vicious terrorists.

Even Macron couldn’t be this stupid. He must be a closet anti-Semite and is hoping that Iran nukes Tel Aviv.

Or maybe there is a substantial kickback promised.

[Huskrrrr]

More money = more nukes

[beethovenfan]

Macaroon is such a pussy.

[Mariner]

He’s just another in a long list of traitors to Western Civilization.

$15 bil to fund terrorism and nuke development by a country sworn to our destruction.

[bert]

Macron is begging for wine tariffs

By kowtowing to Iran, France becomes an enemy rather than ally

[Don Corleone]

Bribes and blackmail never end well.

[gibsonguy]

Idiot.

[VTenigma]

Emmanuel “Neville Chamberlain” Macron. Hey Manny, appeasement never works, dumbass.

[falcon99]

With idiots like Macron, it is no wonder the world is so messed up. He is the epitome of the French — the first response to anything is to surrender — that’s what he is doing. He is brainless.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Typical European nonsense - paying danegeld & tribute to keep their shady business interests intact, hoping they won't be attacked or kidnapped. Same old, same old.

Just like Obama did, he allows cash to go to Iran and takes a kickback. All Iran has to do is launder the money.

[T Ruth]

After the kickbacks, the mad mullahs will only net $13.5 billion.

[Eleutheria5]

Macron est un moron.

[smvoice]

Look who’s trying to buy peace in the Middle East..

[Eleutheria5]

It’s called jiziya, in this case Macro(n)-jiziya.
