The Biden gift to Iran
"Releasing $6 billion to the butchers in Tehran just so American hostages can go to a different type of prison is a terrible deal," Pompeo wrote. "Iran shouldn't profit from holding Americans hostage."
The media is barely covering it but senile Joe has done it again. He just made a one-sided deal with Iran to get back hostages. Iran is holding Siamak Namazi, Emad Sharghi and Morad Tahbaz, whom the U.S. government says had all been wrongfully detained on bogus spying charges. Two other names have been withheld. To gain their release Joe Biden removed certain sanctions, unfreezing nearly $6 billion of Iran’s assets in South Korea, which has made Iran near solvent once again.
What a great deal....for Iran. Joe and Barack have done so much for them. They only want to destroy us along with Israel.
The moral of the story is: It pays to take American hostages.
The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Tucker Carlson may also be waiting for a response.
Just another pathetic thing for Biden to point to and say "I did that".
Where you live, you get to experience it every day. In NYC, Chicago and Martha's Vineyard, they can't even take it in small doses.
Got that right.
6 billion for slightly better imprisonment terms. Sure won't incentivize more hostages.
Meanwhile China and Russia are sailing flotillas into the waters around Alaska. All the US had on hand was a handful of Destroyers. China knows that the US Navy is stretched to the limit and old Joe is weak. Another story that was barely covered as was the pitiful deal with Iran.
You're right, we should immediately respond with a full Naval response. World War 3 be damned!!!

You see, that is what they feared Trump would do, thus, no warships in US waters, no spy balloons and no invasion of Ukraine!
You're right we should just let them move their warships wherever they want in US waters at any time.
I am sure Putin would never pull a shell game with the US like he did Ukraine.
China even less so. Xi is Brandon's bosom buddy after all. It isn't like Xi just sent a spy balloon across the entire US that Brandon refused to shoot down- until after it had gathered all of the information it wanted.
You have zero info to back that up.
You are ignoring that there were spy balloons during the Trump administration . Or are you hoping nobody would remember?
Are you forgetting the Russian spy ship off our coast during Trump?
Remember, Putin is afraid of NATO and he was probably waiting for his puppet, Trump, to finish sabotaging NATO.
Trump was never going to sabotage NATO. He just wanted them to up their share of the ante. Sure he "threatened" to leave but you cannot think that he would have. Just Trump bluster and he got his way.
I only have the fact that they behaved themselves during the Trump years.
Maybe you need to remember:
The whole "Trump ignored China spy balloons" story is a transparent lie – HotAir
Rem ember, Putin is afraid of NATO and he was probably waiting for his puppet, Trump, to finish sabotaging NATO.
So, he shrewdly took Crimea during the Obama years and Ukraine during senile Joe's regime!
Got it!
Maybe you should learn to read the comment before replying to it, it would make your replies look less foolish. I never said "he ignored them", I simply pointed out that they occurred.
You're trying to compare the 2? He did it during Biden because he realized that NATO was not declawed from Trump's actions, and so he has been tiptoeing around avoiding anything that might bring NATO into the conflict. How different would things have been if he didn't have to worry about NATO?
First Trump made NATO pay their fair share. NATO is thankful that Brandon the Human Fuck Up Machine is in charge now. The NATO tail is wagging the US dog again. Which is why the US is doing all the heavy lifting in Ukraine in military aid, financial aid, and training.
The US is the only NATO country that is militarily ready to fight any war; and does all of the heavy lifting. Iraq, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Libya are all prime examples of that. Putin isn't afraid of NATO- he was scared shitless of the US. Not so much with Brandon the Human Fuck Up Machine in charge.
The Chinese do thank you for your willful ignorance as the US get sucked dry by Ukraine. China is rooting for 4 more years of Brandon the Human Fuck Up Machine being in charge.
Oh, I see / S
Pay their fair share of what?
Defense budgets?
not sure why anyone is married to the idea that Trump wanted to weaken NATO. He didn't do anything to weaken it unless you think asking Europe to pay their share weakens it. I guess "fair share" is only the mantra for taxes.
Their own defense budgets. Nobody else is paying into them, so their "fair share" is 100%.
talking about NATO which is rather obvious
In 2006, NATO members agreed to a target for defence spending of 2% of gdp. Most weren't keeping their commitment. Between Trump's scolding and Russia's invasion, more countries are know exceeding the target.
Paying 2% of GDP into their own defense budget. Which again shows that their "fair share" is 100%.
Trump started this whole "not paying their fair share" NATO complaint based either on his own ignorance, or based on instructions from anti-NATO individuals. It was just his method of attempting to sabotage NATO.
Just as you have zero info that says otherwise?
Bingo!
So Trump takes his talking points from foreigners. Thanks for clearing it up. It also explains why he parrots the foreigner Putin so often.
Why do you call Obama a foreigner, wasn’t his birth certificate good enough for you?
Weird response since he never mentioned Obama?
I think that in a weird juvenile way, he is trying to imply that Obama is a foreigner and that Trump takes strategies from Obama....????
Reread 2.1.21 and 2.1.22
In 2.1.21 I gave you some Obama quotes on NATO countries defense spending. You replied in 2.1.22 that:
Since I had mentioned only Obama, what foreigners are you talking about?
This, along with other questionable deals, seems to give more credence to the suspicions that Biden's first term is actually Obama's 3rd term.
