Oh no you don’t Cletus.

The Shah was an *******. That was 1980?

“remain in power”

F Iran. And don’t back a single penny to the damn place.

 

[DynaLo]

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

You might want to look a bit further into laws that went “poof” under his pen

 

[Hunerwadel]

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.

I think most Iranians wouldn't want to. Particularly the younger generations. Unfortunately their radical twisted religious leaders who seized total control of the country in the late 70s would. Too bad we can't selectively nuke them.

 

[NorthDallas40]

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

And they will never see a penny of that loan and they will die anyway until they cast off their oppressors.

That’s regime change and we got no business doing that either. But yeah I agree with the sentiment.

Until the people of Iran correct their current situation on their own we stay away and don’t send a singular US dollar.

It's now illegal to ride busses without a mask and to hold church services. Doing those things will result in jail time. Freedom!

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Why does the law not apply to the church?

I was able to celebrate Easter in my living room with my Family. Church was amazing. The message was amazing.

Whats the danger in having drive-in service?

 

[VolStrom]

Things today remind me of the crap that went on in the early 70's. The real difference is that the Chinese are trying to screw us over and it took a virus to wake people up instead of a barrel of oil from the Saudie's.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

We all have hypocritical stances on certain issues. What difference does us providing aid thru an intermediary distinguished from direct aid? Guess in this instance you are not concerned with the debt.

What difference does it make? We've already given IMF the money to do what they please. That debt horse is already out of the barn. I don't think they are talking about giving more money on top of what the IMF is giving.

If that were the case, then I would be against that.

Link to the federal legislation Trump signed enacting those laws?

This crap happening at the state and local level is just that crap. However the first response to the people should be their governors and local government. Those people elected those assholes. They’re reaping what they sowed.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Probably not.

Should it matter that their people routinely shout “Death to the USA” in the streets?
Probably not. I guess we should strive to be better than that.

If some other country had come in and overthrown our elected president, Americans would be upset also.

The United States has not been a friend to the people of Iran since 1953.

Have you talked or known any Iranians?

So we should leave them alone and they leave us alone. That includes all fiscal transactions too... like loans sourced with our money.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

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.

Let's do it.

 

[volbeast33]

Our govt just did the same with a half trillion and people say it wasn't enough.

If this is bad enough to shut down the world economy then they should be available to lend emergency funds.

You're not saying f Iran, you're saying Iranians should die because you don't like their govt. Get it right

I don’t think we should send money to other countries when we have not solved our own problems especially when we can’t be sure how that money is even going to be utilized

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

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

The Iranians aren't your enemy either.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Let's do it.

I’m all for it! UN and NATO too!

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

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

It is our fault The Mullahs and The Shah before them were in power.

Iran was one of the most Westernized countries in the Middle East after World War II, and The CIA and The UK destroyed that country because Mossedgh had the audacity to ask for a larger split of oil profits from British Patroleum.

IMF was created to be a system of exchange rates linked to the dollar to be supervised by the IMF, and the Fund was given three critical missions:
1) promoting international monetary cooperation
2) supporting the expansion of trade and economic growth
3) discouraging policies that would harm prosperity

Where exactly does money given to the Iranian regime fall under those three missions? And what the blazes has the regime spent the wads of cash on that Obama sent over? Sure doesn’t appear to be their own people....

That money is already spent and has been sent to the IMF.

That horse is already out of the barn.

A better thing to do would pull out of funding the IMF fro this day forward. If you want to use the IF loan to Iran as an excuse, fine.

However, having said that, why is Diane Feinstein or any US politician lobbying for the another country? There should be legitimate outrage over that also.

Dak Prescott holds birthday party for a friend in violation of Texas 'safer-at-home' orders, per report

That money was Irans money to begin with. It had been held because of sanctions. Don't make it sound like we just gave them cash for no reason. They had earned that money and the US was able to intercept it through sanctions.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Why does the law not apply to the church?

I think a better question would be: Why is there law prohibiting drive-in church services?

In the true spirit of government, it's taken about 5 seconds for those in power to completely forget what we are trying to do here, and start swinging their club around as idioticly as possible.

Where does the money go that is eventually paid back to the IMF?
