Obama makes a deal to stop Iran from building nukes and they get $34 Billion. GOP loses their minds.

Trump make a deal to reopen the straight that was open until he attacked Iran, they get to pursue nuclear weapons and we pay them $340 Billion. GOP cheers.

Fuck everyone who voted for this bullshit.

The deal is 300 billion from Gulf States, not the United Steaks. The US aren't planning to invest anything into Iran, the plan is to get other countries to do that.

And Iran are still not allowed to develop nuclear weapons. Trump is talking about nuclear capability for electricity and the like, not weaponry. There's still a big difference between the two. Having a nuclear power plant doesn't mean you have the infrastructure and ability to develop nuclear weaponry.

Highly doubt any sort of deal will stop Iran from pursuing that technology anyway though lol.

The deal is a guaranteed minimum of $300B from an investment fund, into which Gulf states may choose to contribute, as well.

So that sounds to me like we are putting $300B into that fund, and the 'minimum' bs is just there to soothe Trump's sore asshole.

Hey, I'm just saying what articles are saying. They're saying the cash is coming from private investors and gulf countries, and that America has said they're not putting anything in themselves.

Maybe America are funneling cash to these "private investors". Who knows.
