Define “Giving”.
This is like it depends on what the word “is” is.
Giving our money to the mullahs...no that’s not happening. But freeing up billions of seized assets back to the Mullahs is happening. So yes we are giving back the mullah’s money that we have previously seized.
I (and Cruz) never said otherwise.
The net effect is that the IRCG will be enriched, and that’s before the cockamamie “reconstruction” fund kicks in.
I think we will blow them up again in due time.
We have experience.
“we are giving back the mullah’s money that we have previously seized.”
Once we seize something, it is ours.
When a country seizes US assets, those assets belong to them. The reverse applies as well. It’s important to live in the present.
Tell me when US assets stolen by communists in various countries lead to full repayment to the US. They seize; it’s theirs. We seize; it’s ours.
Sometimes the same applies to loans. Tell me when “Lend/Lease” results in full repayment of loans to the US.
Don’t tell me that we seized, so it belongs to them. No one else plays by those rules.
