Again, I'm more worried about the half trillion of American dollars

Then stop with the faux outrage over money to Iran.

Loan from the imf

IMF. Should their people die because of their govt? Happy Easter I guess

To be honest I think the Iranians would kill you, me and our offspring if they had the chance. I'm not a live and let live person.

Loan from the imf

Who is the biggest backer of the IMF?

Tell you what. Let’s pull out of the IMF and then they can do what they want. Deal?

F Iran.

Pictures with no context are solid reasons. I'm convinced now

Wasn’t trying to convince you. Just adding a photo for context. But point taken.

That’s a photo of Tehran in the aftermath of the Soleimani hit.

And I would guess the average Iranian wants nothing different than you or me.

I've always been a fan of ending aid like this. However the money is gone at this point so it should do what it was spent to do - help those in need

Most of their people do not. Just interesting to see all these caring individuals on this day

Most of their people don't? Did you have cable during 9/11? I did, and I remember the mobs in iran specifically cheering. That said, my point was priority. The democrats like her care more for people who hate us, and illegals than they do ours, that's a fact. Of course America has always helped, even countries who hate us. Right now we have at risk citizens who can't get a mask, toilet paper, or their healthcare. But by all means, screw them, and lets focus on Iran! Am I right?!

I'm not your enemy. Maybe you should look around and see who is?

We were willing to fight for what we wanted. Well we were around 250 years or so ago. The last “revolution” they had put the current group of assholes in power and they’re still there. Thus I would imagine that’s what they want.

F Iran.

Not the Iranian regime as far as I’m concerned which history says is exactly where it would go!

nonsense post all around. This isn't an either/or situation. Its not money for Iran or TP for Bobby Joe. Its a loan from the imf to a country being hammered by a pandemic. It's the reason the money exists

A natural coronavirus experiment is playing out in Kentucky and Tennessee — BuzzFeed News

So the article is saying that Kentucky has less cases because their Governor was more aggressive and that’s better. Here are some other numbers that I didn’t see in the article:

TN tests 10,048/1mil
KY tests 5533/1mil

TN has 5114 cases
KY has 1849 cases

TN has 101 deaths
KY has 94 deaths

TN has 1.9% death/cases
KY has 5.1% death/cases

I really thought journalist left important information out of their articles on purpose. I now think they are to dumb to formulate and expand upon numbers given.

You consider the average Iranian your enemy? What's it like living with such irrational fears?

the US made sure they didn't get the chance for self determination. Still do

LMAO it’s our fault the current assholes in power remain in power?!

 

[DynaLo]

It’s what has happened to all news media, both left and right. They create their own context to make quotations say what they want. Instead of truthful reporting on the actual context of the interview, short little Twitter/headline friendly quips are splice out and inserted into the preferred narrative.

Thank our last president for giving the media the big flashing green light to go all out in using propaganda within our own country. Before obama and his pen it was restricted to places like Voice of America broadcasts.

Are you saying the US hasn't interfered? You just opened a 250yr window

What? The media has been terrible since the founding of this country. Nothing started with Obama

And my point is the same. Don't get me wrong, I get the "love your enemy", but you will never see one from that side of the aisle writing the president to help Americans. Just my opinion.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Oh no. Not at all. But I’m not going to try the stretch deflecting game you’re playing to try and get out of this.

The Iranian regime has consistently diverted humanitarian aid funds to their own use. We are diametrically opposed to everything that regime stands for. We should expect them to divert this money too. F Iran and don’t make this loan. I feel no damn guilt that we owe them anything.

 

[VolStrom]

You consider the average Iranian your enemy? What's it like living with such irrational fears?

Yes I do. I had a couple of Iranian college professors back in the 70's, one was great the other one sucked.
The average Joe Iranian may not have a bone to pick with the US, but the flag burning and hate the US chants make me just say FU Iran.

Oh ffs quit making everything about stupid party politics. It's the reason we're in this mess. The Iranian people dying aren't your freaking enemy

That side just signed on to two trillion in aid just like your team did
